Maine trip

We’ve just returned from our trip to the Maine coast. In the past, while either vacationing or visiting family, antique browsing was an enjoyable activity. This trip, however, was very different. Other than being with family, finding vintage furniture suitable for our Redeux customers was a priority. Our search took us from the New Hampshire border to Kennebunk and encompassed the area from the coast to about 20 miles inland.

Like here at home, there were tons of antique dealers offering their goods. Yet, finding interesting pieces that fit with our Redeux philosophy of offering good vintage furniture at affordable prices was every bit the challenge it is at home. We came away with a few pieces that we will be offering this week, including a nice chest of drawers made from oak that probably dates from the 1900-1930 era and an unusual oak piece that could be used for a variety of purposes but we thought it would make a very interesting coffee table. Quite a few customers have asked for just such a piece this past 2 weeks or so. Originally it may have been a “slipper case”. It is certainly a conversation piece and is the perfect height and length to sit in front of the sofa. It has a special feature that I’ll show you when you stop by!

Also, this week we will have a number of other new additions: An oak table that may have come from a library, several interesting chairs and a floor lamp. Pictures will be posted soon or sent at your request.

Looking forward to seeing you!
