This week's favorite floor item is a classic beauty from one of our lesser-known suppliers, Sarreid Furniture. Sarreid specializes in highly customized, hand-built reproduction antique furniture pieces. Each item has a unique provenance, whether inspired by classical turn-of-the-century design, or reproduced from old European estates. In some cases, the owners of Sarreid have traveled the world themselves and found these pieces on remote antique shops all the way from France to the Levant.
Rhapsodizing aside, I really love the Five Drawer Chest we have here on the floor at Carolina Rustica. Its got such a vintage appeal, with stately columns, detailed corner carvings and vintage brass hardware. The chest, which seems to be one-of-a-kind piece, is crafted from Solid Walnut Cerejera Crotch Veneer in an Old World Walnut Finish.
One of the things I like most about it is that it can go anywhere in your home...its the perfect piece for a hallway, foyer, bedroom or even as a side table. I would suggest it go in a spot with plenty of indirect light....the better to appreciate the intriguing patterns of the crotch veneer front and sides, which is unique to each chest. If you are a designer, I would imagine you could use this as a unique statement piece in a living area or adjoining hallway or foyer. We only have one of these in stock at $699, regularly $2,000, so it will sell quickly. Call us at 800-205-7819 for details or just visit the product page to order online! It will ship immediately via our white glove delivery service.
