The Modern Gothic “Kimbel and Cabus” bedroom suite has been making the rounds for quite a while, though I think this might be its debut with a K+C attribution. Previous offerings at other auction houses have attibuted it to Pottier and Stymus…

This is exactly what we need for the bedroom…I’ll arm wrestle you for it.
Unfortunately, I need to sand the floors, repair the plaster and wallpaper before installation. I am sure you wouldn’t mind using it for a couple of years before I need it! GREAT GIFT IDEA.

If someone already asked santa for the Roux sideboard, I’m putting that Bembe and Kimbal(?) etagere on my list. I have seen 2 of these in person, one at Lise Bohm’s and one at Fontaines auction. They are amazing in person and those rotating side shelves are just lovely. A little out of my price range I’m afraid.

My wife and I always chip in and buy a piece of Victorian furniture or some other Victorian decorative item for Christmas, boy am I a lucky guy, not only is she beautiful but we have the same taste!

I end up buying my own presents every year a la "honey, how about I get this as my Christmas present this year?" seems to work. My Vudu player was one of them for this year.

Hi!
An interesting concept. I think that I would take a Shrenkeisen chair to match the one I own already.
Thanks!
