If I was prone to swooning and sighing over homewares, this is one piece definitely worthy of that behaviour. Fortunately I'm not the sighing type - I usually just stroke furniture, buy it, paint it and sell it.
This is a beautiful cabinet with four dovetailed drawers and a handy cupboard. I was extremely tempted to keep this for myself. It looks fantastic in my bedroom and I would love it also in a big bathroom to store some towels and linens. However my attitude is to sell and pass on the goodness -I'll just enjoy it while I mind it for a while.
The patina on this piece is beautiful - it is aged to perfection. I love all the details, the carvings, the handles and its practicality.
I took the photos last night as the light was fading in my bedroom so sorry they aren't the best but I think this piece of furniture will stand up for itself poor quality photos regardless. I should have set up my tripod but I was too excited and in a hurry to start snapping away.
She's beautiful, don't you think?
It sold really quickly last night. Off to its new home on Friday. Just as I sold it, Phil walked in and said WOW, it's beautiful. Why aren't you keeping it?
damn...
oh well, I'll just admire it till Friday.

It is very beautiful. I am looking for one like this up my way in Queensland - they are so practical and a real statement piece whilst also being very "homely". Thanks for showing it. :-)
ReplyDeleteStunning. I can see why you wanted to keep it. The lucky buyer!

ReplyDeleteHi Fiona. that cabinet is beautiful. I have never seen anything like that one. Everything about it is so pretty, the lovely legs and knobs, the carvings are so intricate and the bottom carvings so unusual.Fiona I was looking at one of your earlier entries and you mentioned you were going to do a tutorial on white washing. did you ever do it and if you did do you know where it is as I haven't come across it yet. Thanks as usual

ReplyDeleteStunning but I wouldn't expect otherwise from you.-love dee x
ReplyDeleteIt is completely gorgeous Fiona, and while I'm not prone to swooning either I will give this one a sigh. One day I will come across something like this one.
