Striped Bassett Highboy - SOLD

The finish on this vintage chest of drawers was inspired by a Style House highboy that we refinished about a year ago.  We adore stripes, and we think they jive so nicely on furnishings with clean lines.  This dresser was manufactured mid-century by Bassett Furniture Industries, Inc.  We hand-painted the body with two coats of Benjamin Moore Advance over two coats of BIN primer.  We stripped, stained, and polyed the drawer fronts, and then hand-painted the white stripes.  The contrast in finishes is really beautiful.  All 4 drawers slide well.  This chest measures: 34"W x 18"D x 43"H.  It is on display in our showroom at The Barn at Todd Farm in Rowley.

Plycraft Lounge Chair - SOLD

Phil and I are excited to have met Jess and Andy from Modern Hub.  We will be selling select reupholstered vintage furnishings of theirs in our showroom in Rowley.  These pieces will nicely compliment our furnishings, and will broaden our offerings.  We really appreciate their craftsmanship and taste, and we look forward to working with them more in the future.

 
Modern Hub is named after Boston's nickname "the Hub", where the company is based. Andy and Jess Lubets (a husband and wife team like us) started Modern Hub together after several years of collecting and selling mid-century furniture.  At first they collected to fill their home. Then they collected out of a love for both the design and the hunt. When Jess discovered a talent and love for upholstery, it became something more than just a hobby.  Jess and Andy look for upholstered pieces that are in need of restoration and save them from the dump. Like Blue Lamb, they design and restore their own pieces, and they also work with clients on custom pieces. Here is a link to their website: http://www.modern-hub.com/.
