Other things
« on: September 22, 2012, 09:25:10 pm »
My mom got some BEAUTIFUL pieces I would like to share.

My aunt referred to this as the "Pettycoat Mirror". Pls excuse the mess in the mirror... we are still cleaning things out and boxing it up.




China cabinet








Trunk






Gate leg table




Oil Lamp, The globe broke on the car ride home, my mom was devastated. It was gorgeously hand painted....





My uncles Grandmother painted these:







Wardrobe





These pictures where horrible, and I'm sorry for that.

Yes i love those pieces as well.... my aunt was a great lady and lived a short but fullfilling life. She was an avid reader and could talk about anything to anyone.... a great story teller. She had a good eye for beautiful things. Her house was amazing, there is so much more that i don't have pics to. (things others got) her house was filled! Banquet table, free standing bar, leather top tables, marble tables, wrought iron lawn furniture, the most ornate silverware, letters from 1900-1950s. stamps, and soo much more!

Wow your very lucky to have such an interesting Aunt! My grandmothers sisters were like that. There only one still living. She's 92 and lives in Santa Barbra. She's a physchiatrist. She just lost her husband. I hear her house is amazing. These are things you never part with, but I would have someone look at the china cabinet for insurance purposes.

Beautiful pieces!! Can the globe for the lamp be repaired?? If not take photos of it in case you want to search for a replacement globe (very hard to find and could take years)

Could you get a better picture of the globe lamp? Just a little brighter.

Like Wendy said, an original shade for the lamp will be hard to find.

But you can probably find a repo-replacement shade on the Internet, suh as this site:

http://www.antiquelampsupply.com/category/143_glass-lamp-shades-by-style

If you still have any pieces of that shade post a picture of it.
