It was covered with a Light green twilled like velvite had wood trim all around it brown colored wood and had rounded edges on the armed with shell like carvings in the wood armes it was beautiful. My Grandmother kept this room as a show room they had alot of furniture from all over the world, my mother was an only child Barbara and they went on the white line shipping line all the time to Europe.. The story goes that it was either washed up on shore or was bought from an action, so maybe this is wear they got it from if this story is true or it did wash up on shore.So as Paul Harvey would say now you know the rest of the story. !Kieratoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09873610529060119498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8832859209231480725.post-31418176956309289732021-08-17T04:35:05.929-07:002021-08-17T04:35:05.929-07:00I have received a communication from a member of t...I have received a communication from a member of the Clough family who would be interested in knowing more about the telescope.
