[QUOTE="Northern Lights Lodge, post: 1597592, member: 13464"]Thanks Drew! That top is pretty awesome! My Grandmother had lots of Turn of the Century oak Empire - which I never cared for; apparently neither did anyone else in the family, as eventually it was all sold. I always loved Eastlake - but, I married a big guy and dainty Eastlake wasn't going to work for him. One day my eyes were opened to mahogany and walnut Empire - which, I think for the most part, predates oak... and I fell in LOVE! I've spent the last 20 years "rescuing", collecting and replacing most all the furniture in the house with dark wood Empire. With rare exception; I've purchased all my Empire at ridiculously low prices...as apparently, as you said prices are below the designs that preceeded it and came after. I'm definitely an advocate for early Empire; although I know it isn't popular. Maybe that's why I need to be a collector of it? :) Leslie[/QUOTE]
