Flea Market Finds With The Kovels : Episode FMF-107 -- More Projects »
If you enjoy antiques from Asia, then you'll love the 200-year-old bed host Terry Kovel finds at the Renninger's show in Mt. Dora, Fla. It's all handcarved with symbols of family, fertility and good luck. More Chinese antiques up for grabs include an exquisite handcarved scepter, ornate woodcarvings, and a Buddhist monk carved from solid mahogany.
