Buff up on German metalwork of the past. An Emil Lettre silver coffee

was one of many dramatic pre-World War II German designs up for sale
that you can read about in this issue.

Take a look at some painted cupboards from the south. An antique painted
poplar and pine set-back cupboard with punched tin and paneled doors
auctioned for $489 at a North Carolina auction. Painted cupboards and
cabinets made in the rural South a century ago are bargains. They make
great storage pieces and look good in any room of the house. Read more

century, selling their work to middle class families. For more info on
