Heartbroken! Museum thefts historically are "inside jobs". This is so sad. What a loss. ... See MoreSee Less

Paintings by Renoir, Cezanne and Matisse stolen from Italian museum
www.reuters.com
Three paintings by French masters Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Paul Cezanne and Henri Matisse, reportedly worth an estimated $10 million in total, have been stolen from a museum in northern Italy, police said on Monday.My museum experience as a curator and director makes me sad for the museum staff and community. Read the whole story about the Italian museum that was the victim to this art theft. www.reuters.com/lifestyle/paintings-by-renoir-cezanne-matisse-stolen-italian-museum-2026-03-30/ What a tragedy.
It’s always sad when these beautiful works of art are stolen. Hopefully they can be recovered.
You kinda think that it's an inside job when it only takes minutes.
It’s so tragic! And what I cannot understand is the WHY… these are famous paintings, wouldn’t it be difficult to sell them on the market, based on the provenance of each of the pieces?
Very sad when precious things are stolen. I hate to hear of anything being stolen. Many things are special to people ✨️ 💕

By the “curb”. 20th century chair trying to look 19th century. What’s it made of? Ask a friend, @davidhighfield knows 🙂 Guess value in good condition. ... See MoreSee Less
Oak 😆 🤣 😂
You find treasures everywhere. Good for you. 😀❤️
Oak David said...lol
Is it Oak, David's favorite question!
Please visit the “Dolphin House” and see how it was built by hand by things that ere found on the island!! Love the history there!!!
LOL, Oak, of course!
Oak! All day long!
You find treasure anywhere you go!
I can hear him asking if it's oak! 🤣🤣🤣
Oak!
I cannot see the value. Looks like a chair from the late 70's or early 80's in very poor highly damaged condition.
I worked in a furniture repair shop for 10 years, and people would pay $375 for a repair on the break like that. Not to mention, can the upholstery be saved?
The backs broke, $25.00
Maple?
Oak... as is 50.00 if repaired 125.00
$75 in good condition
Oak and $40
$50. Would look great with new fabric!
65
$250
50 cents since it's broken
Must be oak!
Herculon fabric
Mass produced junk, the Oak wood is good for burning.
250$
