<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 4212851, member: 5170&quot;]Hey all! Let&#039;s hope you&#039;re not getting tired of all this. The living room is next on the list, but it&#039;s too big to do all at once. Here&#039;s an overall pic, but it doesn&#039;t get everything:[ATTACH=full]335559[/ATTACH]</p><p>So here goes: This first picture has a child&#039;s walnut chair ca. 1920 supporting several books, including 2 volumes of the privately printed history of the noted Chicago architectural firm of Graham Anderson Probst &amp; White, only a couple of hundred printed way back when. There is also a marble-topped plant stand ca. 1900 with a pair of Deco art glass vases purchased by a relative on a trip to Italy in 1924. Above them is a beaded pull from Massachusetts ca. 1850. Amazing work![ATTACH=full]335560[/ATTACH]</p><p>Next is a quarter-sawn 3-door oak bookcase from Kansas City ca. 1915. It supports Welch Gerster, Welch Cary, and Welch Baby Cary rosewood clocks ca 1879 and a lamp signed Raynaud 1926. Above them are three Vanity Fair caricatures ca. 1870 in 1930s frames.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]335561[/ATTACH]</p><p>This is a music stand with marquetry inlay, now a bookstand, attributed to Herter Brothers of New York, ca. 1875.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]335562[/ATTACH]</p><p>Speaking of Herter Brothers, here are a couple of armchairs attributed to them ca. 1870, probably part of a parlor set. The table is a turtle top tilting breakfast table from England also ca. 1870. It supports a slag glass lamp with a light up (&quot;lighthouse&quot;) base ca. 1915- 20. The rug is about 100 years old and uses vegetable dye in the pattern.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]335565[/ATTACH]</p><p>On the right is an Eastlake walnut cylinder desk/bookcase ca. 1890. It&#039;s unusually narrow and fits into just about any corner. To the left is a walnut dog table (look on the stretcher) ca. 1855, made in Cincinnati. It supports a very early unmarked Wilkinson electric lamp ca. 1905, a bride&#039;s basket, and a recent bronze by Mark Hopkins featuring a jaguar in the jungle.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]335569[/ATTACH]</p><p>Lest I overwhelm you, this is the last photo for today. In front of the mantle is a Roseville planter and pedestal ca. 1940s. Planted in it is another cutting of a 200-year old Christmas Cactus. To it&#039;s left, barely visible, is a cast iron dog/nutcracker. Shielding the fireplace is an English fire screen featuring needlepoint and petite point framed in rosewood. Those are horse brasses ca. 1890 to the left of the fireplace marble.</p><p>Hanging over the fireplace is a verdure canvas picture from England in its original frame ca. 1680. Left to right on the mantle is a blue crinkle glass vase from Italy, a rosewood Welch Cary clock ca. 1879, a peg lamp from France ca. 1880, a rose claret jug dated 1911, a Meissen mourning bust ca. 1840, a Campbell&#039;s Kids iron bank ca. 1920, another Meissen bust ca. 1840, a matching rose claret jug, an American peg lamp ca. 1890, and a Seth Thomas mantle clock with rosewood veneer bought in 1880.[ATTACH=full]335573[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
