Party Animals!

Party Animals. Yes, that will be us at Redeux Vintage Furniture this weekend. And you’re invited!

Redeux is celebrating our “first six months anniversary”. And very successful months they have been…thanks to all of our customers, now new friends.

Starting this Friday, 9/30/11, 3:00 ‘til 7:00 P.M. (just in time for all you teachers to stop by after school!) and continuing Saturday 10/1/11, 9:30 – A.M. -5:00 P.M. we’ll be celebrating, enjoying some great refreshments and having free drawings! We’ll be raffling some pieces of art, some of our very special scented candles, and gift certificates for discounts for any in-stock item of your choice! It’s our way of saying to each of our customers and visitors to our shop, "thank you, thank you very much”. 

It will be a fun weekend. You can meet “The Redhead”, meet fellow Redeux fans and enjoy a little knosh!  

You will also be able to see our new pieces ready for Fall. Maybe you’ll even win a gift certificate!

We’ve added so many new items to our inventory these past two weeks or so it feels like a new store. We’ve got several very nice side tables, including some writing tables/desks.

A lovely hall console and mirror would make a striking and practical entry way set.

We’ve found some really wonderful vintage smaller items that will be great accent or conversation pieces, including some made–in-New York, hand painted toleware. Vintage pottery, glassware and some very interesting metal items are also now in the shop. Many of these pieces were made long ago right here in Connecticut.

Our lighting collection has grown. We now have several very interesting table and floor lamps. The painted “Sight Light” floor reading lamp (not yet photographed), made in Deep River, CT 60-70 years ago is the perfect den lamp!

We have also just gotten up on the shop floor an especially nice five-drawer oak chest. A small, pine chest, stained and painted red is really stunning.

There are just so many new and very interesting pieces that you’ll have to come down to the shop this weekend and see them in person.  And have some fun, too!

I’d also like to mention that our building, "Quarterboard Row”, has a new shop opening up this very weekend.

Saks Thrift Avenue is a new funky, eclectic, wonderful clothing and accessory shop. Very different from anything around,it will have a great NYC, SoHo look and feel… at very reasonable prices! Colleen O’Toole will be managing the shop. Her mom, Mary, also owns the Designer Labels shop in Westport. 

Saks Thrift Avenue will open for business this Saturday, October 1^st.  

With Redeux Vintage Furniture, Maureen Buckley’s FrameMaker’s picture framing and art gallery and now Saks Thrift Avenue, plus other great stores, developer Joe Formato is making Quarterboard Row a great shopping destination for everyone.

Looking forward to seeing you all at this weekend's Anniversary Celebration at Redeux: Friday 3:00 til 7:00; Saturday 9:30 til 5:00!

Landstrom Desk arrives at Redeux

Summertime, and the Livin’ was Easy.

Well, summertime is certainly over at Redeux. The Redeux Furniture Spa is working overtime readying some of the nicest and most interesting pieces we have yet had.

Just arrived and ready are a mahogany Landstrom Furniture ,pre-1950, pedestal desk and a charming oak Mission style desk / writing table. We have been trying to keep up with the demand for interesting, quality pieces for your offices and homes and these two pieces are excellently made and beautiful to look at.

 Also new to the shop is a pine chest. Painted a mustard yellow, this is the "real deal". The piece appears to date from the late 1800's and the paint has plenty of age to it so is most likely original. It's a real beauty and is both functional and great as a display. Perfect for a guest room. 

A Victorian spindle rocking chair is also ready for you. This would be a nice addition to a bedroom or a quiet nook where you can read Jane Austin or Edith Wharton and easily imagine yourself back in that era. 

For another step back in time, a folk-painted vintage school chair with iron base will make a great conversation piece or very different occasional seating.

Our lighting selection includes several interesting items, including a 1950’s Eames style floor lamp in bright yellow. It’s on display now in our front window. We also have gotten in two art-deco table lamps.  The pictures of these will be posted on our web site ASAP.

Original paintings, signed prints, lithographs and vintage pottery are also now in. When it comes to art, The Redhead has spotted some rare finds.

Coming up this weekend is a wonderful John Wanamaker round, saber legged side table. This piece is very elegant and graceful. You'll be able to see this piece at Redeux even before it is photographed and the pictures posted.

All in all, Redeux is working at full steam to bring you the best authentic American vintage furniture and art.

Welcome back from vacation. Stop by soon!
