Our ability to get several pieces ready for your consideration continued these past several days despite the very unpredictable weather. Visitors to Redeux have been very understanding of the need to keep all the furniture inside rather than bring it to the outside display / working area. Thanks!
The small chest with drawers and open storage compartment that arrived last weekend is finished. Possibly dating from the late 1880’s, because of its “pin and cove” dovetailing, this chest has some “distressing” that appears not to have affected the structure. It’s been given a tung oil finish. While probably a bit older than most of our usual pieces, I couldn't help but bring it into the shop to fix up so it could find a new home. Also ready is the “book-page” walnut veneer stand. Next item on my "to do" list is the Wanamaker secretary desk.
Pictures of some of these and other pieces are posted here. The oak mission desk is very nice and would also make a very interesting accent piece. The “slipper case” chest would be a great coffee table and the Keystone table lamp with mica shade will bring color and style into any room in which it is placed.
This coming week Redeux will be receiving some very nice pieces. A few of your “special requests” may be satisfied with some of these, which will include a head and footboard for a full-size bed, chests, dining table and several other goodies. Stop by while I’m giving them a bit of TLC; I could always enjoy an iced tea break to chat!

Don't forget about our "special thank you" offer for active military personnel during this 4th of July weekend. If you know of any area military families needing furniture, please ask them to stop by.
