I found this at a thrift store and thought it interesting enough to buy for $15…I’m thinking it’s a music stand for instructor and student to use, but I’m uncertain and don’t even know if it is an antique or just made to look like one.
I’d appreciate any information you might be able to give…

Hello. So glad to be here!
This end table is one of a pair I inherited years ago. There are no distinguishing marks of origin. It is extremely well made of solid wood but small. Dimensions: 21in tall by 12 in wide by 23/25 inches deep (curve adds 2 inches to top surface). I think it’s mid century but it may be older? If anyone has any info or a more educated guess I would love to hear your thoughts.
You can find a picture of the end table here:
I tried to create a new thread and for whatever reason it appears as a reply to this existing thread. Also, I couldn’t upload a picture nor save it to a small enough size to accommodate this sites requirements. Sorry to force you all to click through and back.
Thank you so much, in advance, for your assistance!

I have a cedar chest that belonged to either my mother or grandmother. It was manufactured by Ed Roos Company of Forest park, Illinois and is style no. 628, serial number 268768. Can you ascertain the date of manufacture? Additional pictures of this chest can be provided. Is it possible to determine the value of this chest? I could not locate any chest similar to this on an Internet search. thank you.

An online appraiser said that this is a Martha Washington Lolling chair, and that it is not an antique but a reproduction likely made in the 1930s to 1940s. He said that in its current condition its value is about $75, but would fetch $200 – $300 if refurbished with a new seat.
It has NO markings of any kind. I think there used to be a front piece between the front legs.
I have scoured online for pictures of Martha Washington Lolling chairs, but they all look very “slight” compared to this one, and almost all the pics I saw, there were few with rails between the legs and most all had arms very ‘dainty’ that went about half way and then curved downward.
Does anyone else agree with the appraiser’s assessment? He didn’t give a style period. If you disagree, what type/style/period chair do you think this is?
I am asking because someone wanted to buy it from me and I have no idea what the asking price should be.
Thank You!
I have more pictures but am new here and do not know how many I can upload, if more than one.
