  1. Forgive my saying so but I believe you are looking at the original finish. It was just neglected. Based on the pictures I would say this is aged and weathered teak wood. The over cuts and what shows ...
  2. You would be correct, the nails are not at all old. Neither is the table.
  3. My opinion only. The front end of the skids have been cut off, seat replaced and the entire chair refit and re-guled with not so attractive glue. If you look at or photograph and post the under side I...
  4. I wonder if you can post photos of the under side? Maybe the joints? I would agree this is imperfect in terms of carving but I would like to see more. If not possible that is OK.
  5. Not much more anyone can say. Nice piece.
  6. DO NOT put much faith in what I say, I am learning. I would say this is neither antique or vintage but modern. There are no stretchers to support the legs and the seat is laminated from two pieces tha...
  7. Point well taken. Lumber grading in the USA began in 1922 and this was built well after that. Both hardwood and softwood were to be graded. It took a number of years for the system to take hold but th...
  8. I wonder if you could post a closer picture of the front and one of the dovetails? Birds eye maple is very pronounced and I don't see it in the picture. A closer one might help. Thanks
  9. Ok, here we go. Secondary wood is a low grade wood that you might apply veneer over or use as sides and/or bottoms for drawers, backs and such. The front of this is aye grade or better. You don't buy ...
  10. I may be new and I may be learning but oak was not used as a secondary wood.
  11. Is this the actual table you own or an image from Google images Wegner reproductions? The image matches Google images.
  12. Almost the end of the week and I need a good grade. Could you show a picture of the drawer construction? Also, I notice blue steel tacks and phillips heads screws on the back of this. Would I be corre...
  13. Could you tell us if the casters are one inch and whether they are made of leather or wood? The metal appears to be steel rather than brass. I am doing a fun apprentice type thing learning how to repa...
  14. I am being guided by a friend so here it is. This is a double press back which came after the press back chairs. There is a really obvious difference. Don't shoot me down I am learning to. thanks
  15. I'm probably a bit dizzy. I was looking at the door pic's and there is only one hinge showing here. Probably bad camera lighting but I only see one fairly new brass hinge sticking out. If it only has ...
  16. I am not a collector, more a hoarder. I had a thought but better left alone. I like the piece so that is all that counts. Your price sounds really reasonable.
  17. Wonderful piece. I wonder how you happened to date it to 1880's? The cove and beads are unusual. Stunning piece as it sits.
  18. Another interesting point would be these miniatures are carved from Tagua every day and sold as ivory. Tagua nuts are the closest thing there is to ivory in the world and quite difficult to tell the d...
  19. Yes the W&H over CO is all inside the heart the 10K is below the heart. When I turn it right side up the initials are quite clear RM. Nobody I ever knew. I only kept it because of the 10K mark which I...
  20. The paper is quite difficult to read as it was written in pencil and is badly faded. I will double check the marks in the heart. The marks are very clear so I may have typed it incorrectly. I appr...
  21. Thank you both for the loves, I almost forgot about that part.
  22. Thank you very much. Once I read your post the light bulb went off as to the name. I can now mark this solved as soon as I find where to do it. Thank you I appreciate it.
    23. See more
