Since arriving a week ago I’ve already sold 1/3 of my shipment.
Occasional tables, Wall sconces, glass clocks and lamps, mirrors.
Also selling this magnificent set of dining chairs.
Sold the chestnut farmhouse table to Southern Highlands last week.

I’m strongly considering re colouring the frame, or at least the oak mount, possibly gold touch the plaster frame.
