Barrister Bookcase



Once upon a time, before the Internet, paperwork was kept in triplicate.  Perhaps this was in a government office holding secrets, or in a patent office waiting for Edison?  Made out of sleek steel in the USA, this barrister bookcase has the feel of a tidy tank.  The four glass doors allow you to see your books and vignettes, while protecting the contents.  Fireproof, from the great state of Minnesota.

35" x 10 1/2' x 67" high

 

Herman Miller Credenza


Oh, Herman, are you a millworker or a poet?  This solid walnut beauty has incredible lines, six drawers, and a clean profile.  It's the perfect height for a flat-screen television and combination dresser for the bedroom.  Perhaps it could hold court in your office? The bottom drawers were made to house hanging files.

Haywood Wakefield Dresser



What a lovely dresser!  The solid maple has been stripped and refinished to a magically smooth finish, a wonderful make-under for a deserving piece. Come see us, and run your hands along the grain!

A Perfect Black Dining Table



A totally reborn walnut table from westside manufacturing company - this stunner is a "companion" to the earlier post of the pure walnut version.  The table has a lovely ebony luster, and has slightly brassy metal feet and a stretcher in between the legs for stability.  Can be used in a dining setting or as a large desk.  It doesn't come any better than this.

90" x 42" x 30" high

 

Elegant Tambour Door Console



This walnut beauty just came back from the refinisher and looks stunning in person.  The walnut grain has a nice variegated tone - and, as is often the case, when light hits the wood at night, it almost feels like it glows from within.  Ahhh, another reason to embrace age, right?  The three drawers in the middle are complimented by the side cabinets which are revealed when the tambour doors are pulled back.  We love this look, but can't find enough of it out there.  But, at least for today, we have this piece front and center in the window.  Stop by and enjoy our spring-like weather.
