Art Deco

[GEDunton]

Here's the deal. I have this thirty-something son, a baker. you know, breads. Just one of the litter. He has expressed am interest in a piece of furniture. His Papa makes some of that stuff. Anyway, he knows it free then. Naturally, I am agreeable, but warn about the time to figure it out and do it.

His request-an Art Deco dresser. I just delivered an Art deco table yesterday to his younger sister. Vermillion and canary with a wiped and rubbed lacquer finish and waxed to low gloss. That'a another tale after I have pix.

Not a dimension as yet, but it has to fit in a hatch back car. He has to pick up, only way to get the kid to visit.

So lets kick off this forum. What is needed is a list of features, materials, elements, characteristics that define the essense of an Art Deco dresser. The challenge-cover every one of them. There is no pressure, I don't have to have this done until 3/3/02. Feed me! Of course, you must include not only design elements, but construction details, too!

Well, this is worth the paper it is written on. I have no clue. How about posting a pic of the Art deco table. Make it to match beings its all in the family. Redimension it and add drawers?

I dont know, hey just found this one

[Dave Hammelef]

Ok lets see if this way works.

How about building something like this. From Legend Atiques .net

[Dave Hammelef]

Sorry, cant get the pic you will have to follow the link

[John Miliunas]

OK Dave, I'll try it. (Never done this before, either, so may not work!)

[John Miliunas]

Hey, it worked! Cool!

[Dave Hammelef]

Ok so i am going to put that link in the attach file list and i am going to hit the img button above in vb code

in the window that open I put the link address http://www.legendantiques.net/images/AD3731A2_2.JPG

OK lets see if any of these work (I think I tried these last night but what the heck)

[Dave Hammelef]

Why does the code (squarebracket IMG]http://www.legendantiques.net/images/ad3731A2_2.JPG[/imgsquarebracket

not work



it just shows the link not the pic

Ok john how did you do that. At least I am now a member

[John Miliunas]

Dave, pretty easy, really. Go to the site with the image and save it locally to your hard drive. Remember where you saved it, then go out here and post your "reply" or new thread. When done, (this is important) "preview" your post. Once that's out of the way, it's NOW time to go to the file attaching. Simply browse out to the location of the pic you saved and attach it. The forum software will then upload it directly from your PC. Done. Try it...You'll like it.

I thought you might have done that. Thats cheating. I have posted images of my pc I was trying of the website. It appears now that it is working if you look at my above post. not sure why but hey I am learning.

OK, this one's not on the topic, but as long as we're at it...What the heck. This should be a shot of my TS w/overarm guard:


So, we'll see if it works.

[John Miliunas]

Well, I'll be dipped! Cool! Thanks for the lead, Dave!

Dave's picture is of a nice dresser but is not a Deco piece. However, ironically the piece just to the left of it appears to be deco-like. Unfortunately we need to see more of it.

I don't have any examples, sorry.
