<p>[QUOTE="Pat Dennis, post: 4315664, member: 15280"]I made a casual comment on a used furniture piece. It was not a scholarly post. Sorry, you did not take it that way. Who made any reference to period furniture? Most of the posts on this site are about collectibles and social chat among posters, which I enjoy. BTW: I have an adequate library of books on period furniture, both American and British, and had subscribed to The Magazine Antiques, and Art and Antiques for many years. I lived in Colonial Williamsburg and Northern Virginia. The Smithsonian, which I frequented, has an incredible collection of period pieces. Also, spent 5 days viewing the collections of British period furniture and early English porcelains displayed at the Victoria and Albert in London. And, yes, I'm very familiar with the difference between Colonial Revival, Chippendale, and Chinese Chippendale. IMO: Scholarly posts require scholarly replies.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
