Modern Gothic or Eastlake/Aesthetic or Both?

May 15, 2009

Bob Courtney Auctions is selling this 3-piece bedroom set on Ebay at the moment and the sale will be ending today.  The have listed it as an “Eastlake Aesthetic Movement” set and I’ve been mulling over this categorization and haven’t yet come to grips as to whether it falls cleanly into that genre or if [...]

Victorian Canterbury

April 2, 2008

Here’s a nice inlaid and gold-incised Canterbury (music stand) coming up for sale via Ebay Live Auctions. This form is a more tapered shape whereas I personally own one that is more of a squared-off shape.

December 10, 2007

This Modern Gothic dresser/secretary has a central drawer that pulls out and the front panel drops to expose a desk surface. The design elements of this piece are primarily Eastlake due to the shallow incisings, grooved panels, and rectilinear design. The finials and “dormers” on the piece bring a modern gothic accent to [...]

Pabst Poker/Tavern Table

November 30, 2007

Sometimes my auction searches by keyword bring up some interesting items such as this Pabst table …
Pabst Blue Ribbon table that is – yes, the beer company. My search is intended to identify antique Daniel Pabst items coming up for sale but today’s search brought up something not by the famous Philadelphia cabinet maker, [...]
