Came across this antique 4 door 3 drawer Solid Oak buffet sideboard.

I would like to learn more about the piece before I restore or upcycle it. What period is this from? What kind of finishing is on this item? Is this varnish, oil, wax? What would be the best way to clean, restore?

I am looking for an appraisal for a Drexel bedroom set belonging to my grandparents that I believe dates back to the early 1900's. The pieces include a double bed with headboard, footboard and side boards, a tall dresser, a shorter dresser with mirror, 2 desk/dressing tables, one chair, and a rocking chair (I believe it may be a nursing chair because it sits low to the ground). There is a second mirror but I cannot recall if it goes on the tall dresser or on the dressing table/desk. The set has never been refinished.

Small wooden throne-style chair with elaborate design, faux leather seat cushion and seat back with nailhead trim. Height: 41", Width: 21", Depth: 21"

This manuscript has been in my family for a long time amidst a very very large collection of KGB and NKVD badges. I have plugged the text into several translators with varying results. It seems to be a handwritten thank you letter possibly accompanying a gift for the labor of building a structure. It is addressed as "The Assistant Chief of Staff" with many accompanying signatures at the end. It appears to be dated in the bottom right corner along with possibly the artist’s signature.

Any help regarding the origin of purpose of this document would be very helpful. A true non-google translation would also be helpful if possible as it appears a lot of words don’t translate well.

Any help is much appreciated, thank you!

Recently acquired. I don’t know

much about this. Feels like waxed canvas, used to have a liner and something that snaps to the back of the jacket.

Old parchment- cream in color with dark ink and a wax stamp. Bought at an estate sale. Looking to for help at identifying and appraising.
