Marble Topped Mahogany Empire Chest of Drawers

Category
American Furniture
Condition
Excellent
Description

To the best of our knowledge, this chest was built around 1850-1890, and spent all of its time within our family, in Washington, D.C. It is all original, and made from matched mahogany veneers throughout. The front of the chest is done with striking "flame" mahogany grain. The drawers consist  of three wide drawers under two smaller frieze drawers. All of the drawers are banded by an egg-and-dart molding. The mirror is mounted with the original wooden screws and washers, in a graceful harp frame. The marble is white, with fine grey veins. 

The piece is in fine original condition, has been well cared for, and has never been refinished or stripped. The wood has a few very light scratches, but these are mainly near the feet. The marble has no significant stains. The mirror is original and has no tarnish, scratches, or chips. All of the drawers work smoothly. Keyholes on the three large drawers are lined with hammered brass.

Dimensions: 41" wide, 19-1/2" deep, 72" high with mirror (40" high without). Main drawers are 33" wide, 6" high. Marble slab is 21" wide, 11 deep, 3/4" thick.

NOTE: We have many more detailed photos of this chest available!

Antique Dining Table & Chairs

Category
Furniture
Condition
Good
Description

This table was purchased in 1968 or 1969 from an antique store in New Jersey or Virginia (I was too young to remember where). It has been in my family ever since. My parents paid $600.00 for it and the antique dealer told them it was an auction item from an Atlanta, Georgia plantation.

Triple Armoire imported from Germany in 1980

Category
Furniture
Condition
Good
Description

Triple armoire for a bedroom. It is the take apart style because of it's huge size. The wood looks like oak, but am not sure. The entire top is one solid piece as is the base. They have grooves cut into them to fit the walls into when reassembling. The center of the closet has two glass doors that open in the middle. That area is the closet, which has a brass closet rod. The side doors are each one solid door that holds shelves. It has brass shelf mountings, but few shelves are included. There is a criss cross pattern in some metal inside the glass. There are brass fittings that a small angular brass piece slides into at the top and bottom of the walls to stabilize the armoire. This piece of furniture is for sale for $200 because I realize it needs a little TLC. Better photos coming soon.

"Small Black Lalique Algues Vase".

Category
Glassware and Crystal
Condition
Mint
Description

The small Lalique Algues vase was a gift and I really don't know anything about. I have seen Algues plates listed on Ebay but have not seen this vase.
It measures 4 3/8" in height, 4 1/2" long and 2 1/8" wide. It is signed Lalique (R) France and there is a small paper attached perhaps with a serial number.
