I agree; the bed would be a tough sell here in CT too in the land of Ikea flatpack afficionados. Even my (sigh) niece wanted it for her 16th...
It might be somebody totally different.

I was thinking undrilled pearls; a lot these were made with pearls originally anyway. Then there are aquamarines, amethysts, peridot, tsavorite...
Nice scores! My big silver score a while back was most of a sterling (simultaneously plain and ugly) flatware service, sold as silverplate....

I think I've heard of Ben Harper...(LOL) Heard the name anyway.
The dug gent has a beard and bears a decided resemblance to Gen. Lee.

I'd have thought early to mid 60s, but I'm no expert. One of these lamps turned up in the local ReStore a few months back. Took it a while to...
Bedarned - now to string them. I know a local dealer who loves getting hold of amber (think Iris Apfel loves amber, but this is a guy) but hates...

I'm still not sure what sort of amber they are (pressed, composite etc) but they float!
Orientalist combined with Victorian ornate jewelry? I could roll with that.
Separate names with a comma.
