I don’t know a lot about this type of furniture, only that I adore it. This piece is quite unusual and I’ve searched online to find something like it, but cannot. I guess it’s for books, but wouldn’t it be fabulous in a luxury master bath for holding towels?
It’s in great shape with a few nicks to the wood, but it’s mostly intact. The dividers are all carved and gorgeous.
The family I bought it from said that they used it for cutlery and napkins when they were entertaining.
As a beside table it would also be fabulous, with lots of room for your books and magazines.
Have you ever seen a table like this? I have emailed Beth at Chinoiserie Chic to see if she has ever seen anything like it. If anyone knows, she will; If I were an idolizing type of person, she would be the one ;) UPDATE: I guess Beth is a busy woman, because I've never heard back from her :(
Gorgeous what a super find. Hugs, Marty

It looks like it's meant to store vinyl records. I'm wondering if it's part of 50's record player cabinet set.
ReplyDeletereally, really good! I would definitely use that to display special books...
