Knoxville buying trip

I rode to Knoxville to see what was on the floor at a really good antique estate buying business.  I normally don't travel that far ( almost four hours) but they had an 1840's tole painted two-drawer stand that was so outstanding I had to see it in person.  Sitting next to it was an 1830's Tennessee cherry table with a dough board top. I bought them both, along with a Drexel 1920's mahogany low boy.  On the way home I stopped in Sweetwater, an antiques town just off the interstate north of Chattanooga, and was able to cram a few smalls in.  I took the low boy to the shop and kept the other two pieces for my house.
