*/Brown furniture/* and other 17th to early 19th century items. Our
house is stuffed with it. We love it. The collection started 50 years
ago when we got married in London and had to furnish our house. At the
time it was plenty available in junk shops and antique markets like
Portobello Road in London for next to nothing. It was all we could
afford and we started with a Victorian folding card table, a Cuban
mahogany Regency dining table and dining chairs. Not in pristine
condition but I restored them myself. We also had an old Triumph
Spitfire. We have had a classic car ever since. Even the sound system is
vintage! As it turns out we are the true environmentalists!! If I look
around me the only modern items is the computer, the heating system,
airco, solar panels and the kitchen.
None of our children are even remotely interested in our stuff as they
prefer IKEA or similar rubbish. So when we are gone it is anybodies
guess what happens with our belongings. I could not give a shyte about
it as dead is dead.

I've been thinking of my next Auction Report column for the
Healey Marque and does the term "brown furniture" ring any
bells? "Brown furniture" refers to all the antiques our parents
placed so much value in that nobody cares about anymore. I think
that's where our Healeys are heading. I just hope we all got
enough joy from them that their value as collectors' items isn't
going to concern us anymore. I'd love to hear your thought on
this as I still have to fill up my Auction Reports column in the
