Any Wallace Nutting collectors in the group?
I've had the good fortune to pick up 3 small pieces, but have been unable to find much info on 2 of them. The wall shelf was a catalog item and I've recently (within the last 2 years) seen one for sale on Ebay. I can't find any specific info about the mirror or candle stand.

It may be interesting to note that he would construct one of a kind reproductions as subjects for his very popular photographs and that the only thing I've been able to dig up on the candle stand is a clue in one of his photos titled 'The Whurling Candle Stand' listed as #9214... I've never seen mention of it anywhere else.

Any info on these would be greatly appreciated! :hi:

Here are photos of the pieces including the WN Block Brands (signatures) that are located on the backs or bottoms. I'm throwing in 'The Whurling Candle Stand' photograph that I snagged online...

1. I think we're all so jealous we're incapable of responding. LOL.
I've only run across one item of Nutting furniture and, stupidly, didn't buy it. What's the value of your candle stand? It's beautiful and how neat to have the picture showing it!

3. Oh geeze...
now, I'm really embarrassed. :blush:

I have no clue what the values are... had them for years.

I was thrilled to find a photo of the 'Whurling Candle Stand'. It was a long and tedious search.
Establishing whether they were or weren't standard catalog items would help me approximate a value.
:shrug:

Antiques Roadshow here I come...
