Love those chairs. It amazes me that people will put family items on Ebay or Craigslist. Remember that 1840's rocker with the antimacassar? It was bothering me so much that I emailed the guy and encouraged him to keep it in his family. Told him what a real treasure he had and that I hoped he might consider gifting it to a female niece or cousin interested in family history. I never heard back from him, but the rocker never went up on craigslist again, so I hope it found a good home.
One thing it does point out is how important it is to give careful consideration to who should inherit family things.
Hosman, this couch is so awesome, can't wait to see what you do with it!
