New to the forum

Hi, just joined! excited!

Have some old pieces, wanted to find out the value.

 

Does anyone remember a 6 seater brass dining room set, wicker backs and bottom chairs? It had a tinted glass top.

 

Hi Doc ...welcome.

if u need help with things...pick the correct forum....post lots of under 1 mb photo's......and away we go.

 

oh...and it's not really a site here for valuation.....but we'll point u in the right direction...

 

Welcome!

 

Thanks

 

Greetings, Doc!

 

Hi Doc, and I do remember those . It was early 80s .

 

so, what's up.......................never mind, too obvious and much to childish...........

Let's leave it at WELCOME!

 

I wanted to know what it was called? Do u remember?

 

Welcome!

 

Greetings, Doc!
Just taking a stab at the chairs you're describing ... are they Breuer chairs?
I know next to nothing about furniture, but several friends had these as dining sets in the 70's and 80's

 

Welcome!

 

I had a 2 chair and smallish round table set like that as my kitchen set in the 80's, quirky. But Doc said brass. I don't remember them being made in brass, but I suppose it's possible. The Breuers weren't "wicker" either, but caned as you showed.

 

Yeah - it was really just a wild guess

I've seen both brass and chrome Breuer-style chairs ... but they are easier to find with the chrome finish. Frankly, I was just too lazy to search for a pic of one with brass ... but here's one.


and yes, you are correct - this is caning. My fourteen years at Pier1 imports taught me that many folks use the terms wicker, rattan, and cane, and rush interchangeably, so I consider all possibilities until I know how familiar they are with each.

 

Hi Doc, and WELCOME!! You should LOVE it here!!! We also have a lot of fun while exchanging and dissecting information!!!! When posting pictures, 1MB is the size limit, 10 images per post, and when you upload the files, the very TOP IMAGE lets you click to "post every image FULL SIZE"....MUST DO!!!!! You also will find, most of the 'experts' here would like close ups, several angles, dimensions, and any other information you can provide about the object in question.....that should get you off to a great start!!! So, Ready and Waiting.....................

 

Hi I'm new, not used to antiques and have an item with no information on google, nothing, need help to see if its valuable. Its a gammon Morgan water in sand measurer with original case. Any ideas?

 

Welcome!
We need lots of pictures with detail. Before you load them make them 480x640 then use the FULL IMAGE option.

 

Thanks everyone for all the well wishing as well as the information, it is of significant assistance. much appreciated.

 

Morning. I am new to the forum and I need help please. I have a string of rhino horn beads that were my grandmothers. They must be around 80-90 years old and originally from either Zambia or the then, Rhodesia. Are the legal to sell, how would I sell them and how do I establish a value?
Thanks
