Hi Hoping this will be of interest to you. We have a sideboard which has been in the family since the 1950s my Grandfather purchased it in London at a exhibition it has always been known in the family as the Danish sideboard.We have had it in our house since 2004 it was moved a couple of weeks ago as we are combining our kitchen and dining room and we noticed the number 27 on the back so we decided to do some research this is what we found. 1/ There are lots of models 25/26/28/29/29A available for sale at dealers no 27 2/Our sideboard is the same width 84" and height 31" as the model 28 and looks the same wood 3/A model 27 does not appear in any catalogue or brochure held by any auction house or dealer we have contacted 4/We have searched the auction results of 4 million items on Mearto and Artnet no model 27 5/Our sideboard was made for export hence the imperial width 84" so we looked at the George Tarnier catalogues no 27 6/we looked in the Danish furniture directory no 27 7/ We contacted Marilyn Palley who started the Danish museum directory and she attributed it to Arne Vodder 8/There is no makers name on the sideboard because it was not intended for sale only exhibiting. We have come to the conclusion that this sideboard was never mas produced [the dovetails on the drawers are hand cut] and was never marketed and ours is the only one in existence.My Grandparents attended the Ideal Home Exhibition in London throughout the 50s and 60s we know Arne Vodder exhibited in London in 1954 we think my grandfather purchased it after the Exhibition so there would be no shipping costs back to Denmark and it could not be sold in Denmark because it is a imperial size.Because of the amount of work involved in the manufacture and cost of materials solid Rosewood not veneer the sideboard proved too expensive to sell in the Uk and they moved on to cheaper to manufacture sideboards.A local dealer has looked at it and considers it to higher quality than the model 29. We are considering selling the sideboard if you are interested please find attached photos.

A while ago you appraised my "portrait of a man" (attached). He was in poor condition. Since then I took the portrait to The Spa (actually Saratoga Spings NY) for some rejuvenation. Here is the result. Could you do a second appraisal? The consensus seems to be tat this is a 19th c copy of a circa 1620 Dutch painting. This is base on a clear opinion that the frame is mid 19th century. I note that this portrait is very similar to the VanDyck 1618 portrait of a man at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC.Is this painting worth additional authentication research? And if so, what are approximate costs? Thank you. If I wanted to sell, which galleries do you recommend for such of masters or their copies?

Hello, I am interested in finding out about information and the value of this cool old bible. I would be interested in putting it up for auction depending on estimated value. Or if this is not of interest could you please direct me to someone/someplace else? As you’ll see from the pictures, the Bible is in poor condition. (My mom used to play with it as a child). I believe it is passed down through my Mother’s side, from Ireland/England There are several dates inside this King James Bible: 1619(?) 1637. It measures approximately 6” x 4” and contains both old and new testaments. I’ve tried to find images of the same bible, but can’t seem to. Perhaps it’s not as old as I think? I was looking based on 1637/1638/1639 but it may be that pages are missing? Thanks!

25 x 37 inch oil painting by Quentin Coyle. The only online information I could find about him was his obituary and his letters home when he was a POW in World War 2 after his plane was shot down in Germany. This was purchased by myself from a very wealthy elderly local widow. They had very substantial high end art, furs, cars and furnishings. She believed they purchased this in San Francisco and hung above there piano for years. I simply loved the image which seems to cause most who see it and emotional response. It is my guess that the subject manner of the painting is something he had seen during the war. I do not know the title and have not tried to contact the family.
