Henredon...vintage Henredon
how you make my heart SING!
Especially when it's FRENCH PROVINCIAL Henredon
so hard to come by...I've only had one other
(and let's face it, we've has a LOT of pieces pass through our hands!)
This was an estate purchase...
we found an old pay stub inside from Bausch and Lomb, circa 1972.
Net for the week? $288.
I gather that was a fair sum in 1972, as Henredon isn't inexpensive!
But enough yapping from me...check out this loveliness
I adore this style...the taller, more tapered legs are very elegant
and remind me of Drexel's Touraine line
(but this has prettier hardware!)
Excuse the unedited, non-glamour shots
("befores" are supposed to look terrible, right?)
Serpentine body
(killer curves on this girl!)
Lately, we've only been finding single nightstands
so we were thrilled this had a pair
Full/Queen headboard w nice carved details to mimic the mirror
Cane is PERFECT
And can you believe they had the tallboy, too?
You KNOW I did a little happy dance when no one was looking!
We are picking up another dresser, nightstand, mirror, and two tallboys tonight...
much to Kenny's surprise because after unloading all this, I received the following text:
"We are officially FULL UP. No more furniture until the shipper comes"
Surely we can fit in a FEW more pieces, right??
