What’s a Divvy?

To many it’s an airhead/stupid person etc.

But – if you’ve ever read or watched Lovejoy – Divvy is actually short for DIVINER.

In the Jonathan Gash books, and maybe not in the TV series (?) there’s a book mentioned several times.

Antiques or Fakes by Charles H Hayward

Now Lovejoy is not just a divvy, he’s also a lovable rogue who’s not averse to a bit of furniture fakery himself.

I have the aforementioned book. Very interesting.

It makes me think about how so many will sell their own soul for something that is fake, false and foney.

Is there any real, original antique furniture left? Well. Of course. But not for the likes of you and me.

Oh. I’ve just had a strong need to go back to one of my all time fave places…

…the V & A Museum
