I have a full size sleigh bed made of quatersawn white oak. It was given to me nearly 20 years ago as a gift so I have no idea what it's worth.
I am not sure what kind of cabinet this would be called. It has relief carvings on the face as you can see and the drawer pulls are hand forged iron and the key hole covers and hinges appeared to be stamped not cast .
A few of the decorative nails that hold the hinges on are missing, but being a blacksmith myself I can forge some copies and antiqe the finish to match the originals. I also plan on forging some replacement skeleton keys for it as the original keys are lost.
If anyone can tell me anything else they might know about it or an estimated value that would be great.

The table is in very good condition and I believe it has its original finish. It received a few bumps and scraps during the Northridge earthquake, however, I had antique restorers do some quality repairs.
When the drawer is opened, there are three small wood partitioned sections inside the drawer that are about 5 inches deep and run across the width of the drawer.. The rest of the drawer is not partitioned.
I have tried to find similar furniture online over the years as I would love to know more about when it might have been made and where it may have originated from. I might consider selling it at some point in the future, but am not listing it for sale at this time.
If anyone can provide their thoughts on this unique table, I would appreciate it.
Thank you!
I've just astarted collecting antiques and purchased this chair because I love the era. The wood is oak, I think. The upholstery has been redone, obviously. I want to redo it and make it look like the original. One of the long back spindles has been fixed with some sort of dowling, not sure if it was wood or metal. It was done professionally as I almost missed it before I bought it. (actually I did miss it, my daughter pointed it out.) The springs need to be replaced as they are very loose and if you try to rock in it you will tumble backwards. Just wanted to know what it is actually worth, (I don't want to sell it) and what type of fabric do I need to redo the upholstery? I know it's also known as a carpet rocker but what kind of fabric would that be in this day and age.
Solid oak antique post office desk with top that can be taken off. It has two very deep drawers in front and side doors that open with 2 shelves on each side.
