French Provincial Style Heavy Carved Powder Blue Ceruse Bombay Dresser & Mirror

About the Item

Magnificent vintage French Provincial Renaissance style heavy carved Bombay dresser & mirror with 9 drawers & an antiqued powder blue ceruse factory finish with off-white painted hardware & heavily carved details. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that these are vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, no outstanding flaws were found, just general normal signs of use. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Mid-20th Century. NOTE: We also have a matching headboard in a separate listing here if it is still available in case you are interested. “Something old, well, vintage… not new, something exquisite and powder blue!” Yes, it is!! This is an absolutely MARVELOUS French Provincial or Renaissance Style dresser & mirror set bearing a beautiful all-over antiqued powder blue painted factory finish. The fabulous wood grain peeks through the cerused finish on the top surface of the dresser & it is embellished with ceruse off-white heavily carved leaf & floral motifs, details, & hardware. It has 9 drawers… the top center, top left, and middle center drawer have dividers for all your stow-away needs. I mean… Storage for DAYS!!!! And check out the “Bombay” curves on this beauty!!! Who could help but stare at those stunning outward curved sides & lovely carved feet with an outward splay… talk about a fantastic FIGURE!!! WOW!!! To me, this set looks like it jumped right out of a scene from the movie “Beauty & the Beast!!” Incredible!! Wouldn’t it be a wonderful addition to a “princess,” Sleeping Beauty, or Cinderella themed bedroom? We certainly think so!! But options definitely don’t stop there! Although it is absolutely STUNNING as a set for a “princess” themed, French Provencial, or Renaissance style bedroom, the mirror is completely detachable so you can use the “dresser” as a buffet or sideboard in your dining room or as a credenza in your entry way while utilizing the mirror separately in another room if you choose. It would be beautiful over a mantel, in a bathroom vanity, or in a dressing area. And although its style is Renaissance or French Provincial, it would be BEAUTIFUL blended with Italian, Hollywood Regency, and many other styles of décor! Call it a dresser, call it a buffet or sideboard, or call it a credenza BUT whatever you choose to call it, you simply MUST call it YOURS!!!

American of Martinsville Accord Walnut & Cane Dresser & Bachelor’s Chest w/ X’s
By American of Martinsville, Merton Gershun
Located in Topeka, KS
Handsome pair of chests from American of Martinsville and Merton Gershun’s Accord line of furniture with the signature X’s and asymmetric handles. One is the long walnut dresser with three drawers and cane doors and the second is the three-drawer bachelor’s chest. Two separate pieces but butted together make one long marvelous piece. We are pricing them as a set. Both are in wonderful restored condition. However, they are not without signs of age and use having an overall beautiful age patina which includes small nicks, scratches, and imperfections but nothing major. Please see photos, circa mid-20th century. Oh my! If you could ever say X marks the spot for a piece of furniture…you can say it with this pair. Note the metal signature crosses in their tops and their fabulous asymmetric or staggered handles. These gorgeous chests are from the Accord collection produced in the mid-20th century by American of Martinsville and designed by Merton Gershun. One piece is the longer dresser which is comprised of a bank of three drawers next to three doors with cane inserts. One door opens to the left and the other two doors bi-fold open to the right revealing three interior drawers. This dresser alone is wonderful but paired with the matching bachelor’s chest, which has the same bank of three drawers as the dresser, and butted next to the doors, making it one extra long cabinet...

Located in Topeka, KS

Sabota for Century Furniture comprised of an ebony-tone wood frame, burlwood inlays, brass trim & hardware, double doors, and nine drawers total. Beautiful condition, keeping in mind that this is vintage and not new so will have signs of use and wear even if it has been refinished or restored. Specifically, it has been cleaned but has no outstanding flaws that we have detected. Normal wear as you would expect with use & age. Please see photos, zoom in for details, and see long description as they are part of the condition report. We attempt to portray any imperfections. Circa, Late 20th Century.

Or a CRAZY gorgeous credenza for your entry hall or living room. You have DEFINATELY found it! This beauty is part of the original Chin Hua Collection designed by Raymond K. Sobota for Century Furniture in 1975. The entire collection was retired in 1998 after a 23-year successful run. So successful that Century Furniture reissued the collection in 2012.

Playing with Hollywood Regency and Chinoiserie styles, Raymond Sabota designed this piece oh-so-handsomely. It is comprised of a stunning rectangular ebony-toned wood framework featuring beautiful burlwood inlays on the door fronts, 6 drawers, and phenomenal recessed top. It exhibits double doors in the center of the cabinet and three drawers on each side of the double doors all surrounded with beautiful brass trim & displaying magnificent brass hardware. And hidden BEHIND those double doors lies a marvelous secret!! THREE more drawers graduating from narrow at the top to a bit wider at the bottom AND they also have lovely brass pulls in the center of each drawer. That’s NINE drawers total!! Talk about AMPLE storage space for linens, clothes, books, or whatever your stow-away needs are! It is going to be an incredible addition to your bedroom or dressing area if you choose to use it as a dresser but its usage is not limited to that! It will be BEAUTIFUL in your dining room used as a sideboard or buffet, in the family room as a cabinet for games, toys, and art supplies, or in an entry utilized as a credenza hosting a lovely sculpture or artwork on top and endless options below. Whatever its use, it bears an EXQUISITE and timeless style you are sure to love for years to come! Raymond Karl Sobota (1914-2010) is an award-winning American furniture designer. He attended and obtained his degree in design from Kendall College of Art and Design in his native home of Grand Rapids, Michigan. After graduating in 1946 Sobota apprenticed with his namesake and uncle, a furniture designer as well, Karl Schmidt, who designed for Berkey and Gay Furniture Company. He apprenticed for seven years leading to his designing for Grand Rapids Bookcase and Chair Co., the Mt. Airy Furniture Co., Hekman Furniture and finally Century Furniture for whom he designed from 1952 until 1995. He designed all the company’s wood furniture during that time in total, over 150 collections. The most notable being Citation, Chin Hua, Claridge, and the Henry Ford Museum and the British National Trust collections. Sobota is credited for helping make Century Furniture the industry leader it is today. Century Furniture Company, one of the world’s largest privately owned upper-end residential furniture manufacturers, was founded in 1947 by Harley Ferguson Shuford, Sr. When first formed Century Furniture was a selling agent for local upholstery lines. But as soon as a year later Shuford had built a case goods plant in Hickory, North Carolina and that started it all. Harley Shuford along with his siblings and children acquired company after company expanding into upholstered furniture, chair manufacturing, and even a leather division. Century has made it through feast and famine in the furniture business and today retains their long-standing role as a leading force in the American home furnishings market.
