This chair is profiled in “The Big Book of Antique Furniture” by Lindquist (which I find to be a valuable reference for the $2.00 investment at Amazon.com) on page C-10. It’s nice to find the furniture [...]

New York Renaissance Revival Center Table

August 28, 2007

Coming up for auction from GoAntiques Live is this Rosewood ebonized, inlaid, gilt-incised, and bronze-mounted center table (that’s a lot of bling).

1880s/1890s Onyx and Metal Parlor Table

August 21, 2007

I am selling one of the pieces from my house as I just can’t find “the right place” for it amongst the rest of my collection. It is rather sizable as far as parlor tables go (34″h x 24.5″w x 30.5″d) as most tables of the period are only 27-30″ tall. Roman [...]
