[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 2034325, member: 5066"]Yeah, I hear you but, it happens ALL the time. They are generalists, they know a little about a lot of objects but their primary function is selling. It's why they have so many disclaimers on their terms of sale which absolves them from any liability. And, a New Orleans auction, not exactly a hotbed for early furniture. On the other hand, if the piece had been Victorian, I am betting they would be MUCH closer in description as victorian sells well in that area and they handle a lot of it. They simply did not know what it was so, they fudged it!:confused::eek::sorry:[/QUOTE]
