A peek into the past

From the 21st Century turning back the clock to the 19th Century with a visit to the very excellent P4Antiques database via Linebaugh.org. Discovered to no great surprise that the two pieces of furniture handed down to me by my grandparents via my parents - a marble-top commode and a platform rocker - have some value - sentimental to me, perhaps monitarily to my daughter who shall one day inherit them. Her taste leans toward Ikea so they might struggle to find a place in her abode.
