Stubby Finds a Home
Stubby Finds a Home
Stubby Finds a HomeAre there any independent film producers out there? I have a new movie title for you to produce, "Stubby Finds a Home". Probably more of a Disney flick than a Tom Cruise action flick. The new owner of the cut-down Rococo table that I profiled on Rare Victorian while it was up for sale wrote to share a picture of the table's new home. Charles had to say this about the table:
The church-basement-piano-color finish is gone, Stubby has a fresh coating of shellac, and he's settled down to a life of domestic bliss.
So Stubby is all cleaned up and has a new abode with Rococo and Ren Revi friends. Note the Belter book on top of Stubby. I DO feel better that although Stubby is cut-down, he has not found himself in a landfill somewhere. Maybe some day he can get some prosthetic legs. Thanks, Charles, for the update.

I would to open up a dialog about these opinions. However, KUDOS to you guys on Rare Victorian for following this story on Stubby! May He finally rest in piece.......Steve Sika, Dunedin, Florida

No Reserve - Signed Alexander Roux Bed

You don't come across a signed, Rosewood Alexander Roux bed for $2k that often (current price with no reserve). It's not an overly grandiose bed in size or sophistication of design, but the carvings are exceptionally wel
