Desire

Unusual Blonde Oak and Slate-Top Architectural Center Table, the rectangular charcoal slate top raised on a base in the form of a classical temple, the frieze of traditional form with triglyphs and metopes raised on a series of fluted Doric column supports, the base in the form of a stepped floor, h. 33-1/2", w. 62-1/2", d. 30-1/2".

One way I could happily commemorate my second anniversary date for blogging, today, would be to buy myself this stunning table, at auction next week. But then I'd have to stump up USD7,000-10,000 that it is estimated to achieve, which would be wildly extravangant, to say nothing of the shipping from New Orleans to Bangkok. So, unless someone surprises me, a more realistic alternative, will be to make it a virtual gift to myself. Much more practical really, all round.
