<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James Conrad, post: 4291769, member: 5066&quot;]This is off thread but related to attribution, a Pilgrim chest that is coming to market next month has an attribution to a rather famous 17th-century shop in Boston.</p><p>It&#039;s at Brunk and, I am starting to be really impressed with this auction house, last month they offered a 19th-century paint-decorated step-back cupboard with many photos of the piece under a black light. VERY IMPRESSIVE to market it that way online.</p><p>Anyway back to the Pilgrim chest, they are looking for big numbers on this chest so they brought in Alan Miller who gave this piece a 7-page report &quot;Accompanied by extensive treatment and condition report from Alan Miller, antiques consultant.&quot;</p><p>Alan is the guy who took down a rather infamous fake pilgrim &quot;Chamber Table&quot; some years ago thru a forensic examination (he took the piece apart, piece by piece).</p><p>If you scroll thru the photos of the piece, Alan&#039;s report is front &amp; center, very clever by Brunk to do this.</p><p><a href="https://brunkauctions.com/lot/rare-and-important-american-pilgrim-century-chest-4085325" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://brunkauctions.com/lot/rare-and-important-american-pilgrim-century-chest-4085325" rel="nofollow">https://brunkauctions.com/lot/rare-and-important-american-pilgrim-century-chest-4085325</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
