Connie and her throne instructions

Oh dear - forgot to leave time for the site to digest my earlier post! 

I hope it's worth it !!!

My difficulty in posting the pictures was eliminated by changing from Explorer browser to Google Chrome.  Yippee!  The pics are posted.  I hope  you enjoy seeing them.  Definitely similar to the chair Penny uncovered in the news article. Thank you.

WOW. That is quite amazing! I had idly googled throne chairs, but (unlike Penny) hadn't come up with anything exciting. There was a prog on (I think) Channel 4 - the title had something about 'rooms', and people took bizarre items to various antique dealers in the UK who bid on them. There was a woman who had a prestigious shop in Edinburgh who (IMO) would die for your throne. Try and track her down and send her a pic!

Thank you, Fillide, for your help.  Fifteen years ago I never would have dreamed of being able to chat like this with people all around the world to learn about a family heirloom.  Thanks to Italymag my Italian throne information base is expanding.  I keep hoping I can find more about Anti Brothers.  Am thinking the family possibly immigrated from Vicenza.   Thanks again.

"............... There was a prog on (I think) Channel 4 - the title had something about 'rooms' ............" "Four Rooms"

The usual woman on Four Rooms is Celia Sawyer - she goes in for the more unsual things and is a pretty serious dealer.  You can contact her on celia@celiasawyer.com.  You can also "follow" her on Twitter using @celiasawyertv.

Hang on - it might not be Celia Sawyer - it might be the other one - Emma Hawkins - that is more likely to appreciate your throne. Twitter: @emmahawkins4
