Mid-century Franklin Shockey Solid Cherry Vanity and Chair

Description

This Franklin Shockey solid cherry vanity and chair are in excellent condition. According to my parents, who purchased it new in 1960, they made a very limited number of these. They made their purchase from a high-end furniture store in Philadelphia, though I can't recall the name.
