DECEMBER 23rd Show : Our next viewer has a couple items to evaluate. One of them... a furniture set. The twist on this... the table has had a fire on it with severe damage. The chairs are a mess and not worthy of someone sitting on them. The wine cabinet and buffet are also in a mess.

We will bring the table and a couple of chairs, then some pictures of the rest of the pieces. There is the table, six chairs, wine cabinet and a buffet. This will take some time for restorations... so the follow up piece won't come until sometime end of Feb or in March, I would say.
