I don;t know the name of this object in english but it look very old, my grandfather used to have one beside his bed!!I cant find any similar item any where, can you help me?
The front of this cabinet has 5 drawers on it that go the full depth of the box. The top drawer has the Coat's ONT logo on it. The other 4 drawers have thick heavy glass panes that slide into groves and are 1/4 of an inch thick. The sides and back have the Clark's round logo on it centered.
I recently purchased a house and this was in it. It's the kitchen sink / cabinet assembly. I didn't think much of it, but then I noticed that there is a Hotpoint logo on the front. I know nothing about kitchen antiques, but I thought it was weird that this would have been a manufacturerd item. The house was built in 1955, so I'm assuming this item was from then also.
Like I said, I know nothing about this so any input would be appreciated. I'm basically wondering if I should throw it away or not.
American Chippendale slant front desk. Reportedly from early 1800's or late 1700's. Seller's auction report says the wood is Birch, but resembles Walnut to me. Side panels and lid are one piece of wood. All but one lock is present, brasses look original, and there is no overt sign of refinishing. Although the finish is dull and I'm not convinced it hasn't been worked on. Some cracking in the lid. Repairs to several drawers. Front legs repaired. Interior drawers have black fronts; I'm not sure if this is orginal 'ebonization' or has been painted.
