Shelby Boats Of Unusual Stock ' Of American Antiques Such As Is Hard To Find In The South Over on North Morgan street is one of the Urgent and most varied stocks of American antiques in the Southeast. The owner is Mrs. Paul Webb. For several years she has been dealing in antiques and grad ually the stock has grown to such an extent that a new building has bee erected. Mrs. Webb calls it the "Cabin" and it stands to the rear of the old Roberts home which has been repainted and refreshened. A new picket fence has been built around the yard. Scores of prominent people from distant points are drawn to Shelby by Mrs. Webb’s Antique shop. Men and women who make a study of antiques and revel in adding to their collection, come to look over her stock and buy. The approach from the street to the steps of the "big house" Is laid with old mill stones, gathered from here and there. Inside the dwelling, every room Is filled to capacity with a choice collection and Mrs. Webb spends most of her time In their ns soctaUon. A Mr. Alexander is en gaged In repair and reflnlsh an tique furniture which Mrs. Webb eoours the country for. Chippendale, Hepplewhlte and thmcan-Phyfe are the furniture de signs in which she specializes. It is interesting to see the "love-seats" of other days, the handcarved chairs Sofia, corner-cupboards, w tie chests, tavern tables, chests of drawers, etc., and recall to mind the old Southern men and women who made daily use of them. One of Mrs. Webb’s choicest pieces Is a concave chest of drawers, in laid. It merits a place in a museum. Item tbs beautiful old paintings Sid Sheffield silver, bottles and vases of the Staffordshire, England, Pattern Imported to this country In its early days for use In the homes of tbs rich. Only the wealthy could afford such finery. A large stock of mirrors, some Shereton patterns with gold leaf. Picture frames for oil paintings, portraits and prints are to be found in her collection. Then there are hundreds of pieces of glass ware and china that are the envy of those who know genuine anti ques. Especially is Mrs .Webb proud of two beautiful alabaster vases that are carved In most delicate fashion and stand fully two feet high on a chest of drawers. in the early days of this Re public, the people were forced to devise their own conveniences. One of the most unusual pieces Is a wide rocking chair, wide enough to accommodate three people. It was known as a "cradle rocker” and was devised for mother to rock her babe by propelling the cradle ohair with her feet, leaving her hands free to knit and sew. On one end of the rocker seat was built a babe’s cradle. Bare she would de posit her young, while the sat on the othef end of the seat and rock ed herself and her babe.
