future generations of collectors will seek out these pieces?







Often referred to as Mad Tea Party furniture, these painted
pieces offer a multitude of color schemes and themes.

  2. Very different. It would take a bit of getting used to it. The soft colors are so pretty though.

    1. I think the artists that create pieces like this definitely have a sense of humor. While I probably wouldn't have something so colorful in the house, my grandchildren would really enjoy them.
