[heritage1991]

We purchased the contents of an old New England home everything seems to be around late eighteen-hundreds early nineteen-hundreds but we are looking for makers and value and in particular wondering about all of these beautiful frames

 

[Bigcypresshunter]

have you really given them a good look for makers labels?

I used to work at an auction but it was a long time ago. But I agee there may be makers marks on the back or in a drawer I think.

Dovetails don't really mean as much as pulling a large drawer out and look at the bottom. See if it's made with one piece of wood.

I posted a video that explains how to look for the older hand cut dovetails which I have on my inherited desk. When I get a chance, Ill look at my drawer bottoms

Flea market may be a good place to get the most money from a sale. Just take one or two pieces so buyers aren't overwhelmed. Picture frames may bring the most $ and are the easiest to transport.
Best of luck!

I never could sell my picture frames at the flea market. . I just tossed them in the trash or sold them for 1-2 dollars.

You are the second person to say this. When has old picture frames become so popular?

I just checked eBay and it appears some frames are selling for good prices. picture frames antique | eBay

You have 7 pictures and 6 different large furniture pieces. We need to know which name went on which piece.

I believe the J.M. Stewart marking or label may be from the retailer out of Concord, N.H. (near me), rather than a manufacturer.
