Arts & Crafts Library Table by Imperial Furniture

The Imperial Furniture Company of Grand Rapids began manufacturing furniture at the beginning of the 20th century. Within 25 years they achieved the status of one of the foremost American furniture manufacturers. They boasted in their advertisements that they were The World’s Greatest Table Makers. The tags found on each table were considered an endorsement of the quality of woods used and that it had a genuine waterproof lacquer finish. Today these pieces are old enough to be considered antiques in their own right.

Height: 30", Width: 49 1/2", Depth: 31 3/8"

Golden Oak Bow Front China Cabinet Circa 1900

Premium quarter-sawn oak, carved lion heads atop round columns, massive claw feet, S-curved glass curio sides, 4 shelves with plate grooves, and 5 mirrored back panels. You won't find another in this excellent condition.

Jenny Lind Bed Side Table

A really nice walnut side table with a single hand-cut dovetailed drawer and Jenny Lind style legs and stretcher.

Oak Dresser with Swing Beveled Mirror (Circa 1900)

This is a really fine example of  late 19th century golden oak bedroom furniture. All quarter-sawn oak with 4 serpentine drawers. The heavy beveled mirror frame has applied carving. The drawer pulls have been replaced but are appropriate. I think everything else is original.

 Dresser 35” high, 41” wide and 19” deep at the base.

Set of 4 Oak Spindle Back Chairs

These are early to mid twentieth century oak and oak veneer spindle back chairs. They are solid, clean and ready for use. Only minor veneer separation can be noticed on a couple of the chair seats. This can be fixed but I'm not sure it would be worth the trouble.

Height: 37 1/2"; 18" to seat.

Victorian Eastlake Walnut Rocker Circa 1880

A really great price on this wonderful Victorian Eastlake rocking chair. You may want to have it reupholstered so this rocker is priced with that in mind.

Height: 40"; 20" to seat

Cylinder Roll Desk (Circa 1870)

Made from plain and quarter-sawn oak. It has a pull-out writing surface, 3 full width drawers, 6-compartment pigeon hole gallery with 1 small drawer. The drawer hardware is reproduction and the bottom drawer is fitted with a plywood bottom. I think everything else is original.

Height: 47", Width: 36 1/4", Depth: 22"

Eastlake Victorian Tall Chest with Swing Mirror

By the American Furniture Company Circa 1900

You’re just not going to find another tall chest like this in such good condition. This is an excellent example by the American Furniture Company. Top of the quality food chain then and now.

Made entirely from rich quarter-sawn oak this chest sports a fine French beveled mirror, two small serpentine drawers atop four full-size graduated serpentine drawers with original wood pulls. All of this is supported by a pair of carved claw-and-ball feet. It has been professionally cleaned and a fresh coat of paste wax applied to bring out the original dark mission oak finish. Quit refreshing in contrast to the ever popular and lighter golden oak.

The original American Furniture Company  label is still attached to the back. 

Overall Height: 75 1/2”
Chest Height: 50”,  Width: 36”, Depth: 21”

Walnut Burl Veneered Victorian Sofa

A really clean late Victorian sofa professionally reupholstered with two 13” x 13” matching square throw pillows. The carved / burl veneer frame, fitted with metal casters is truly outstanding. Tough to find this quality at this price.

Height: 35", Width: 81", Depth: 30"

Victorian Eastlake Walnut Dresser Circa 1880

Here's a bargain. I'm not going to tell you that this is the very finest example available in the free world. It's a nice early example of a solid walnut Eastlake dresser with some history. One of the drawers has a plywood bottom. The drawer pulls are appropriate but not original. I've replaced all 5 of the locksets and escutcheons so there are five keys too. The mirror swing hardware is not original. All of the drawers slide freely and are hand-cut dovetail construction. One of the side panels has is cracked along it's long edge but even the finer examples have this problem. Cleaned, waxed and ready to go.

Overall Height: 70"
Chest Height: 33 1/4", Width: 30 1/2", Depth: 18"

Victorian Marble Top Walnut Commode

A really nice example with a removable, overhanging, molded top plash board (9 3/4" high), and candle brackets of cream figured marble. Three graduated full-width drawers with raised burl veneer panels, fruit-carved wooden handles and round wooded escutcheons. Crescent & pin drawer construction, paneled sides, plain skirt and new casters. The white and gray marble top has some minor stains but no cracks.

