Coincidences

Since my apartment is stocked with inherited antiques and I happen to work in an area filled with antique stores, I occasionally have the weird experience of running into my belongings on sale in random places. Like today!

On my way to the bank at lunch I spotted these sconces (excuse me “carved giltwood italian wall brackets”) in the window of a shop down the street. They are identical to a pair I have up in my living room (but mine aren’t gilded). My grandmother always said they were fancy and from Italy…guess she was actually right!

PS – You still have a few days to bid on my antique Japanese matchlock rifle! The auction ends on December 6. Maybe I should go into the antique business!
