It's a Heritage Henredon and it needs some love. The name Heritage Henerdon doesn't really scream "Vintage Modern" but the table itself does! But of course Henredon does build some quality furniture. It's got good bones...just needs to be cleaned up a bit.
I wasn't shopping for anything like thisat the ReStore. I was actually just
hoping to find some lumber to build some
shelves for my antique mall space at
the Green Shag Antique Mall. That
took a fortuitous turn as you may have
seen yesterday and also netted this little
gem! As soon as I "claimed" this little
side table another shopper started
eyeballing it on our cart and lots of other
stopped short to compliment my score.
It's good to have excellent timing! But,
even though it was a bargain there will
be some time and energy spent on it toget it looking it's best. It will have to wait
for that time and energy as the Modtomic
crew hits the road for Summer Roadtrip
this coming weekend. But it's OK, I've
got all summer for these little projects!
I'm not sure what the purpose of thistable is. Surely there was a more
appropriate purpose but a small receiver
would fit on the lower level and a turntable
would easily fit on top! One could even
put a TV on top and a couple of electronic
items on the lower level; DVD, Blueray,
Atari, Tivo. Anyway, after I get her prettied
up for the dance I will be making this
available. And remember, almost anything
I have available on my craigslist ads can
be had at the Green Shag Antique Mall
if picking it up there would be more
convenient. Just give me at least a day's
notice and I'll drop it off!
Yup, Definetely needs some TLC but I'm sure it will be worth the effort! Heredon surely makes quality furniture and this does have some nice lines.
ReplyDeleteHi A Mod. It won't look nearly as nice as if I could have YOU knock it out, but it'll look better than it does now and it'll still have some age to it lending the table some authenticity...or so I will keep telling myself since I'll never have the patience you have!
DeleteLove your blog!
ReplyDeleteFunny thing is, my fiance and I just picked up two Henredon arm chairs at the Salvation Army this week. I'd never heard of them before as I'm just starting to get into mid century furniture, but I was so impressed with the quality and cleanliness of them, I knew I had to have them. Plus, $10 each? How could I walk away from that?
Hi HG Susie. Intriguing handle ya got there! Probably doesn't mean what first comes (to a guy's) mind. I'm also intrigued with the Henredon arm chairs. What do they look like? You got a link to a pic of them? $10 sounds like a steal!
DeleteI don't have a camera right now, but they're similar in shape to this one listed on this website: http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/8053306
Delete...but with a gold brocade upholstery and no wheels on the front.
And yes, the the handle does mean what it suggests. My love of pin-up is what led me to exploring the world of mid century modern :)
Thanks for inspiring me to add the ReStores to my list of thrift places to check out when I'm on my Retro Roadmap Roadtrips. And speaking of Retro Roadtrips, if you're anywhere near Philly drop us a line!
ReplyDeleteHi Mod Betty. I have to remind myself to drop by the ReStore once in a while! It's not quite as easy to remember as the regular thrifts for some reason.
DeleteI'm gonna try to get off my lazy duff and submit some more stuff for your Retro Roadmap soon!
Wonderful post shared on Henredon table. Thanks for sharing.
