I love this vintage farmhouse table with it's chippy old white paint and weathered charm. It's the sort of piece you'd see in a country decorating magazine or a cottage style coffee table book.


The table is very sturdy and is loaded with tons character from a lifetime of good use.



Overall dimensions are 36 1/4" long by 17 1/2" wide by 28 7/8" tall.


c. early 1940's


SOLD!

Antique wooden medical cabinet or first aid cabinet in old cracked cream colored paint with remnants of old green paint underneath.

It features a glass door with a glass knob and two drawers with porcelain knobs. The cabinet is heavy and very sturdy. There is a strip of wood on one side which is held on with two screws. I believe there may have been another part to this cabinet and that this strip of wood was used to support a shelf that ran between both parts. It can easily be removed.

This is such a wonderfully versatile piece. It would be lovely for displaying collections or used in a kitchen or bathroom as a functional piece.

Overall dimensions are 22" tall by 12" wide by 12" deep.

The inside of the cabinet measures 11 1/2" tall by 10 " wide by 10" deep (front to back).

The inside of the drawers measure 3" tall by 9" wide by 10" deep (front to back).

c. Early 1900s

SOLD!

Pair of vintage bow back chairs in chippy old white paint.

These are the perfect accent for any farmhouse or cottage style decor.

Each chair measures 33 1/2" tall with a seat height of 17 1/2". The seats are 15" wide by 15" deep (front to back).

The chairs are in good solid condition. It appears that one of the chairs has had a leg replaced in the back as well as a couple of base spindles in the front. This seems to have happened long ago, well before they were ever painted, and only adds to the charm of these wonderful cottage chic chairs.

There is some loose paint and there will most likely be a bit of paint loss during shipping. I did clean them and I gave them a coat of clear wax to help minimize further paint loss.

SOLD!

This vintage iron toy doll bed is a fun piece of toy furniture from the 1930s.

It has wonderful patina with old distressed creamy white paint and surface rust. It features the original wooden casters, all complete and in good shape. Included is a new handmade tufted mattress which has been constructed with a foam center wrapped in batting, and covered in a beige ticking. There is also a matching double-sided ticking stripe mat to lay under the mattress.

This would be a great display piece for your vintage doll collection or could be used as a fun pet bed in your shabby and chic cottage.

The bed measures 25" long by 13 1/2" wide. The headboard is 20 1/4" tall and the footboard is 16 1/4" tall.

Beautiful vintage wall mirror with old white paint. Perfect for any room of your country cottage.


I believe it is made from pine and features hand carved details. The old white paint has cracked and peeled with age lending some wonderful character to this great cottage style mirror.



The mirrored glass is a replacement as the original piece was broken when I found it.



The overall dimensions of the frame are 25" tall by 19 3/4" wide, and the mirror portion is

15 1/2" tall by 11 5/8" wide.


c 1930's


SOLD!

This grouping of a vintage wicker table, alarm clock, and floral oil painting was gathered on a recent buying trip. All worked so well together we decided to sell them as a as an instant collection.

The whole collection is loaded with the classic cottage chic patina and the charm that comes only from a lifetime of good use.

The vintage wicker table measures 17 1/2" tall by 14 1/2" wide at the base of the legs and the top is 14 1/2" in diameter. It has old blue paint with the perfect amount of paint loss. Some minor wicker loss at the base of the legs, which only enhances the cottage chic charm. c. early 1900's.

The vintage alarm clock measures 4 1/2" tall by 4 1/4" wide. It is a "Minute Man" alarm clock and the original blue paint is distressed and contains some surface rust. The clock face is blue as well. The clock does not work and is being sold with this collection for decorative purposes only. c. 1950's.

Finally, our favorite part of the collection is the vintage oil painting of beautiful pastel Chrysanthemums also known as "football mums" or "homecoming mums." The painting is done on masonite artist board and probably dates from the 1940's. It is signed "Edm." It measures 8 5/8" wide x 16" tall.

SOLD!
