Ohhh Gustav Stickley fake! I'm not surprised. I wouldn't have taken a chance on that. But hey, you racked some points. Now what? Are you gonna try and find another Belle?
The stretchers on the chair were wrong, other than that it would've passed insurance appraisal inspection.
One of the things that made it easier to deal with being taken on this scam is my, "Never fall in love with something 'til it's yours." philosophy. I liked the deal more than the machine itself, so I may or may not go for another Belle Epoque. You can be sure I'll find something interesting to waste my money one!
