Furniture Spotlight by Furniture Consignment Gallery

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.

We are back with our Furniture Spotlight Deal of the Week episodes after a mini sabbatical. Time spent opening our new Furniture Consignment Store in Newton, MA has taken away from our normally scheduled recording time, but we are glad to be back showcasing furniture.  

This week we shine the spotlight on this Burled Walnut Kittinger Cocktail Table. It is Item number 851-36 in our inventory and we just marked it down to $375.   This is a great deal. Kittinger is exclusive reproduction furniture maker which means their pieces are very well made and very expensive. Furniture enthusiasts thirst over Kittinger and here is an opportunity to own a piece of their collection for not a lot of money. 

The cocktail table is very elegant, it has a bookmarked walnut veneer outlined by a banded mahogany inlay that runs around the edges.
