I have Koken wood folding barber chair. The chair has what was once white canvas or duck seat,back,foot rest and head support and leather belt style arm rests When set up in usable position the leather arms hold it in that position and keep it from colapsing. Can be folded up and carried away. Wood is either oak or walnut. Except for the leather arms the chair is in excellant condition. However it looks as tho it's been in someones attic for 100 years My understanding is that koken invented the hydrulic chair. If this is so is this chair I have made before that invention? I would really like to know more about this chair. Really, Really, Really!!!! E-mail me at jp1@adams.net Thank bunches.

Also a vase that is a deep Chiense Red with a floral design etched around it. It is extremely heavy, and there is on the bottom, there is a circle with two heavy horizontal lines across the top third; it resembles a Christmas tree bulb. In the bottom third of the bulb, there is a word patially obscured. It looks like Maxinui. below that is another word the first two letters are clearly P-A in block capitals, the third might be T.

I have a pair of figurines. They are NOT originals, nor are they numbered, but they are signed P. Frank (for artist only, not an original signature) and were produced by KPM. They stand approx. 16" tall and each have a base approx. 4" in diameter. They are a boy and girl, each carrying fruit, the boy an apple in his hands and the girl with her apron loaded up with apples and other fruit. The boy fell over tonight and his head broke off. The break is pristine with NO missing pieces, chips, or flakes. 1) Not knowing the exact name of the line/pattern, what would be the approx. value of each piece? 2) What would be the best adhesive to repair the broken pieces? 3) What effect does the breakage have on the value of the piece assuming that restoration is perfect? I can send pictures for better ID. Thank You! chefpage@gmail.com

I was left a beautiful old Japanese tea set that my father bought in Japan when he was a Merchant Seaman. At the bottom of each cup is the image of a woman's face with Geisha-like hair and features. I am unable to find any information about the artist or when it was created or the mystery of the woman in the cups. It is handpainted and has what looks like gold around the rims of the teapot, cups, and saucers. It seems to be made of porcelain. I would truly appreciate any light that you or someone you know might shed on my gorgeous tea set. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hi, I'm looking for resources to help me value an older mahogany Duncan Phyfe style drop leaf triple pedestal table with six chairs (rose back carvings - 1 captain). The pedestal are not claw feet, but are straight with rollers on the bottom. This was purchased at an estate sale and the family said it had been purchased in the 1940's, but didn't know if it was purchased new or used. Chairs had been recovered and the original cloth seats underneath seem to be in close to perfect condition (I'm currently taking them off). Original seats are a deep green with what appears to be primarily pink machine stitched flowers - very 1920's or 1930's looking to me. Any insights would be helpful. lisathompson@mchsi.com
I just purchased a Hope Chest at a yard sale. The inside of the cover has a carved inscription "F.B.M. Co. Hobocken, N.J." and "Pat".

There is beveled like carving trim around the top and along the base.

I need help identifying an old rough glazed teapot with it's own 'holding' plate and 4 cups. It is a medium brown rough glaze, (not shiny). It has dragons in relief on all the cups and on the pot but not on the plate. There is a dragon head that sticks out on the lid of the teapot that allows steam to escape from the pot through the dragons mouth. There are no markings on any of the pieces anywhere except for 3 symbols on the underside of the lid. The pot is about the size of a medium Brown Betty pot. The cups are small and sort of bowl shaped. If anyone has seen or heard of a teapot of this type or knows of a very experienced antique identifier, please email me at rainy4949@gmail.com This teapot set is reputed to have arrived in Paris from Istanbul on the orient express in the early 1930's. I'd really like to learn it's history. Thank you to anyone who can help.

I have an old Morris type reclining chair with an attached footrest which swings up (like a modern recliner) when you lean back. I beleive it belonged to my great great grandfather and was brought to the US from Ireland before 1900. The back has been broken and I'm looking to have it restored but I want to make it as authentic as possible. It is oak, I beleive and the sides are sort of harp shaped with a full panel on the bottom half (below the seat cushion) and spindles above. The arms curve and have a flat lion's head at the end of each arm. I have the mechanism for the footrest but do not know how it "attached" to the back of the chair. This is not a chair with wooden pins or a brass part which you latched into to set the chair back. I remember from my childhood that you just leaned back and the chair back went back and the footrest swung up. The last user had some kind of wire across the back that has broken, but was not the original mechanism anyway. The footrest, seat and back cushions are currently in naugahide. I think it had leather at one time, but I wonder if a William Morris fabric would be appropriate? I haven't been able to find anything quite like it pictured on the internet. I would like to hear from anyone with any information about such a chair who can steer me in the right direction for information to make this restoration authentic. E-mail me at http://www.ellenest@hotmail.com and put Morris chair in the subject line so I wont miss it among the spam. Thank you in advance.
