Reciprocity

I spent an hour helping someone move some furniture yesterday, once again (probably) stretching my van's capacity beyond legal means.  In return I was given a chair.  Can one fall in love in with a item of furniture? Possibly - when one thinks about its history. It's Basque, hand carved and painted: probably a winter project for someone in the days before the internet, TV, possibly even electricity.  And, it fits so well with the existing aesthetic of my flat.  With the columns on the back of the chair it reminds me of  a medieval cloister or the Alhambra.
