Funiture & Accessories:: Does anyone know anything about this.....
Hey there!

There is this Amazing wardrobe at the local thrift store, and I was wondering if there are any experts that have any information at all about it? Age, value, style? I've attached a bunch of pictures and a link to a video I took. It really is beautiful, but I know virtually nothing about antique furniture.

Good evening,

I have aquired an old desk I would like to restore using original materials.
But I am not sure exactly where to start on dating the piece to research what materials were commonly used in that time frame.

Hello all!

Can you spare a little time to answer this poll?

For you, what is one of the first factors considered to determine the selling price of an antique?

Funiture & Accessories:: Broken Teapot Worth Half A Million Pounds
Hello MimiAntiques and all of you,

I remember on time I purchased a Devilbiss Imperial perfume atomizer in damaged/cracked from a fellow ebayer (a very high-end seller). He was selling his leftovers and unwanted at the Lachute flea market. Got it for almost nothing and sold it on eBay for over a thousand dollar in 2006. He was really impressed.

I can't find the picture but will look for it next week ... added a similar (but not as good as the other one) Devilbiss Imperial atomizer.

Have a nice day ... keep hunting

Has anyone seen a hutch like this before. It has a large "notch" built into. We believe it came out of a school. We have no idea what it was built for.

Funiture & Accessories:: Need Help with Candle Lantern
I recently purchased this very large, double candle, candle lantern from a local estate and have been having trouble dating. It is about 30' tall, punched tin, with 6 glass panels. Have any of you had experience with similar? No markings, the suspending ring is a split ring style. Of course, any input on value is always helpful. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
