Victorian Style Game
« on: February 09, 2017, 01:23:00 pm »
Once again things seems slow around here, so how about a party game for antiquers?

If you look carefully in the photo, you'll see 3 mirrors. For a karma point, identify the year that each was made, left to right.  Here are your choices:

1) 1858
2) 1901
3) 1879
4) 1885

For another karma point, identify the furniture maker, left to right. Here are you choices:

1) Berkey & Gay, Grand Rapids
2) Meeks, New York & New Orleans
3) Statfeld & Wolf, Chicago
4) Herter Brothers, New York

For a karma point grand slam, identify the styles, left to right. Your choices:

1) Rococo Revival
2) Renaissance Revival
3) Moorish
4) Eastlake

You did well, especially since Victorian isn't your thang. I'll hold off with all the right answers until some others have tried their hand.

Not that anybody cares at this point, but the lone game participant, Jacon, did well, sweeping 2 of 3 categories, namely the dates and styles. So 2 karma points to him! The makers were 1) Statfeld & Wolf, 2) Berkey & Gay, 3) Meeks.

I think the reason why i was the only player is, it was to complicated for a single browser to pick choices in the categories, i had 2 browsers going, one to look at choices and the other to look at the furniture options. Obviously, this ain't a 2 browser forum! hells bells, Mart is BARELY online!

Yeah, he's pretty smart for an 18th century furniture guy. ;)

I'll do another "contest" one of these days.
