Bygone Bombay

Bygone Bombay. This slender occassional table is sure to evoke thoughts of the parlours found in quaint homes in the West Indies.  The perfect size to serve afternoon tea. Each shelf could surely host delightful compliments and tasty finger sandwiches, brioche, or croissants.  Restoration is in progress so pour yourself a cup of your favorite beverage and join us as we lift layers of years from this beautiful fine wood table.

Lady In Waiting - showing signs of age

With the arrival of Spring, the Antiques are being readied for repurposing. While the evenings and night time temps are still hitting the freezing mark and staining doesn't fare well at those colder temps, sanding and dis-assembly can still be accomplished. Just take a look at the featured item this month - called "Ladies In Waiting" 2 Stylish Entrance Tables.

This is one of a pair of end tables I spied in the far corner of the auction estate sale in Russell, KY. Actually, they were supporting a pile of boxes containing assorted antique door knobs and hardware, most of which were rusted and uninteresting. Upon further investigation, rearranging, and a little dusting off, the beautiful cherry wood peeked through - I knew I'd found "two diamonds in the rough".
