John asks…
need info on antique chess/game table made in victorian period,inlayed tudor rose,solid walnut carved,eng oak?
I recently found a piece that is simply brilliant and I would like to get a response from the art world. The piece is a Victorian chess/game table roughly 1850-1855. It is a table for two. I was quite astonished by this piece beacuse of the detailing. It is solid walnut carved, inlayed English Oak, with hand carved Tudor Roses inlayed throughout the table and legs. The legs are four joined at the bottom with a nice center piece in the middle. Would like to receive as much information on this piece as possible.

Ling answers:
Suggest you take it to a reputable antique dealer for analysis and value.

James asks…
how can i find this jewellery designer?
I've heard about a man (chinaman)? - whose grandfather/great grandfather
used to design jewellery
for the monarchy and aristocracy in England, way back in mid 1800's - those
pieces would now be considered to be georgian
and victorian in style (actually also antique), who has a factory in
Singapore, and is now replicating those very english designs that his
grandfather/great grandfather used to desgin and make and also took copies
of all the designs when he went back to Singapore - or so the story goes.

Ling answers:
Sorry not much idea.

Lizzie asks…
Does Southern Ontario impress a lot of British tourists?
I just came back from driving through Windsor, Dresden, London, Stratford, Shakespeare, Cambridge, Waterloo, Guelph, ONTARIO. What a nice area, TOTALLY underadvertised. These places are beautiful and quaint.
I was REALLY impressed with London and Stratford (Ontario not England). It was strikingly similar to England, with pubs and antique shops, treasures, old book stores, theatre.
You can call Williamsburg, Virginia virtual England. You can call Massachusetts virtual England. You can call parts of the South virtual England.
But of all the footprints of old victorian England in the Americas, the most intellectual replication of English life and culture seems to be what you see out in Southern Ontario.
What do Canadians think about this similarity?

Ling answers:
Imitation is the best form of compliment and when it is done with towns and cities, it is also a long lasting compliment. Parts of Canada, particularly in Ontario and Quebec have complimented our two founding nations very nicely and in a very ongoing way.
