Palermo Server

An acquaintance of mine, Aaron, is an antiques dealer, and he’s forever on the lookout for older, solid wood case goods with a weathered finish. “People can’t get enough of them,” he tells me. “The chippier the paint, the better.” Such is the demand that authentically old pieces are harder and harder to come by, which is why Aaron was so grateful that I told him about our Wave Chest. Made of solid reclaimed pine, its four cabinet doors have beautiful diamond grids and cremone bolt hardware, an old Italian style of latching and locking a cupboard. The doors were left with their natural wood hue while the body of the server is well-worn ivory. “It’s just the right amount of weathered,” Aaron told me. Imported.
