Growing Pains

Growing pains. Sometimes. But growing doesn’t always have to hurt.  And at Redeux we’re growing and loving it!

Since our 6 month anniversary in October, Redeux has been getting busier and busier. Old friends continue to revisit, always finding something new. New customers tell us they are delighted to have found us and appreciate what we do. As a result of all this activity, we have redoubled our efforts to find you the most interesting pieces of American made vintage furniture and art.

Several interesting pieces of furniture and art have been added to our inventory this past week.

First, we have the nice, painted farm table mentioned in our last posting. It has turned legs with a natural oak stain and the freshly painted top is mustard yellow.

Next, is a rustic twig-made side table. It has a very chic arts & crafts look to it and will fit with many decor styles. It is tall enough to accommodate a table reading lamp and a cup of tea!

Rocking Chairs are back in stock! We now have a few ranging from cane seats to sturdy wide-seat models, one with a cushion seat. All are beautiful.

End tables. We now have a beautiful matching pair of mahogany end tables with Sheraton/Hepplewhite style tapered legs.

Decor and art. Our "hidden treasures" have been unveiled and are now on display. We have two sets of retro “holiday glassware”. One recent visitor said one of our sets was similar to one used in the movie, “The Help”.  We also have several nice blue-stripped vintage bowls that would make great accent pieces.  

Our ever popular collection of vintage paperweights has been replenished with some really interesting pieces now available. 

This past weekend we participated in the Bridgeport Art Trail program which featured area galleries and other art venues. The collection here at Redeux was very well received. Redeux now has a virtual gallery of vintage paintings, pastels prints and photographs, many of them signed. A pair of Arts and Craft period frames, with prints of the George Washington and U.S. Grant families, would make a great addition to a den or library.

To be ready by this weekend is a round, Victorian side/lamp table that has slightly curved graceful legs with rattan overlay. This is the first time I have been able to acquire such a piece. It is made of oak and I have applied a varnish finish. Very nice!

The Redeux spa workshop continues working in high gear, and newly finished pieces come upstairs every few days.

Remember, Redeux is now open on Sundays from 12:00 until 5:00 P.M. for your convenience.

I look forward to seeing you again, soon.
