While it is Wordless Wednesday, I prefer to think of it as almost wordless, because although these images speak for themselves, I cannot refrain from just a bit of banter while I introduce, what I hope will become a weekly post, IFD Focus.
Today's premiere IFD Focus is on case pieces, a furniture classification with roots extending as far back as ancient Egypt. While the materials, artistry, and construction of this integral classification have changed throughout history, its basic function remains the same: Storage. And who doesn’t need more storage?
So without further ado, allow me to present some of the latest case pieces to arrive on our Gallery floor. All multifunctional, all beautifully refinished, all built to stand the test of time by our Greatest Generation and all are testaments to the enduring beauty and functionality of Mid Century Design.
TH Robsjohn Gibbings Cabinet
Classic original Gibbings doorknocker hardware on the doors
and two shelves inside for abundant storage
brown cerused mahogany bow front dresser with 3 deep drawers
The piece is flared and each drawer has an "v" shape. The dresser sits on polished brass conical legs
Continental 12 Drawer Mid Century Dresser/Credenza
Generously proportioned for use in a bedroom or dining room with 12 drawers for ample storage. Each drawer has an incredible handle and backplate, all newly re-plated in nickel. foot sabot detail
Mid Century Walnut Dresser 3 drawers in center with polished nickel hardware are flanked by 3 drawers on each side with self pulls. Dresser sits on a floating base.
Mid Century Modern 4 Door Credenza the perfect piece to go under a flat screen TV. The center opens to reveal a single shelf, perfect for media equipment; the left side has one shelf and the right side has 3 small drawers set upon an open platform
TH Robsjohn Gibbings Credenza
A center cabinet with cast gargoyle heads is flanked by 3 drawer cabinets with coordinating cast hardware. This rare piece sits on a raised platform with mild Asian influence stretchers.
Whatever the function, wherever the room, there is a case piece that will accommodate your needs. The Mid Century Modern genre offers an array of styles that will blend seamlessly in a variety of design formats, affording you authentically unique decor.
I like the metal legs... and is that the proper term for that finish.. cerused?
Looks really unique.
Good wordless wednesday! (although I read it on a Friday...)
