TWO PIECES OF DINING ROOM COLONIAL REVIVAL FURNITURE.
ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN LATE 1920's-EARLY 1930's, (appraiser).
111th St. or 114 St. Manhattan and First Avenue.
Then moved to Vanderbilt Ave., Brooklyn, NY.
Painstakingly hand crafted, and the original finish.
Breakfront and credenza / buffet.
These pieces were not machine made.
A part of (Italian) immigrant progression after Ellis Island.
Solid Maple, and has never needed any repair.
This is a truly authentic example of American craftsmanship.
I have been told by auctioneers/appraisers that these two pieces are quite assuredly one of a kind,
as production was solely the creation of the individual craftsman.
