You are welcome,thanks. I wish I knew but I don't, Who ever he was his wife is on the other side. All I know is it is a pair of American portraits of husband and wife dating from the 1850's in Rococo Revival frames.
@Divine Theatre, Thanks! It will be a big project but I will keep the blog updated on it. @lostpastremembered. Thanks! I wish it was wall to wall ingrain carpet but it is tacky wall-to-wall linoleum in a faux wood pattern. It is so ugly. The original heart pine floors are still there one day I will uncover them.
I'm a antique dealer and Historical Folk artist. I created this blog to document and highlight my artwork along with my day to day life as a Artist, Antique dealer and collector. My favorite two periods in history are France's Ancien Régime, the time of French Queen Marie Antoinette 1770-1789 and the antebellum period of the American South 1830-1860. Both of theses periods ended tragically with war. I intend to explore furniture, architecture, decorative arts, culture, history, fashion and the people that made up these two fascinating periods in time. I recently moved back to my roots of Mobile, Alabama after living away for 17 years. Come and explore the restoration of my turn-of-the century Art's and crafts bungalow into a Antebellum show place.
What a delighftul picture! Thanks for sharing Andrew!

ReplyDeleteAndrew, please let me know when that guest room is ready! Your home is jawdroppingly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous light, Andrew... the colors are remarkable (love that gray!). Do you have antique wall to wall (ingrain)? Lovely.
