I have 1 marble top hand carved oval side table.
Looking for someone who might be interested in adding it to their collection.
Hi Mark, I just happened upon this page after searching for some information on a table I found for sale and thought I’d attempt connecting with you. My name is Adam and I live in Los Angeles, and I just thought it would be interesting to find out more about the company and the table! Hope this finds you well, and it would be great to hear back!
Cheers,
Adam
Hi Mark,
George W was my grandmother’s third husband! She outlived all three. I did a bit of genealogy on George W etc. that you can see at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Johnson-56528.
