Feet First Part I


"The Feet of a Piece of Furniture Will Direct You to the History of the Furniture. Look from the shoes up." - Pam Sexton, Senior Interior Designer at Pickwick Antiques 



This week we are going to have a two part series here on the blog about several different feet that we have on our furniture pieces here at Pickwick Antiques. Today, we are going to take a look at 4 feet.
