    like i'm going to take no for an answer lol i own the oldest most beautiful painted chair in the world , and i have seen a lot of them now hehe , and he wants to claim his dad couldn't have done it , opinion are changeable with proper testing from his people and i'm willing to pay , i will write him another letter asking him to take a second look at it for sure get his people to test it then if they say no at least i can end this.
    I won't be happy until i have absolute proof this was not painted by him , It just doesn't make any sense that someone in canada , so long ago could have painted this and yet there are no others . it had to have left canada at some point and returned at another point and was used as a regular chair until it was painted , it's been around for 100 years and it will last another 100 or more years imo

    i will try to reason with him to get proper testing on it , there is a hair or a paint brush bristle imbedded in the paint at the top of one leg maybe i can have that tested, looks new and beautiful on the front and old broken ,withered, aged from the bottom which i think all Picasso's have that trait dora side by side.jpg chair 13.JPG

    i figure there's no way anyone in the world can authenticate anything from a few pics and a signature (without papers), look at sotheby's ,giving away a di vinci because they thought the signature wasn't right lol he got it for 19 thousand and sold it (after authentication from fingerprints and experts ) that it was in fact a di vinci and it sold for 447 million or so breaking , no smashing picasso's record of 147 million , there's way more to a painting than a signature

    and I bought a 2012 harley davidson the other day off nick for $8,000 , it's a 1200 with a stage 2 transmission and he did some other stuff that makes it a 1800 painted by the fellow (moldy lol) up like an old wwii airplane so now i have two air plane bikes lol , it was moldy's but he defaulted on the loan , one trip to sturgis on it from here to there and back , don't have any pics of it but i will soon, it's been sitting for a while so it needs a battery and some tlc and then i'm selling it because it's way too big for little old me
