The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 6 September 2017 11 Comments

Not quite big enough for the modern perfumista, but still: "Superb figured walnut perfume cabinet from Barkers of Kensington. This Chiffonier is a stunning piece of furniture in its own right, it is fine quality and veneered in Superbly figured walnut, with classical ormolu figures on the front and Oval inset glass doors. The cabinet was been painted for Barker’s of Kensington department store advertising Perfumes and Colognes, we understand this was done prewar." $4,255.88 at 1stDibs.

    Lemming doesn’t even begin to describe what I feel.

        STOP IT! I would probably sell my children for that. Kidding.

        What I”d really love is a Wooten desk, Not even for perfume, just because.

        Spool cabinets might work for perfume.

            Aren’t they amazing? I guess I need to start a perfume blog. I could borrow the money for start-up capital or whatever it’s called, and buy this.

            Because THE Robin of NST said so, that’s why.

    Both of these are lovely but I find myself seriously considering some of the lovely mid century china cabinets I encounter at estate sales and thrift stores. They are small and their clean lines would pair nicely with just about any style home or furnishings.

    Ha! This is great. A bit pricey for my taste, but hey, it’s an antique.
