Reconstructed Drexel Heritage Chest of Drawers

Posted by Jay Frucci on Sat, December 10, 2011 @ 07: 39 AM

You won't see this very often.  You certainly wouldn't guess that this chest of drawers was made by Drexel Heritage. This piece is one of a kind as the original construction is a 1940s Drexle Mahaongy chest. It was a very common piece and one of Drexel's best sellers in its' day. But it didn't look like this. This chest of drawers was re-built by a furniture hobbiest. The bones

of the piece are of the original circa 1940s piece, but the veneer work is all new. The veneers were constructed by a first generation Italian craftsman who built by hand an inlaid satin starburst on the surface top. He crafted keyhole accents from genuine ivory and designed a hand cut a satin banded inlay that outlines each of the drawers.  The reconstruction process took months of detailed work and the result is a masterpiece. A

masterpiece of craftsmanship and creativity that belongs in a good home to someone who values this refinished, repurposed and reconstructed Drexel Heritage 1940s chest of drawers.

Century Amaretto Country House China Cabinet - Piece of the Week

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, March 25, 2011 @ 09: 48 PM

This week we shine our Furniture Spotlight on two Century Amaretto, Country House China Cabinets with arched tops.  They are positioned separately in the stairway landings in our showroom because that is the only area where we can accommodate the height of these pieces. These Century Cabinets are 94" tall. They would look amazing if you have high ceilings with crown moldings and a enough room in your dining area for both of them!  They have squiggled glass doors, a smoked mirrored back and are distressed throughout to appear as if they are well aged antiques.  Century Furniture's progressive design work succeeded in taking a modern style and combining it with intentional distress marks to produce a piece with character.  The consignor paid $7,500 each for these pieces and we are selling them for $2,900 each.  At Furniture Consignment Gallery, you can purchase these two cabinets for less than the price of one; if you bought them new.  These cabinets are numbers 214-4 and 214-3 in our inventory.
