Mantel Mirror Value?
Ok, my wife hates this mirror. What is it worth? I have no idea. I think it’s original to the house, so that puts it about 1860. It’s huge. Also going to be selling the mantel as well. Intend to replace them with something my wife actually likes, and yes they will be period pieces,…

Intend to replace them with something my wife actually likes, and yes they will be period pieces, she just doesn’t like these (don’t get me started).
“You live in a historic building. Leave it alone. Your passing taste is of no relevance.”
“I don’t believe it is OK to to renovate the house if that means removing original detail”
What??..this from people who say things like “it’s my property, I can do with it as I wish” for much more heinous things? I guess that only relates to tenants, who are merely people, not fussy and ugly “things.”
Old stuff lie this is great if you want to live in a museum-like atmosphere. OP, sell it.
“I don’t believe it is OK to to renovate the house if that means removing original detail. I think people who do that are philistines. If you don’t like the original look of the house, don’t move there”.

Good going Mopar.
I’m loving mopar more by the minute!
And there is a real concern that the pieces will be damaged when removed. Use the pieces she likes somewhere else in the house. I cringe at the idea anyone would remove such beautiful, original detail on a whim.
Yeah, the coal vault was cool, mopar. The ceiling was entirely arched, and the walls and ceiling were natural stone, not brick.
Stonehawk, I bid one container of rice and beans.
LOL, stonehawk. Please join us in the Open Thread. You’ll feel right at home there. >>>>
Mmmm, an old coal vault! I like that.
I’m relatively new to this blog – are we auctioning off someone’s wife and if so, whats the current bid?
mopar, is this something you feel strongly about? 😉
(BTW, just posted in the OT that we missed you last night)
