Victorian-Inspired
Cabinet
This glass-paneled Victorian-style cabinet has dual doors that
open and a removable top that can be used as a serving tray. This
recently refinished cherry wood piece was made in the USA in
the early 1900s and is a fine example of the furniture being made
in this country at that time. This oval cabinet measures 30 inches
high, 30 inches long, 18 inches wide and can be purchased at
the Beach House Gallery at 638 Skinner Boulevard in Dunedin,
(727) 216-6322.
This oval, handcrafted platter is an ideal serving
accessory for seaside-themed dinner parties or
for everyday meals. The octopus design is handpainted
on contemporary Italian stoneware known
for its durability and taste. This platter, along with
matching cups, was imported by Vietri Irresistibly
Italian and is available at Cooks Cottage, 100 Indian
Rocks Road North in Belleair Bluffs, (727) 588-3303.
