An Antique Chair
I am really enjoying my latest inheritance, this antique chair.
It had belonged to my great aunt and then to my grandparents.
Grandpa just passed at age 101 after a long happy, healthy life.
The chair has wonderful details and is in amazing condition.
Even the bottom of the legs have a cutout.
It would be great to have the wood refinished but I also love the look of wear showing its age.
This would be a fun piece to bring to Antique Roadshow!
I hope you have enjoyed viewing this relic of the past. Thank you for stopping by! ~Val
What a beauty this is, Val, and how fortunate you are to have it.
ReplyDeleteThink of all the wonderful memories this chair holds, and each time you see it, it will remind you of your Grandfather.
I agree -- Antiques Roadshow would love that chair!
ReplyDeleteha! I was thinking about those guys on the Antique Roadshow who always tell people 'if only you hadn't tried to clean the wood .... it would be worth more!' it is a lovely chair!
ReplyDeleteits so beautiful wow
ReplyDeleteI am ooohing and aaahing over your chair, sweet friend! It's definitely quite the beauty and you are indeed blessed to have it :)

Love this chair Val! Just thinking, if it could talk, what stories it would tell you! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou are so blessed to receive such a gift as this chair! If it had eyes and ears, think of the stories it could tell. When I look at it I think of a parent or grandparent sitting there with a little one and reading a book. Since it's a family heirloom, I wouldn't refinish it. It's beautiful the way it is, and has obviously been cared for. It's beautiful! And 101 years old! Imagine what he has seen in his lifetime!
ReplyDeletelove this. I love vintage things , and am a great collector.

What a lovely piece of furniture, and that it has a lot of history! I see you have a new haircut, and colour. It suits you very well!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my blog. I'm sorry about the loss of your grandfather.
Sorry about your loss but also I am glad to hear your grandpa loved a long healthy life of 101 yrs! I wish I'd get there. The chair is a gem I'd live it like that!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely piece! I look forward to seeing it on Antiques Roadshow, which I enjoy watching! Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog.
