Update; the rare John Stuart drawer handle from Connecticuthas been retrieved and attached. And while I was out I swung by one of my haunts in the warehouse district of a large town in western Massachusetts where I picked up a couple of vintage Frederic Weinberg statues from the late 1950’s or early 60’s. The statues are now safe and out in the light where they can be re-discovered and appreciated.
The nightstands need a little touch up but that’s to be expected. The statues are handsome just the way they are. As I look at these new pieces I wonder what type of life did they have? What kind of things sat in the drawers of the nightstands, maybe books, magazines or a flashlight, maybe a copy of the bible?And where did the Frederic Weinberg statues rest? Were they regularly admired?
I wait for their history lesson to be taught via osmosis… Not this time. They will remain a mystery to me.
