John Widdicomb Hollywood Regency Chest

I have this problem.  I fall in love with these exuberant pieces and picture exactly where and how they could be used to make a room come alive.  Then as I'm driving back to Canada, I usually think....damn, what have I done?  No one will see the possibilities.  Fortunately, I have enough clients who love a broad mix and know just how to make the perfect interior cocktail.  So.....here we have MCM (Mid-century Majestic) at its finest.  This Louis/ French Provincial/ Hollywood Regency style chest by John Widdicomb is a 10 out of 10.  I've never seen better craftsmanship and the condition is near mint.  Hand carved, hand painted, nine drawer chest in an antiqued white finish with embossed and gold paint decoration.  The ornate pulls are patinated bronze and four of the drawers have dividers.  There is a custom glass top.  "Decorating is Fun"  - Dorothy Draper  ...or at least is should be.  69" l., 21" d., 33.5" h.  American, c. 1950's  SOLD
Condition:  Excellent vintage condition with age appropriate wear. 

Drexel 'Consensus' Desk

The consensus is....this is a stunner.  From the Drexel 'Consensus' collection, this simply sophisticated, seventies chic, ash desk has three drawers with a curved center drawer.  The base and pulls are brushed brass.  Note the very handsome ash wood grain on the top.  It's finished on the back, so it can float in a room.  54" w., 30" d. 30.5" h.  American, c. 1970's  SOLD
Condition:  Very good-good vintage condition with a fair bit of patina on the brass and a few minor imperfections to the finish.

Carolina Mirror Co. Mirror

Simple, chic, seventies, brushed brass and polished chrome framed mirror with beveled glass.  A very well made and substantial mirror by the Carolina Mirror Company.    38" h., 25.25" w.  American, c. 1970's  SOLD
Condition:  Very good vintage condition with age appropriate wear.  One faint surface scratch to the brass in the upper left corner.

Our 20/20 Vision

Our holiday windows look forward this year.  We're looking forward to 2020 and a new year, a new decade, and a new chapter.  We just purchased a new old house in our new old town.  We're very happy to let everyone know we're going 'home', and moving back to Port Hope!  For our friends and clients who have been so helpful and supportive while we searched throughout Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia before we realized Port Hope was always where we belonged, thank you for your input, enthusiasm and support.  Once we settle in, I'll be searching for a Port Hope location for the shop.  In the meantime, the Hamilton shop will be open until March.  We'll be posting new hours after the holidays.  Wishing everyone all the best for the holidays and the new year!!
