Measuring and Bargaining
I noticed my aunt and uncle at the antiques barn in Vasterhaninge today. They were interested in this commode. I took a few photos without them seeing me. The guy working at the barn had his hands full here. Kerstin & Ake wanted to know the size of the thing. Their apartment is already filled with things so it's best to know if there's room for more! Then they had the guy disassemble the commode, so that they could have a closer look. The marble top looked kinda heavy. And as he put it all back together again, there were a few problems and I suggested that he would solve that with some power tools, and that made him smile a bit. In a low voice I then pointed out to my aunt that maybe this was Antiques Roadshow material. Kerstin then asked the guy if he had any info about the commode, or perhaps the name of the furniture maker. Which he didn't know. So he had another look and did manage to find a name. It was no one I had ever heard about. Johan Karlsson, or something like that. When I left a few minutes later no purchase had been made...
