<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DBalisteri, post: 10207941, member: 90411&quot;]Good evening,</p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; My F-I-L is cleaning out a house for an estate.&nbsp; It was a bit of a hoarding situation but found some nice pieces of furniture that either need to be cleaned or restored.&nbsp; I could really use some help.&nbsp; One is a brass bed frame; it belonged to the father of a 93-year-old man, so we know it is old.&nbsp; I read to check for seams on the posts and some different ways to tell if it is all brass or a brass veneer, but if it pre 30&#039;s I cant imagine that is the case.&nbsp; I am going to have him check for any kind of stamp or makers mark as we are trying to figure out a value for it and to understand what he has.&nbsp; From the same house he has a black walnut table with an in lay on the top of the table with an ornate metal piece on the wooden support that ties the legs together.&nbsp; its 29 inches high, 48 inches, 18 inches deep.&nbsp; the wood is all solid but it needs a full restoration. Can anybody identify what kind of table it is, not brand but what it is called and what it would be used for.</p><p>Lastly is an antique rope bed that actually has been in his family since at least the 30&#039;s and is in really good shape.&nbsp; both ends are beautifully spindled.</p><p>Any help would be greatly appreciated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
