I purchased these a couple of years ago and have not been able to tell the age of them or the value. They are beautiful flamenco dancers figurines. Thanks for any info
This china cabinet was bougth as a wedding present for my grandmother by my grandfather when they lived in Chicago from Mendekl Brothers furniture. It was bought as an antique. The cabinet is in very good condition and has never been restored. The upper back portion inside the cabinet has a mirror. The shelves on the inside are beveled and appars to be match the same type of cabinet wood, maybe a walnut. The side glass is contoured to the shape of the cabinet.
Not sure on the period these were made. Definitely circular saw used to cut pieces. Walnut? The legs and supports for table, china cabinet and side table are large and bulbous. The dining table is expandable and has an extra leaf. There are no markings or numbers to be found. I'm guessing it was made in the 1940s? What would the market value be for something liike this? Should I refinish and restore it?
I just know that it was in her home when she purchased it in the early 1940's. The house was already there for about 20 years before she moved in. As far as I can tell, it is still in pretty good condition. I can remember taking baths in this tub as well. The tub has been passed on to me, and I know of someone inquiring about it. Before I put a asking price, I would like to know if it's worth any value.
It is an old Chinese vase with a painted picture. It has lots of "gold" paint which makes it hard to take good pictures. There is a Chinese character at the bottom but I cannot take pictures of it as the flash in the camera makes the gold decoration shine too bright. I will try outside! The rest of the paint has lots of orange, yellows and ligth blue. There is a scene with 13 characters. One of those characters seems to be a woman and is being carried by two men. The vase is not round but has 6 sides.
Four 6" figurines of a baker, monk, woodsman, and a barefoot man with a walking stick. Each has a round hole in corner of mouth where you can place one of the rolled up 'cigarettes' that came in 3 small packets of a paper Kent cigarette box. When lit, they blow smoke rings. Very unusual.
