Before Shabby Chic, there was Antiquing

Antiqued antique, small, serpentine dresser. $195.

I'm not referring to "antiquing" as in shopping for antiques, but rather a refinishing method that did homage to the look of age.

This little 2-drawer dresser is an "antiqued antique"!
It's in very good condition. Dovetail drawer construction. Top drawer is serpentine.

Original brass drawer pulls and wheels.

Here's a closer look at the Persian-style area rug the dresser is sitting on (UPDATE: RUG SOLD):
Like new area rug, 4'4" x 6'5". Persian-style, durable manmade fibers. $48 SOLD
