<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 3830064, member: 5170&quot;]It&#039;s rare to see a purpose-built gun rack from the 1890s, which I would say is when this was made, all of a piece, complete with casters. Most antique gun racks are actually bookcases repurposed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d call it Eastlake style with a nice extant crest and bin pulls, all original and consistent with an 1890s date. Love the round mirror, what a great touch! So lucky that it&#039;s signed, too. Proof of the maker always helps with value.</p><p><br /></p><p>The repeating interior clasping elements do suggest the storage of multiple similar objects, why not guns? I admit, however, that I&#039;ve never seen anything quite like this.</p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a rare - possibly unique -&nbsp; piece, seems to have complete integrity, and as noted above has a certain charm that goes with the slightly rough craftsmanship, which is after all in keeping with its somewhat rustic purpose.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
