bronwynsmom, Thank you for posting the link. I really like that style, and the price is reasonable. Question - It's also offered in antique nickel, and I have nickel fixtures throughout that space and accenting the stove. I haven't any bronze, so I'm curious why that's the finish you suggested. Do you think it's a better choice with the chair? To your eye is it better to mix it up and introduce another finish than to try to match?

It's a bureau form with a "dressing slide" under the top. It's kind of Queen Anne with the simple plinth and feet, but the brasses are more of a Chippendale "willow" style as opposed to simpler "batwing" like I would think of on Queen Anne. I don't think it is supposed to be a particular reproduction, just a revival piece. The front of the case looks like mahogany, I don't know about the drawers. The flecking or spotting is intentional and the lighter finish seems typically 1950s-60s.

Google 'fishbone lamp" and see if any are close enough. That shade, however, you might have to make with duct tape. :P

Helen, really thank you very much for your input. Helped a lot to research more. I am not expert either of course and I just try to gather information that many times is confusing. I will definitely do as you suggest to contact galleries and auction houses to see if they are interested in the objects. Now I am in the documentation/research phase. Oliviag, very correct your remarks. This is what I think as well. There is something Grecian/Neoclassical but the angels and gold colors make it more baroque/rococo. The Hollywood regency term is also very interesting. I will look on that. Bisque term is also something new to me. Thanks! Also thank you for the condolences. Much appreciated. Indeed she had a great influence to my life, her, as well as all the products that I used to observe when I was little and everything looked so huge, so strange in the dim, warm light she used to have at home. A kind of goldish warm feeling. I have very mixed feelings letting everything go but objects need to serve the right place in the right moment. And these objects did that very well. Life moves on. With a part of the money, I plan to buy a nice mechanical (60s like) watch to remember her. A kind of transformation.
