My new to me 1940s buffet

You know that you have waited too long to blog, when you cannot for the life of you remember how to post an image.  Gah!  Well…it’s way past my bedtime, but I did it.  Here are some decent photos of the buffet I bought this past weekend.  Maia and I were on a hunt for the right art deco chair to go into my living room.   I didn’t find the chair, but holy cow did I happen upon a treasure.  This is a 1940s buffet built by Sligh Furniture Company out of Grand Rapids Michigan.  It’s all tendon and biscuit assembly without an ounce of veneer.  This thing weighs a ton and just about made my wonderful neighbor Libby a widow as her husband, Chris and an uncle moved it into my house.  This was after a thorough scrubbing of pearly white spider sacs that lined the bottom of the cabinet.   I did some research and this particular piece sells for $700 – 1000.  I bought this for $70 at Deseret Industries, the local goodwill chain.   It’s beautiful….check out the art deco detail on the front of the cabinet doors.  It also has one velvet lined drawer for the fancy schmancy silver that I don’t own.  I’m in love, truly.  Still looking for that perfect chair though.
