Fresh picks! Maximalism please!
/When your romantic and traditional side kicks in, you choose French provincial. I seriously snagged these to prevent the chalk painters from getting them. They were well taken care of and deserve to not be bastardized with a faux finish. The two marble topped pieces are by Weiman furniture which was an heirloom quality manufacturer from Illinois. Not only did they make exquisite traditional furniture, they eventually went into postmodern design and you will find many of their glam modern designs in the highest markets and in the finest interiors. Take a look at the sofa table. It is long and that slab of Portuguese marble is very heavy.
Dimensions are 60.5” L 19.5 w by 15.5” tall’. That’s a lot of marble! The carved slab sits on the table frame. You’ll need a long sofa to pair this with!
Next and from the same line, ‘Calais’, is a sweet drum table with a matching marble top.
Specs: 26” diameter 23.5” tall
This cutie offers lots of storage and style in one sweet package. Perfect accent in a foyer or living room. Same marble color as the coffee table, Rose Aurora. Look at that lovely pink veining!
Next is a matched pair of end tables featuring open mesh doors. You could add fabric behind the door to close them up and have a different look. I am thinking floral or stripe! Bright colors for that maximalism vibe. They are in excellent condition with only the slightest signs of wear. Marked cherry but no maker. There is a code stamped under them so maybe I can crack it. I will keep searching. These pieces are so romantic and can be intermingled in an eclectic decor.

I grabbed an eclectic array of vintage kitsch at this home I will be processing and adding to my booth and website if you want to snag anything. Come see me in the showroom!
Now, what do I mean by maximalism? Think bold! Dark and moody interiors full of saturated colors creating a dreamscape of eclectic vibes and mixing traditional, modern and vintage in one room. Here’s a few scenes where you could easily mix these pieces in! Find your favorite jewel tones and go for it! I could see that marble in a room of bright pink tones. As you can see in the first pic below, dark wood works and there is no need to paint of whitewash these gorgeous pieces! I will always advocate for keeping things original when condition does not warrant disturbing. It’s being a good steward of vintage. ❤️ Enjoy! XO Malissa
