Stratford House Desk

I also grabbed this desk at the Fairfield Ct. estate sale.  Now I'm not sure if this desk is collectible but I really liked the angled edge on the top of the desk.  I didn't find much about this company online but I will continue to look. The desk is in near new condition. Thanks for looking!

Thayer Coggin Parsons Table?

I happened to be in Fairfield Ct. today and ran across an estate sale.  I picked up 2 items one of them being this Parsons table.  It still has the original sale tags on it.  It is a bit dirty and there are some cracks to the finish but the gold color is beautiful.  Everything I've seen online about these tables attributes them to Milo Baughman.  I'm not sure if this is one of them.  Most of the Baughman tables seem to have a wood veneer finish and this has more of a painted lacquer.  If anyone has any information I'd love to hear it.  Thanks!

Kodawood mystery chairs

I just picked these up this afternoon from Jennifer at Jen's Vintage. They are in pretty bad shape but I've never seen this style by Kodawood so I figured I'd get them. The chairs need to be completely stripped of the fabric, they were reupholstered 3 times but never removed the previous fabric, and all of the joints need to be disconnected and redone. Anyone have any ideas for the name of these chairs?  Any help would be appreciated!  Here is an article on Jen in the examiner news. www.theexaminernews.com/archives/putnam/PutnamExaminer6-1-10.pdf  The article is on page 12. Jen's prices were super reasonable and she was great to talk with. She also has a shop set up in the Hopewell Antique Center. 876 Rt. 82 Hopewell Junction N.Y. I'll update as I progress further with these chairs.



Here is another link to a pretty helpful site about the Kodawood clam chair:
