Antique salesman sample sofa

Category
General Antiques and Collectibles
Condition
Excellent
Description

i fell in love with this ten years ago in an antique shop. I was told it was a doll sofa.  Since then, someone who saw it told me it was a rare salesman's sample of a sofa.  When i figure out how to use my new digital i can post pictures.  It is upholstered in a burgandy-ish velvet. I do not know if velvet is original.  Just curious.  Can't find anything like it in many online searches and auctions.  Thanks for anything you can tell me.

Excellent

Rosewood(?) dresser with 2 small & 4 large locking drawers. Mirror back-mounted to top. Front surface is curved similar to } only rounded in the center.  Beautiful piece in excellent condition.  No idea on manufacture date; was owned by grandparents who were both in their 90's.  Piece has been with them since at least the 60's.  Alexander H. Revell, Chicago IL nameplate on back uses "old-style" script.  My guess is it is 1940's or older.

Ceramic/stoneware vase

Category
Ceramics and Porcelains
Condition
Good
Description

tess3tessvase2This looks to be a very old vase to me. The glaze looks old. everything about it looks like its been around for a lot of years. Darker around the top like it was baked to long or somthing. I dont know. It Looked pitiful in the junk store so I bought it. It rocks a bit when you set it on a table. Not very streight on the bottom. Cream color. Not as white as it apears in the pics. Around the top is a little darker then the rest of it. There is seam marks on the sides just under the handles and above so must be pressed. There is a number I can barley make out on the bottom. I think its 447/ its hard to see. Then something that may be a mark or just a tiny place where the glaze is worn. The glaze is on the bottom as well just not around the edges that would set on the table. The relief on the front is raised. not sure what it is. looks like a urn or lamp wiith two handles and beads draping and hanging down. I just would like to know something about it. Im wondering who would make such a small unatractive pitiful little thing.
