The top of the two-piece base unit is finished in plain cherry. The deck has stunning wrap around doors with a carved picture frame and fancy face veneer panels. The interior space is 46+ inches wide with a sliding back, two adjustable shelves, a removable closet rod and two tray drawers. The bonnet is fully enclosed and finished. A power strip with cable ready coax is conveniently mounted inside the deck unit. The finish is a rich and warm pomegranate shade that has both depth and clarity which allows the natural beauty of the wood graining to shine through. Burnished edges, hand rubbed fronts and machine rubbed tops provide a satiny glow that enriches the Old World feel of this collection.

ART Furniture Old World Collection

The high traditional design of Old World is inspired primarily by classic European styles of antiquity. Clearly influenced by the later Renaissance period, which featured enrichment of ornament and outline, Old World reflects the elaborate details of the French and English translation of this significant architectural movement. Roman design standards like columns and pilasters were applied to furniture as well as a full complement of bases, cornices and pediments.

The veneer is created by artistic use of cathedral cherry and exotic avodire veneers set off by fine herringbone inlay. Sculptural acanthus leaf carvings adorn the canted pilasters of the case pieces, and the case fronts are highlighted by a carved frame molding in a rhythmic Lamb’s tongue motif.
