<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 4207746, member: 5170&quot;]Michael, Dwight, and Kevin might not recognize it, but this is an office tour alright.....my home office.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is the place where it all happens, including creating the thread you&#039;re reading now. The table is an old farmhands table that once expanded to 15 feet, but is now just an oak desk ca. 1900. On it there is an unlabeled Bradley &amp; Hubbard lamp ca. 1920; to the left is a sausage marble parlor table ca. 1900 supporting the printer. The chair is Edwardian walnut ca. 1915 and the crock is from Illinois. The big painting is by Anthony Pontius, the works to the left are a custom photo by Noah Doely and a picture of a New York City apartment building constructed ca. 1915.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]335274[/ATTACH]</p><p>Next is a walnut davenport ca. 1870&nbsp; by the Cincinnati, Ohio firm of Holabird, Moore &amp; Marcy. There is an ink stamp to that effect in one of the drawers. Various advertisements from this firm are in the Joseph Downs collection at Winterthur. The firm was noted for it&#039;s office and library furniture. Resting on it is a yellow peg lamp from France ca. 1880, a wooden Pinnochio ca. 1935, an old ink bottle, and a copy of the book &quot;Pinnochio&quot; that has been in the family since the 1930s. The child&#039;s chair is walnut with a mahogany splat, date unknown. The clock is a walnut &quot;rolling pin&quot; regulator ca. 1890.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]335275[/ATTACH]</p><p>Next is a leather loveseat ca. 2005 <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> Above it is a collection of works by Des Moines, Iowa painter Chris Vance. The worktable is attributed to pioneering free African American Thomas Day, from North Carolina and dated ca. 1830. The lamp is an early work by Danish architect and lighting designer Poul Henningsen; the lamp is marked &quot;P H&quot; on the shade and dates to ca. 1920. There are matching leaded glass windows hanging above</p><p>[ATTACH=full]335280[/ATTACH]</p><p>This is a step-back walnut bookcase that has been in the family since before the U.S. Civil War; it dates to ca. 1860.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]335281[/ATTACH]</p><p>Just outside the office is an English walnut purdonium (coal scuttle) ca. 1890. Resting on it is a majolica heron pitcher ca. 1925 and a Czech art glass vase dating to about the same time.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]335282[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Now get to work! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
