yesterday's auction find


yesterday's auction find
Originally uploaded by run lily.
The auction season has started up again. We went to one on Sunday (I bought a 1950s-era quilt for the spare room), and then another yesterday. I now have my oak table, and paid $65 for it. The auctioneer described it as "early," which I think means "that looks some old, doesn't it." The legs are turned solid oak, and the top is made of 5 boards, each 6 inches or so wide. We pulled off a sheet of chipboard that had been nailed to the top, and cleaned it with salt. It's missing its drawers, but I think we can get that taken care of.
