VINTAGE HUTCH/BUFFET

This is a vintage Conant Ball Colonial Reproduction Hutch/Buffet/Cabinet.  A true New England beauty!  Solid gorgeous maple with awesome detail and craftsmanship.  The literature for the furniture, which survived over fifty years, speaks of it's maker as bringing "new elegance and a stately personality to maple colonial reproductions."  I definitely concur.

It is so fun when I find original paperwork and information for the pieces, especially when someone has cared enough to preserve it.   Call me sentimental or corny, but I truly enjoy jumping back in time to the eras from which these items were made and the homes they once occupied.

I refinished the body of this in a luscious silver sage chalk paint.  This color is a heavenly combination of green, blue and silver with not one color dominating the others, but blending together to enhance the subtle shades of each.  I love this color, and previously painted my foyer and stairway with it.

The top of the buffet/cabinet portion I sanded down to bare maple, then applied a two step stain technique to create a gentle rustic tone.  It is slathered in four coats of durable satin finish polyurethane to complement the satin wax finish of the body.  Keeping the original reproduction hardware, I stripped them then painted them a soft glistening satin nickel.  The hues in the nickel draw out the lovely silver tones of the paint.  Light distressing accentuates its fine lines, curves and detail.  It is a fairly neutral scheme that will look absolutely divine in any room with any decor.  As always, I could see this versatile piece being used with books on it in a den, library or bedroom, or as a stunning dining piece with great serving capabilities, or in a living room perfectly displaying and storing whatever you choose.

Just completed and available to grace your place, it separates for easy transporting.
