<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 459345, member: 5066"]LOL, yes, let us hope. Ruth is ALREADY betting against me on an early table! I got an early philly walnut tea table last year, it had riven oak drawer construction, but i lose much more than i win, that's for sure! I hope this chest went to a museum up there, the way this chest was treated kinda demonstrates the snobbiness in the arts world. It is an important piece i think but as far as the prigs in arts are concerned, DROP DEAD!</p><p><br /></p><p>That's what i was thinking Jeff, i asked Chris about that & no, not paint decorated & stripped as pics would suggest. Chris would know & he examined the chest personally, Christopher Storb is the Dietrich American Foundation Project Conservator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Good guy! he helped me last year when i was hesitating on that riven oak construction on tea table.</p><p>For those interested, Chris writes a blog that i follow</p><p><a href="https://cstorb.wordpress.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://cstorb.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">https://cstorb.wordpress.com/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
