Message to seller:

It is normal to include dimensions of furniture pieces at auction. What are the (open) heights, widths, and depths of your two tables ?

Is there any indication -- rough saw cuts, perhaps, or different pads or glides -- to the bottoms of the legs of the lower table, that would suggest that it had been cut down at some point ?

A couple of bedroom photos that caught my eye:

Absolutely, positively NOT from the Zimmerman House (as if anyone here would be fooled by the seller's claims!)

No one but the Zimmermans ever lived in the house. And they preserved everything--even fabric remnants--with one notable exception: the easy chairs built for the main living space. At some point (we believe in the 1960s), those chairs were replaced with the Erwin-Lambeth chairs displayed in the house today. We don't know why the Zimmermans made the switch, nor do we know what became of the original chairs.

Time for a barrage of complaints to eBay.

Anyone who knows anything about Zimmerman knows that the house went to the museum upon Mrs. Zimmerman's death, and no one else ever lived in it.

and anyone with rudimentary math skills knows that Wright stopped touching furniture in April 1959, before the alleged furniture manufacturing date

I sent the URL of this thread to the seller; no response yet. I note that the seller is located in New Hampshire . . .

Going to the bitter end --without a bid, apparently ?
