new piece of furniture: antique needlework table
I’m so excited about this - we were just given this antique needlework/knitting table. It is fantastic.
Isn’t it lovely?! We had dinner with the parents of a friend of ours this past weekend, and his mother just pulled this out of a closet for me to take home when she found out we liked antiques. I couldn’t believe it. It is a great piece - the two half-tubes down each side upen at the top, which would have originally been for yarn or project storage. Then, of course, there are three drawers - and it’s fairly sturdy. Mr. Goldner says he would estimate it at 1910s-1920s. There is a little wear and tear on the top, since Mrs. Goldner told us she had used it as a nightstand for years; but it will be easy to refinish if/when the time comes for that. For now, I love it as-is in our living room. I can’t believe they just passed off such an amazing piece to us - I’m thrilled!

That’s so pretty! It would look great in an entryway of newly purchased home!

How great is that!!! I like it where you put it. You’ll probably have it forever in a zillion different settings over the years.

so pretty. And I agree–you’ll be able to use that table in a million different ways over the years.

my table has been with my family since it was purchased. Most of my family are from NJ and CONN. i am not sure how old it is, but they are very well built. mine is also a dark wood. be careful refinishing your table, it might take away from its value
