<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 1544232, member: 5066&quot;]Meanwhile, several years ago I got involved with a FAKE chamber table.</p><p>A high end early furniture dealer in new england called me up one Saturday morning SKY HIGH about this chamber table. They were driving home with their prize, giving me all the details as well as asking, &quot;what do you think&quot;?</p><p>Well, it&#039;s very nice i said ( didn&#039;t want to kill the buzz so soon) after viewing photos on auction site but there was something i didn&#039;t quite like about the piece.</p><p>I investigated the piece and by Sunday evening was convinced the piece wasn&#039;t real, the dealer was calling ALL DAY LONG Sunday wanting to know how research was going, i was polite&nbsp; but cautioned that i was finding things that were NOT GOOD!</p><p>By Sunday evening I laid it on them, it ain&#039;t real, i believe it&#039;s fake. BAM! I would know for sure Monday morning when a museum opened that had info i needed to confirm.</p><p>Dealer became VERY ANGRY! said i was &quot;just jealous!&quot; of the find and killing the &quot;high&quot; they were on with their prize..... Oh Boy! this is going well i thought!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie51" alt=":hilarious:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> no good deed ya know? I was researching at their request and, for free!</p><p>Monday came, I called Museum, not only did they confirm but, they had examined piece personally and had an ENTIRE FILE on it! Would you like us to email you the file?</p><p>Contained in the file was an article published in a national antique publication, the piece had been at Christie&#039;s 20 years before and sold for 220K. A forensic exam ( take it apart, piece by piece) was done by a well known authority on early furniture and it was declared FAKE.</p><p>Christie&#039;s returned the 1/4 million, gave the piece back to owner and, that was THAT!</p><p>Until it showed up at a small country auction house in Massachusetts and, i got a call one Sat&nbsp; morning , &quot;Hey James!!! Guess what I FOUND!!!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Fake Chamber Table</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]228448[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
