Re: Simmon Steel Desks -- 2 different styles
Comment by Lovejoy

These are pretty typical of institutional furniture made from the mid 1920's through the late 1940's. Sadly they don't really have much value in the current market, I've seen the chairs go for about $50.00 a piece, the desks $150.00 at auction.
Re: Antique CWS Pelaw-on-Tyne Armoire
Comment by Lovejoy

C.W.S is a short form for "Co-Operative Wholesale Society" which operated in Pelaw, England, from the Victorian era through the 1950's . Cabinets like this were mass produced, most in North America were shipped here in container loads by Antique dealers from the 1980's onwards to fill demand for larger cabinets. Values for them has slipped a great deal in recent years, most like this now start at about $150.00 and top out at about $650.00., most sell for under $250.00
Re: Where these metal chairs made by SIMMONS?
Comment by antiquegma

Hi, Can't figure out how to post a pic in this reply. The tag on the chair is identical to the one on the desk (in the original post) except for the thin coat of green paint over it. I found a another Simmons desk that is really unusual. It needs refinished. I will try to post it soon.

Thank you kindly for your message. I would like to sell it, I was concerned the value has declined.

Oil paintings are not suitable candidates for any type of online appraisal format, they require a physical appraisal by a specialist.

The marking on this one date 1871-91, it's pretty typical of Staffordshire ironstone and earthenware wash basin sets made during the period. Sadly values for them have declined a great deal since their peak in the late 1980's, comparable piece now often sell for under $100.00 at auction.

Re: antique hardwood lincoln rocker?
Comment by Lovejoy

It appears to be a reproduction from what I can see, doubt it predates the mid 1970's.

The style of the tag could help date the chair, pop an image up if you can.
Re: Where these metal chairs made by SIMMONS?
Comment by antiquegma

Update....Well, my guess was right.. The chairs are definitely made by Simmons. I was getting ready to try to remove a little paint under the seat to see if there was a label. I decided I would try to examine the chairs one more time. I actually had my phone flashlight on. The tag was painted over but you could still see the label through the paint. Now, to refinish them the same color as the desk.
