For 26 years I was blessed with the good fortune of working in United States embassies around the world. One of the nicer attributes of working for The United States abroad was the level of sophistication that was just part of daily life. One entertained. We entertained often -- our American friends, colleagues and friends from other embassies, which could include our own Ambassador or an Ambassador from another country. Therefore, we were expected to maintain a tastefully decorated home with a welcoming environment, appropriate furniture and display items..

The last 14 years abroad were spent in Asia. I met my Filipino husband during this time and as newly weds we enjoyed shopping and furnishing our home. For us it was a collecting quest with furniture and porcelain as the reward.

In 1992 my husband and I returned to South Texas. We have enjoyed using and displaying all our treasures. To be closer to family we reluctantly have decided to sell our home and some of our possessions. This move will entail a downsizing. We will be going from a large home into an apartment in a different state.

The move is not imminent. Our intentions are to have an orderly transition. We know the value of the items being sold. This isn't a must sell by the end of the month situation.

With many items from China, knowing the provenance of the item is imperative. All items offered for sale have been in our possession for at least 22 years. With many of the furniture items, you may even get a story about them: like a buffet being delivered on a bicycle "built for two". These are authentic Asian items, Some of which are no longer available. All Asian items have been authenticated as to approximate age and value by a certified appraiser and we have followed her advice in pricing the items.

Should you have any question regarding the described item, please call me, Mary Beth, at .
