<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 264579, member: 5066"]Glad you liked! Paint was a very big deal back in the day when america left the rather boxy, chunky furniture of the pilgrim era built by joiners & decorated with carving and entered the totally new world of furniture built by cabinetmakers and decorated with paint. The world record for a single painted piece of american furniture goes to, Robert Crosman, a drum maker in Taunton Ma. This 1729 chest went for just shy of 3 million at auction about 10 years ago.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]83078[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]83079[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
