Is there someone I could send a picture to in order to determine if it might be a Day piece? It was originally covered in brown velvet and is veneered. I tried to have it appraised many years ago and was told they don't know because they haven't seen one like it. Thanks. I have a sofa that was purchased by my grandmother who lived in Pelham, NC.

I will hopefully be able to get back to you soon OR perhaps one of them will be able to comment on the work. Do you know ANYTHING about the provenance of the pieces? Where did you purchase the pieces - what did they say about them? An expert is looking at the photos of the pieces you send.

I live in NJ and wouldn't know who to trust. please email me back if you have the time. I have recently purchased an antique armoire, vanity and desk bedroom set.

Does anyone know who was the third child of Thomas Day the Furniture maker and his wife Aquilla Wilson of Virginia? Over the years, I’ve only located information on two of the children of Thomas Day, his son Thomas Jr. and daughter Mary Ann, but what is the name of the third child? My great great-grandfather Wilson Day born 1832, lived in Stonehouse Township in James City County, Virginia in 1870, he had a son named John Wilson Day, and he had a son named Frank Wilson Day, and he had a son named Daniel Day who was born 1915, in Hampton, Virginia, he was my father. My father was an only child; his first cousin was Paul Day. My name is Sadie Day; I was born 1952 in East Harlem, NY.
