AND HERE HE IS--Very Large Heritage Credenza



Finally, this bruiser is ready for sale. The total length of this unusual Heritage credenza that dates to the late 1950s-early 60s is 101" and it is in the style of Renzo Rutilli. To find such large mid-century pieces in good condition is not easy--which is why I expended so much effort to bring this guy to his Sunday Best.
Here are a couple of detail photos


 
 
  

  

The original mottled green lacquer on the case section would have been next to impossible to duplicate--in some lights it reads a yellow-green; in others an Italian green; in a dark room, it reads almost black.

Thanks for being so patient with my trials and tribulations regarding this credenza--hopefully, this will be the last time I learn the lessons of checking the details every single step of the way (*note to self).

All of my charges are surviving-- the alligator (as in gecko) stayed home. I didn't turn off the lights in the salt water fish tank last night because I was afraid of turning off the very imposing looking filter (and I would never recover if I killed Josh's fish and shrimp and clams and anemone, etc.); so I think that the fish will sleep well tonight. Jones and Cole are having a great time and Dao's cats are afraid of Jones so they have not appeared (but are sneaking around to eat)...all is well.

Have a wonderful week......and 4th of July.
