Vintage cupboard & china cabinet now available



Vacation time is over at Redeux and it’s been back to work in overdrive for the past week.

Our stock has been replenished and despite the weather I have managed to restore several pieces that are now available for you to see.

The cupboard that has been in the shop for a couple of weeks has been repainted a softer yellow and has been fitted with country style wood knobs. It still retains an aged look but has been cleaned up and the color is just right for any décor.



The china cabinet with the half-latticed door is ready. This turned out really nice with the wood graining showing through. I believe the wood is walnut and the piece seems to date from the 1930’s. There is a matching server / buffet that I am hoping to have ready by this coming weekend.

An interesting country dresser is also ready. Painted a red clay color, it is chunky and very solid while sporting some unusual lines and a gracefully curved top drawer area. It’s different and might have several uses other than only as a bedroom dresser.

I have also managed to locate another nice desk, a smaller maple chest, several chairs a bookcase and a small side table. All will be restored ASAP. If you see something that you need soon, let me know and I’ll move it near the top of the “to do” list.


In addition to the above we have quite a nice assortment of goodies to choose from including: the Victorian commode/chest; the Victorian music stand; the blanket chest with art-noveau carving (a great coffee table); the rectangular coffee table; the roll-top and secretary desks and a few more that have arrived in the past few weeks.

Looking forward to seeing you soon!
