regret
I'm probably projecting but I feel quite a bit of regret seeping from that article. I really admire her ability to "let go" but I can't imagine getting rid of something that held so much personal meaning.
Edit: I'm sure many of the dealers on the forum see this every day - it's part of life and objects have to move on eventually. I'm curious, have any of you ever talked someone out of selling something?

Thanks for posting... Here...
Thanks for posting... Here is one reference to it on wrights website. They subsequently sold a similar table with different provenance though so not sure if it is the one from the story.
