A new painted piece for Sisters'...an auction piece, not very pretty, but well worthy of the new vision a coat of paint will do...These marginal pieces from the 30's and 40's, were cheap, affordable pieces that were sold out of catalogs and furniture stores thoughout the depression era...they were popular for the middle class people and I don't know about you, but our family always had second hand 'waterfall' furniture.
Beautiful wood veneers graced many of the more expensive pieces, bedroom sets, dining room sets, all from a modern era that replaced high Victorian styles...now you were hip!
However, today the pieces are shunned, unless all decked out in a new coat of paint and black was the perfect choice for this china cabinet and aren't we glad that imperfections make a piece, as we Americans tighten our belts and reuse and repurpose...ahhh, the life of a junk dealer...paradise!
