Generally speaking, this means that the bed will have a country adjective in front of it, such as Italian or Swiss. It might have the time period which could denote a country of origin, such as Victorian which might refer to the era or Victorian England.antique furniture melbournehttp://www.investantiques.com.au/default.aspxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7222812940463973440.post-38471479990665411912009-08-03T13:55:56.192-07:002009-08-03T13:55:56.192-07:00Thanks Vickie!

But then I reminded him how cheap I am and he realized you wrote it yourself.<br /><br />I'll try and do more posts going forward but, alas, my main job is selling and restoring antiques as well as doing custom work for the trade. Luckily, I love doing that as well so it's all good.<br /><br />BuzzAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049237488542387736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7222812940463973440.post-21385531354844671982009-08-02T19:26:34.119-07:002009-08-02T19:26:34.119-07:00OMG!!!

For 2 hours I have been glued to my computer screen reading post after post! (I know, I know, I need to get a life!) My husband thinks I have lost my mind! Maybe....but more closely, my HEART! What amazing stuff! My only complaint: You aren't blogging NEARLY often enough!!! Maybe because you DO have a life! But, whatever the case, I can't wait for your next "offering". I think you are brilliant!Vickie H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13251792725792438123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7222812940463973440.post-31508154797888072702009-07-10T10:03:33.872-07:002009-07-10T10:03:33.872-07:00Thanks for the nice comments!

I would have to say that "tester" as in "test" is the more correct pronunciation, as opposed to "tees" ter. Regional pronunciations of esoteric antique terminology do differ, but I'd go with the most commonly pronounced version, in this case "TEST stir." Hope that helps!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01049237488542387736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7222812940463973440.post-24806497957488118072009-07-09T19:54:04.176-07:002009-07-09T19:54:04.176-07:00Just had to add, I've gone back through your o...Just had to add, I've gone back through your older post--and I can't stop laughing!

Fascinating. <br /><br />In the South, we hear "tester" pronounced "tea-stir", What's the verdict? tea-stir or test-ter? <br /><br />Great blog.GrannySmithGreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02151967959608607782noreply@blogger.com
