No, i never considered it, i have the "bird" chest, built in Boston 1690-1710.
Yes, that painted chest above is very striking, i can understand why paint was such a big deal at the start of 18th century. First off people had...
That fragment went for $1000. still cheap i think considering, that $50 was a tease. Does need a TON of restoration though.
Yeah, i dunno what happened to OP, 1 post and gone, gone gone! So the thread just kinda wandered along! I did find another table with those same...
