My auction picks for today

Some gorgeous stuff being auctioned today at Lawsons. 
God I love that place!

I absolutely love the shapes of all of these pieces and would happily buy any or all of them and paint them white.

This beautiful French cabinet caught my eye immediately. It is screaming out for white paint or even a beautiful French grey. 

lot 1003
 This Jacobean sideboard has beautiful mouldings and I'd either remove the back board or add a moulding to it. 
Great storage. 
You know I love a good sideboard!
lot 1014
 This cute little cabinet is already painted white! It has a very simialr shape to my french armoire.
lot 1162
 And wow how beautiful is this armoire. Be still my beating heart. Even the tassel is beautiful.  Actually I can't quite believe I won't be buying this.

lot 1064
 Gorgeous drawers below. Love the mouldings.
Why do people buy new made in China or Vietman furniture from big shops for a fortune when you can buy vintage furniture that is so well made for a fraction of the price at auction?

lot 1126 

Sweet little bedside table.
lot 1222
 and this stunning desk - It would look so beautiful painted white with the top refinished and left wooden. Look at the beautiful shape of those drawers and feet.

lot 1304
Remember if any items interest you, make your way over to Annandale to Lawson's this morning or you can place an absentee bid, bid online or bid by phone but you need to pre-register.  If you are ever looking for a specific piece let me know and I can keep an eye out for you.

 Can you believe the selection today? Which is your favourite? 

 cheers
Fiona