Overall Height: 40"
Cabinet Height: 30 1/4", Width: 32", Depth: 17 1/2"

Victorian Oak Block Front Desk Circa 1900

You just don’t find these every day. I was lucky to find this wonderful block front desk in such excellent condition. Made from exceptional quarter-sawn oak. I’ve cleaned all the old wax, dirt and grime and applied a fresh coat of good quality paste wax to bring it back to what you see here. All you’ll need to do to keep this piece in top condition is an occasional wipe with a damp cloth and maybe a fresh coat of good quality paste wax each year or two.

Height: 30", Width: 44", Depth: 28"
Main Drawer: 33" wide x 23" deep.
Side Drawers: 8" wide x 23" deep.

Mission Style Library Table with One Drawer

Probably made in the 40’s or 50’s. It has been professionally refinished with a dark mahogany stain and 4 coats of  hand-rubbed shellac. Shellac is a traditional old-world finish but will not hold up to alcohol or standing water.

 30 1/4” high, 42” wide, 26” deep

Early 20th Century Record Display Case

Made from plain and quarter-sawn oak. This is a rare country store display cabinet that I think was used for old 78 records. At least that's the consensus around the wood burning stove. A single drawer at the bottom. Some of the partitions are broken or missing.

Height: 42", Width: 23 1/2", Depth: 16 3/4"

Round Oak Pedestal Extension Table

$550.00

This is a wonderful renovated oak extension table with a highly desirable fluted pedestal and great carved claw feet with casters. 

 Height: 29", Diameter: 42", Extends to 72" with two leaves

Oak Washstand with Tilting Beveled Mirror and Towel Bar (Circa 1900)

Hard to find one better than this turn of the century golden oak washstand. Plain and quarter-sawn oak with  one serpentine drawer, one flat panel drawer and a double-door storage cabinet. The heavy beveled mirror frame has exceptional applied carving. The drawer pulls have been replaced but are appropriate. I suspect this piece has been refinished at some point but all-in-all an original example.

Overall Height: 80"
Cabinet Height: 29", Width: 33", Depth: 16"

Mahogany Empire Splashboard Chest of Drawers Circa 1835
Often referred to as “Gentleman’s Chest”

This is an excellent example of an Empire chest of drawers made in Boston in 1835. See the owners provenance on the underside of the right-top drawer and inside the top full-width drawer.

The makers stamp is on the underside of the top full-width drawer. There, you can see that it was made in Boston.

The wide pine boards used for the drawer bottoms and the back of the chest, the hand-cut dovetails, the right amount of oxidation on the interior parts, the right amount of wear on the drawer runners, the hand-planed boards under the mahogany veneer side panels and crotch veneer drawer fronts, and the original pressed-glass drawer pulls are all clues that this chest is original.

You can see several patches have been made to repair chipped veneer. This is pretty typical on these chests. So far as I can tell, this is the original shellac finish. It has been professionally cleaned and then waxed with a good quality paste wax.

The original splashboard was missing so I made one to compliment the original using solid mahogany and a four piece book-matched mahogany veneer. Stained to match the original, 4 coats of shellac and a hand-rubbed wax finish just like the 1835 original.

Height: 56”. Width: 38 1/2”. Depth: 16” 

The Empire style became popular in America around 1815 and ended about 1840. Mahogany was the preferred wood; walnut was substituted when the more costly wood was not available. Veneer was also common. The splashboard chest of drawers is related to the somewhat earlier Federal dressing table with a splashboard. Earlier examples have Sheraton characteristics, particularly the turned foot, while later chests show the broad surfaces and lines of Empire pieces. Drawer fronts were occasionally veneered in bird’s-eye maple, curly maple, and, as in this excellent example, crotch mahogany. Secondary wood is pine. Typically, pulls were simple turned wooden knobs. This piece has the more desirable faceted pressed glass knobs with brass inlay escutcheons.
