Art Deco Blue Drawer



What gets me most about this blue drawer is not how fabulous it is. It is fabulous.

What gets me is trying to imagine what the dresser it came from must have looked like. Did the rest of the piece die a horrible furniture-y death? Did it get ruined in a basement flood of sewage or neglected by a college student [boola boola!] who didn't appreciate its beauty?

It should be illegal, furniture mutilation.

oh that makes me so sad. i think you must be right. can you tell whether it always had the metal sides and bottom? i've never seen one like that. way cool.

If the metal sides and bottom are original, I'm guessing it was in a fridge somewhere. . .

oh, roadchick -- I think you may be on to something! can you imagine the coolness [pun intended] of a fridge with this inside it? I'd never close the door!
