<p>[QUOTE=&quot;quirkygirl, post: 175475, member: 106&quot;]Went to an estate sale this weekend at the home of a former antique dealer.&nbsp; The home was stuffed full with beautiful sterling, fine china and crystal ... a great George Nakashima arm chair ... a breathtaking mahogany campaign desk (shown here in a bad photo from their website - unopened ... the top unfolded to the left and right, creating a large flat leather covered surface where each section lifted once again for more storage underneath the leather covered wood desktop if needed... then a 10 or 12&quot; tall section in back popped up with many small drawers and cubbies.&nbsp; The bottom drawer was fitted to hold the legs and the top drawer was false - when it was pulled out, it caused the central desk section to angle up and be supported by an easel.&nbsp; It was wonderful ... and I suspect that I&#039;ll regret buying it over the next few days. Just wanted to share it with all of you!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.estatesale.com/img/gallery/1481/88251/1473292516_2016_09_07_17_29_42.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>So here&#039;s what I <u>did</u> buy ...</p><p>a folded edge glass plate (I really don&#039;t think this one is from Mexico ... I have others that are questionable), a hen on nest, and a paperweight marked Baccarat. ($3, $4, and $15 ... which was too much for the paperweight, but it was on the first day)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]48608[/ATTACH] </p><p>an interesting and large (but broken) figurine - only $2</p><p>[ATTACH=full]48609[/ATTACH] </p><p>a pudding mold with grape pattern and small pastille burner ($12 and $4)</p><p>[ATTACH=full]48610[/ATTACH] </p><p>yellow glazed pitcher that they threw in for free because I liked it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]48611[/ATTACH] </p><p>some sterling screw back earrings for $5</p><p>[ATTACH=full]48615[/ATTACH] </p><p>This old men&#039;s linen duster/coat ... discolored ... hoping to either lighten or dye darker ... $3</p><p>[ATTACH=full]48620[/ATTACH] </p><p>also picked up an old watering can with a copper rose for $4</p><p><br /></p><p>here&#039;s a ring from the thrift that wasn&#039;t a &#039;steal&#039; but at $55, wasn&#039;t bad for 14Kwg, pearl, and small diamonds - I don&#039;t like yellow metal and this will do while I search for a cool old platinum one.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]48621[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
