Antiques Vintage Collectible Glass Fenton Murano Fostoria Blenko Antique Art Glass

This is a lovely Victorian ladies’ rocking chair made in solid American chestnut wood and is in unbelievably great condition. Woodworkers can tell you that American chestnut is no longer harvested; it is almost extinct in the wild and only found now in old wooden barns, etc. It is beautifully hand carved and turned. It is comfortable to sit in, but due to its delicate lines, we would not recommend subjecting it to a lot of weight on a regular basis. The runner is stamped, "Natl Chair Mfg Co, Elbridge, N.Y." The chair was originally put together with dowels and glued, however it now has a couple of old screws and nails used over the years to strengthen the piece. There are some scuff marks on the front foot rung.

This is a Vintage Lincoln Beautyware Cake Carrier in pink. The lid has a quilted appearance. There are some small nicks in the enamel, but they are not noticeable at a distance. The rim does have quite a bit of wear and a bit of rust, nothing that cannot be cleaned up with a small bit of steel wool. The closure is a sliding type and it still works. The pink handle has not damage. We believe the lid is chrome, but the base appears to be tin. The base measures 13" square and the carrier stands 8" tall.
