Knechtel Three Drawer Dresser


I was lucky enough to happen upon this Knechtel dresser.  When you see anything made by Knechtel you are pretty sure of the quality and workmanship.




The veneer was so damaged on the drawer fronts that it had to be removed.  I sanded the fronts to a smooth finish...I think that the wood under the veneer is cherry



At sometime in the life of this dresser, it had a cat as a room mate.




I always sand prior to painting and sand between coats.  I final coat all my furniture with satin varathane for a smooth finish and that added protection.


The dresser is 40 inches wide, 18 inches deep and 73 inches at the tallest point.


The mirror has etched detailing at the top.  It has a few "age spots" but they only add to the character of this vintage piece.





$200.

I just completed this little vanity.  I am so pleased with it.  I had painted it black but it was just too harsh for such a dainty piece.

This makeup table is 63 inches tall, 40 inches wide and 18 inches deep.  The mirror is in perfect condition with no scratches or bubbles.  The drawers are in very good condition and are 100% wood-no masonite here!

Details are accented with shading.  The original handles are a faux coral.  Don't you just love the bench with the funky fabric?

$275.
