"Drexel Furniture Co." Secretary
This beautiful cabinet by the Drexel Furniture Company has somewhat formal, classical detailing such as a pediment with dentil moulding and shell finial as well as Greek key banding on the base. However, the knotty pine wood and the deep sea foam green painted interior give it a nice casual feeling. It is very versatile, and in addition to making a great dining room or den piece, it would be right at home in a large bathroom. 46" l., 15" w., 80" h. American, c.1950 SOLD

Halfred Tygesen Paintings
These three signed paintings by Tygesen all retain their original frames. All three are nicely painted scenes. The landscape is likely in Ontario. The original backings were removed so there is no information about the locations or subjects. Each of the paintings have been removed from their frames and had the glass cleaned and new acid free backings added.
