Great Canadian Furniture

Provenance: The life history of an antique piece of furniture - the provenance - is as important, for establishing its value, as what you see when you look at it. Sometimes more so.

But no one at the auction, where a fabulous secretaire turned up, was interested in the paperwork that came with it. We put its life story together.
