| I'm extremely pleased about my most recent CL find - an oak deco sideboard for only $100. It was very dirty and dry, but a wipedown with Murphy's oil soap and plenty of wax-n-feed and it just glows.
Wondering if anyone has any thoughts on its origins. I got it from a guy who cleans out homes for estates and sells the stuff no one wants, so he didn't know anything about it. Please excuse the box underneath - I still need to take out the dirty lining of one drawer before I can put things away. Unfortunately, I'll have to replace the pulls - it's missing two and the bakelite in the others is very brittle.

| Wonderful!....shame about the handles. Wonder if you could find repros? But I don't think those feet were original to the piece. Does the bottom show any evidence of there have been different feet at one point? |

| That looks pretty nice! Not the gaudy veneered deco stuff (which I love) but the grownup equally fabulous lowkey-but-still-glamourous solid stuff (which I also love). Maybe try Muff's? Can't believe they haven't changed their name in the internet world.... |

| It looks like English Art Deco to me. |
