European dealers cheat Americans on antique furniture
Herbert Cascinsky, a recognized antique woods expert, arrived from Europe and stated it is pathetic the way Americans have been cheated by European dealers. He dismissed claims of authentic Chris Pendale washstands and Chip Pendale sideboards, noted no authentic Queen Anne walnut tables, upholstered furniture pre Crochwellian period, and that grandfather clocks antedating 1679 do not exist. He argued most oak furniture since Queen Elizabeth’s era is fake.
