I've been acting the fool lately, spending money I can't afford on things I don't need. The common sense solution to that is Stop Doing It! But...
Gives you something to look for, though.
The desk is what I would think of as Biedermeier.
Send a photo to the Tate. I think it represents a bird in flight. Moore did a number of birds, though I very, very much doubt that this is his....
This has a Hollywood Regency look to me. If so, late '50s, early '60s?
I have no idea, but I quite like it. Someone heavily influenced by Miro. It does have a totally mid-century feel. I'll bet that little bit by...
