<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 1845822, member: 5066&quot;]An important chair is going on the sale block tomorrow at Brunk in Asheville NC. A bullet poof provenance that this chair was built in the Phyfe shop in NYC makes this a very important chair.</p><p>A signed bill of lading (BOL) by Duncan himself identifies this chair among 47 boxes of furniture delivered to Millford Plantation SC in 1841.</p><p>Considering that almost all D Phyfe furniture is attributed because being the hard headed Scot he was, he absolutely refused to label or brand his work on the grounds that A. no one could match his skills as a woodworker (which were flawless) and B. no one would dare copy his designs.</p><p>Naturally, Phyfe was dead wrong on BOTH counts! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie45" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/eek.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>Estimate is 7-9K I have a feeling it will go higher</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://brunkauctions.com/lot/historic-millford-d-phyfe-son-carved-armchair-4015295" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://brunkauctions.com/lot/historic-millford-d-phyfe-son-carved-armchair-4015295" rel="nofollow">https://brunkauctions.com/lot/historic-millford-d-phyfe-son-carved-armchair-4015295</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]242672[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]242676[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
