GORGEOUS desk!!! And that poker looking thing is creepy as hell! I wonder if the 2 panels in front of the desk open.......

The moth didn't even REGister with me until I saw your comments on it!! HAH!
Love that date book from '56!!!

What a beautiful piece. And then theres that ugly grey thing with the wire next to it. I wonder what that is, or was?

I agree about that being a clock too.....It's just beautiful...

How ODD....I've never seen anything like it. Theceilingis very odd. Looks almost like a heating duct going across.....with the cocoon stuck to it...yuk! And the decay on the wall on the left.....The spiderwebs make me nervous.....

Love the perspective Motts, but I find it a bit disconcerting that the one thing missing is the razor........

LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!! =:-O

LOVE the subtle colors! And the staircase is gorgeous! So is that light and the doors!!

Love this old home!

The two tubes above the fridge look like they end just above it. They look to be electrical conduits. I think the one on the left is a switch....

If thats a toilet chair, its awfully SHALLOW!!!

Yes, the star is a cookie cutter! Looks like the mouse got away.....

nope! I wouldn't even want to SMELL it....and those white balls.....
=: - O

So glad to finally get here to see this new gallery!!! I love old homes!

Certainly two gears. You can see the root, pitch, and outer diameter called out. The O with the cross through it is the diameter symbol.

It's a really old water pitcher. Before people had access to running water, they used these to keep and pour the water. Smaller versions combined with a dish were used for washing the body before showers and baths in the home became available to the general public. Once every week or so they went to a bath house for a more thorough wash.
My grandma has a brass pitcher like that (which she of course uses as a vase, hehe), along with a very old and very large Dutch milk churn (which she also uses as a vase).

Lovely colours. This would make a fantastic wallpaper.

Hello BKW Ontario, how are you ?
The answer to your question is that this kind of furniture is made in a factory and in large numbers, the woodcutting was done by macines.
They were cheap, relative strong, thats why so many survive the time.
When you look on the Dutch site Marktplaats.nl and you type antieke bedden, then you can buy such a bed for 200 Euro's
But in modern standards they are tos small 180 by 130 cm and they are very noisy, cracking souns, and when you are a young married couple it is not very nice for the neighbours.
So , greetings from Leiden in Holland.

This would make a great still life painting...
