There are some slight scratches on the surface of this piece.
→ Vintage Brass and Glass Tea Cart/Table
$175 (or best)
This potential conversation piece has no wheels, unfortunately, so it's more of a table than a cart. According to the listing, this piece is knee height. Other tea carts up for grabs can vary in price from around $35 to over $3,000.
← Antique 1927 RCA Radiola 16 Radio Repurposed as a Jewelry Box
$200

→ Rug Warehouse Liquidation Sale
Varies
A Sterling, Virginia rug store called Treasure Rugs is selling all of the stock rugs for discounted prices in its warehouse located at the corner of Nokes Boulevard and Cascade Parkway. These rugs vary from hand-knotted to power-loomed, from wool to silk, and from around $20 to almost $400. According to the listing, the rugs typically sell two to three times more on the business' online and retail stores. For those interested in purchasing more than two rugs, additional discounts are available. Not sure what a "rug expert" is, but the listing reports that one will be available on site.
