This past week has been busy at Redeux Vintage Furniture. Several projects have been completed: two china cabinets have been restored to a beautiful condition, a small side or sofa table has been added to our inventory. The small, square mahogany that I have been working on is completed, as is the older turtle back table with drawer.
Newly arrived is an oak kitchen / dining table. It probably dates from the very early turn of the last century (1895 – 1915). It has some unusual decorations to the lower section, reminiscent of German or Eastern European wood working but most likely was made in Pennsylvania. This table is in need of some cosmetic TLC but is very strong and suitable for various dining uses. An extension leaf is also missing as are the table’s original leg castors. These may be replaced / fabricated if desired. I can recommend an excellent refinisher in the area. Also, this week, a nice round side table with skirting came in. I am working on this presently and will post some photos of the work in progress on the Redeux website http://furnituredeux.com/. Lastly, a nice desk was found. Desks are a very popular item at "The Redeux Garage" this one has a leather inlay top. I will be working on this piece, too, and hope to have it ready by the weekend.
All in all, Redeux has been very busy. Several pieces are gone including the beautiful china cabinet with lattice front and one of my favorite items, the maple Wisconsin Chair Company kitchen table set. Most likely made during the Great Depression, it had not only survived but thrived over the many years. It is surely a good luck piece. It has found a new home with a lovely local family.
Stop by and see all the new items or just to say hello!
