Queen of Consoles- Sold

SOLD
I'm always amazed at how a Queen Ann console can take on so much personality with the right shade of paint.  This lady is painted a slightly distressed off white with a vintage wax finish. the carved shell is an added ornament.  She is happy to hold court behind your sofa or in your hallway.  Perhaps as a writing desk? Measurements to follow.

From Provence-Sold

My friend Mary Angela just returned from closing her summer house in France for the Fall and she brought me these two adorable chairs. They are country french in style, have their original rush seat and are painted that grey/beige that makes everything look so sophisticated. Okay,  I really can't confirm that these came from France but I do have a friend named Mary Angela. They will be resting comfortably in the Estrella showroom until they find a new home.

In Stereo

This fabulous piece was once a Magnavox stereo cabinet. Yes much like that your grandparents had. I'm sure it played many Nat King Cole Holiday tunes in its time.  The stereo components have been removed.  The solid wood body was given a hand painted finish to compliment it's French provincial styling.  All 3 doors are functional with one shelf behind each one. The middle door is paneled with a mirror to give it that extra glamorous touch.     43.5W x 33H x 18D.
