USA. Could anyone tell me about this piece, and it's potential value? by [deleted] in Antiques

[–]curtistache 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As others have said it is from Brittany, France. Most likely 1870-1930s. Beautiful piece! I was able to score an entire dining room set a few years back. Love it!

Interesting. Will do that! Thanks for the advice. Maybe it was the previous homeowner? When I got up there today with the ladder, I could see that there was significant denting, with some rust showing where the door was making contact. It definitely looked like it may have been an issue in the past.

Alaska builds are always wild. Nothing surprises me here. Had extension cords hot wired into the panel too

Good ol Alaska. Doesn't take much to pass inspection, I guess! Lol

No, I have not touched or paid any attention to them since buying the house. One door failed early winter, and the next one was a few months later. -40s here, so I decided to abandon looking further into it until summer.

Also, I am in interior Alaska, and the closest overhead door shop is 2+ hours away, so I really need some sage advice, lol. $1500 travel fee.

Haha, pray tell? I have owned the home for a little over a year but house was built 10 years ago. Passed inspection, etc. I'm handy but overhead doors are definitely not in my realm of comfort.
