J M Young Morris Chair # 284

  

    

The two photos above show the chair as it sits in the showroom, with the recovered cushions.  The seat cushion is a wood frame with 9 coil springs and all new padding and fabric.  The photos below show just the frame ready for the cushions.

      

The frame was in great condition when I got the chair, no loose joint or broken pieces.  The original leather covering on the cushions was ripped so it was replaced with fabric.

The chair is 30" across the arms and the arms are 4-7/8" wide.  The arms are  22" high and 35_1/4" loong.  The back is 37" high with 4 curved slats and three positions for the back bar.  there are corbels under the arms on both the front and back legs.  None of the seat stretchers are mortised thru the legs and only the front seat stretcher is pinned.

This piece is 29" wide, 17" deep and 32" high.  The drawer is 2.5" deep.  The back splash is 28" wide and 1.5" high.  The drawer pulls are not original. They came from a Stickley Brothers Sideboard I bought for parts several years ago.

Gustav Stickley #712 Desk with Cabinet Top

Inventory No: 1081 $1,750.00   

   

As can seen from the above photos the top is stained in two places.  One is a water stain probably caused by a flower pot, and the other is most likely an ink stain.




The desk is 48" wide by 28 3/4" deep and has 23 1/2" knee height under the center drawer. The height to the top of the cubbies is 36". Based on the red ink stamp and the paper label this desk was made between 1907 and 1911.
          

The three photos show the underside of the top at both ends and the back with the "Figure 8" table top fasteners, 5 on each end and 3 across the back.


        

The photos above are the two ends, and back upside down on the work bench.

  

Each drawer is numbered on the bottom with a corresponding number in the case to identify which drawer goes where.


There is clear evidence that the desk at one time was stored standing in water the bottom inch or so are darkened by standing water.

Harris Lebus Mahogany Sideboard

Inventory No: A1075  $1,150.00

 

Based on a few comments I received on an earlier posting about this sideboard and some further research I came to the realization that the strap hinges are identical to those on a piece I had a couple of years ago. I initially listed that piece as Liberty and Company of London, England. I was corrected in that that piece was by Harris Lebus, also of London, England. I did some further searching through Google Images and have concluded that this sideboard is also by Harris Lebus.   

he top was cleaned and rewaxed.  Remainder of the piece has original finish, except for the doors, of course.  The top has a drying split along a glued joint on the left end.  I got glue into the split and clamped it closed for two days.  Took the clamps off and within 4 hours it reopened.



This is the sideboard as it sits in the Slatington Marketplace.  It has been moved from this space to space A-19.  The two blocks are due to a slope in the floor, not because the front legs are shorted than the back legs.

   

     

   

The photo immediately above is the top after it was cleaned and waxed.  The open joint is visible at top right.

Drop Front Desk

Inventory #A1058  $275.00
 
This desk is in very good, if not excellent condition.  No loose joints.  Appears to be all original with original finish.  It is missing it's key.  I did find a key that would lock the locks but it would not unlock them, but neither would they stay locked.  I've not had the time yet to see if them can be made to work.

      
The overall height is 39-1/4" and it is 34-1/2" wide.  The desk surface is 28" high, 30-7/8" wide and 21" deep to the front of the cubbies. The top shelf is 5-1/4" deep. 
The drawer is not dovetailed.  It is 30" wide, 11" deep and 3-1/4" inside height.  The drawer front is 4" high.
  
 

I just added a very hard to find rectangular dining table to my inventory at the Slatington Marketplace. I acquired this table last summer along with a sideboard at an estate sale on Long Island. The sideboard turned out to be a Gus Stickley #814. The Gus mark was in a center drawer under a paper drawer liner that the auctioneer didn't see, so it wasn't advertised as such. The table came from the same estate as the Gus Sideboard but has no maker mark.

The table was in very used condition, lots of wear on the legs where the chairs bumped into them over and over. The glue joints between the boards making up the top were coming apart so someone in the past drove corregated metal fasteners into the ends to keep them together. I removed the metal fasteners, cleaned off the dirt and excess glue, splined the joint and reglued the top.

I also added a layer of Quartersawn white oak on top of the original flatswan oak. This is not veneer as the layer is 3/16' thick making the top a little over a full inch thick. The top is now about 38" wide by 60" long. I also added new equalizer slides that open 26" for an additional 2' of leaves (not included). The height of the table is a standard 30". My inventory number A1077. Asking $800 as is.
 

Harden Arm Chair

Inventory # A-1057  
$695.00

This chair has it's original spring seat with all new padding and leather covering. The back legs are 37-1/4" tall. It is 22-1/2" front to back at the arm, and the arm height is 25". The arms are 4" wide, and the chair is 28-1/2" wide across the outside of the arms. The slats in the back are 2-1/4" wide and 3/8" thick. The seat is 21" wide in the front and 19" at the back. It is 20" deep. The front legs are 2-1/4" square and the back legs are 1-1/2" by 1-1/4" at the top, a little bigger at the bottom.

It is not completely original.  This chair was damaged in a fire and the four pieces had to be replaced.  These included the back leg on the left (as looking at the chair from in front of it;  1st photo), the left arm, the top back rail and the first slat on the left.

While some of the photos may not show it the best description of the color is Stickley Onondaga.

   

 

52" Diameter Oak Dining Table
Inventory No. A-1040:  $850.00

  
Because of the flash used for these photos the table came out redder than it really is.  It is actually close to Stickley's craftsman in color.  Also, the shine on the top is due to a florescent light right over the table.
