As expected, our hallstands are a priority, but to be very honest, not one of the pieces that we brought to the show got less attention than most of the others. Of course a few were obviously really attractive, such as the large bookcase, the Victorian chest of drawers, the Edwardian music cabinet, and so on.

Although we didn’t want to bring too many pieces, given the only very few hours to load/unload/setup and vice-versa, we did bring quite a few different articles to give a good idea of what we have and can get, and how we can refinish them, personally and without outsourcing the restoration.

Of course that made it a very big effort, and it’ll take a few days before we can be back to the normal set up in the store and therefore to normal business.

We brought Walnut, Mahogany, Rosewood, Victorian, Edwardian, Georgian, even one high quality Art Deco cabinet, and bookcases, display cabinets, chests of drawers (bureaus or bureaux, or dressers), tables, trolleys (carts), writing desks, stools, settees, music cabinets, corner cabinets, mirrors, chiffoniers (sideboards or buffets), and of course, hallstands (hat and coats stands, umbrella and stick stands).
