I dont know bigwull,
I took a peek at a new Antique store that opened up in our town today, and I'd have to say, majority of the furniture pieces were painted.
Could this be the new thing? They had some hefty prices!
I was a little discouraged. Only because I couldn't tell if they were antiques[?], or pieces made to look like antiques..
What comes to me is the kind of stuff thats discovered in a barn, basement or attic after 50 some-odd years! Filthy & smelly!
What I saw today, was a AMAzing store [that I would definitely revisit btw..]
But there was nothing there that fit my definition of 'Antique'.
...wondering if I'm in the wrong business now...
