<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 318915, member: 5066&quot;]It gets worse, A LOT WORSE! For instance, next week starts the</p><p>AMERICANA WEEK in NEW YORK CITY, it&#039;s the biggest event of the year for all things americana and everybody who is anybody in american antiques is there. Furniture, silver, metal, textiles, pottery, fine art, bla bla bla will all be there at shows &amp; auctions.</p><p>The star of the auctions so far as american furniture goes will be a wainscot chair. Now in england, 17th century wainscot chairs are a dime a dozen (not quite that cheap but cheap) but this wainscot chair is supposed to be 100% american and since there are only 27 american wainscot chairs known, this one has an estimate of 300,000 to 500,000 US dollars. It will not surprise me if this chair hits the one million dollar mark.</p><p>I am not saying this chair is fake, it probably isn&#039;t, i am saying an english example would go for a couple hundred to a couple thousand pounds but, one million bucks? That is a hideous number for a chair.</p><p><a href="http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2018/important-americana-n09805/lot.723.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2018/important-americana-n09805/lot.723.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2018/important-americana-n09805/lot.723.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]106008[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
