    Thank you for always featuring an antique I love to learn about. Here at the horse farm, or in our home in the Cotswolds in England I love to display a variety of antiques. Yours are amongst my favorites. You have a discerning eye, and a lovely way of explaining things. Merci beaucoup. Gratefully yours, Dorinne Von Trobel-Gravestein
