What would you call this style furniture?
Comments (48)I now recant my statement about machine carving. Asymmetry is a good indication that it was hand carved. Perfect symmetry means machine made. Also, the roughness around the leaves indicate hand work. The wood used for the front of the case may be different from the wood used on the side. Or not. A picture of the screw would be good to determine if the core or thread is tapered or the core is tapered and the thread is not. Are both screws an exact match? Is the screwdriver slot in the middle on each of the heads? All these things would be readly apparent if one were to see the object in person, but are difficult to discern from parceled out photographs. So far, I believe Casey's appraisal is holding up. Still a very nice piece of furniture....See MoreWhat would you call this style?
Comments (19)I'm not switching to Arts and Crafts...but I did think it was unusual that this kitchen looked kind of cottage to me. I think it was all the things you're saying are not A & C...the lights, the arched doors, the beadboard on the banquette, and the windows. Our area does have a lot of homes, like Rosie describes, where people have taken these types of houses and painted all the wood. They are very inviting, but I like the posts and ceiling beams...I always thought that was kind of cottage...but not the hardware and square shapes of the cabinetry. So, what is cottage? I'm not really looking for the beach cottage look, more of a woodland cottage/Snow White...but not all heavy wood. I don't mind wood floors, counters, even ceiling beams...but I like creamy white cabinetry and trim. Also, what is craftsman cottage? Is that somewhere in between, or just another type of A & C? Thanks for the info...I'm learning as I go :)...See MoreWhat style would you call this house?
Comments (6)Beautiful, looks as if it might be a Mississippi/Alabama area Plantation style home. I hope it's not too far gone, because the grounds look really lovely with the pond out back....See Morewhat would you call this style?
Comments (8)Thanks Patricia! Yes, I do find the interior door handles and the lighting work well together, and don’t plan on changing either. I am just looking to replace our front door handle as I don’t like the look of it and it is a deadlock style which I don’t like as it’s harder to unlock in the winter with the expansion of the wood. It’s currently a bright brass boring style and very scratched up. Just want to find something in a similar style to our interior handles that I shared the picture of. Am struggling to find something I like....See MoreGooster
