Antique Furniture??
« on: April 17, 2010, 11:49:02 am »
My mother is interested in information regarding these Antique and/or older pieces of furniture.  There is no identifying information anywhere on the them.
 
The Oak Wash Basin stand with towel harp, belonged to my Grandfather's born 1912 Grandmother's so it is at most 19th century and presumed at least 150 years old.

The Oak Side-by-side Secretary, is presumed at least 100 years old. It has the original glass door and beveled mirror. This belonged to my Stepfather's Father who had no info on it except that "it was Oak and old."
 
Has anyone encountered furniture like this before, or have any information regarding them and/or their value?

Any information would be greatly appreciated Thank You in advance

You have an oak washstand with towel bar harp.  Any markings on the piece of maker?

Your next piece is called many names:  Side-by-side Secretary, Breakfront Secretary, etc.

We really need to see pics that are closer up of the details/condition and side views of pulled out drawers.

There are many repros out there!

A nearly identical washstand has been listed and relisted on the SF bay area craigslist. They are only asking $150 for it, but this may be one of those items that you really have to have the right bedroom/bathroom to make it work.

Not as attractive as your mother's..........

A private listing ( unlike the dealer ones above) on Kijiji, Calgary, Can.  with the price reduced to $1,025. (Still nice pocket change  ;))
