Meet the Characters: Antique Dining Fit For Royalty

Here at Past and Present Home Gallery, we have a wide selection of furniture. You can find vintage dressers next to antique buffets or antique desks next to modern end tables. We have all sorts of character pieces coming and going through our store; but every once in a while we get to host something that has just a bit more character than the rest.

Antique Ornate Dining Set

You can live like royalty with this ornately carved, antique dining set—the chairs even come with a coat of arms. The set was discovered in a third floor storage space in the 1960’s by a young man and his friends. Using rope and tackle they hoisted the table, all six chairs, and the buffet through the window and down to the street. The table and chairs were then used by the man and his family while he kept the buffet safely wrapped and stored in his garage. Now, 50 years later, this set is ready for another home where it can be used and cherished.

Come into Past and Present Home Gallery to see these magnificent pieces in person and discover all of the other characters we have throughout the store like the Vintage Edison Diamond Disc Phonograph or all of the collectibles you can find in the Man Cave. Our store is even open on Labor Day, Monday, September 5, 2016 from 10am until 3pm. We can’t wait to see you at Past and Present Home Gallery, the antique store with character!

This antique seed counter was manufactured by the Duluth Showcase Company, which was founded in 1902 by Peter M. Carlson. The company designed and built store fixtures and ice chests until switching exclusively to ice chests in 1928.

Duluth Evening Herold from 1906. myheritage.com. Retrieved: July 29, 2016.

This counter design was patented on September 30, 1913 and features 8 storage compartments and 12 display compartments.  The storage compartments are a unique construction that combines pressed tin for the sides with wooden fronts and backs. The sheet metal was brought over from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and still has the manufacturer’s stamp. The two bottom storage compartments also slide on built-in casters. The front windowed compartments are less than one inch deep and would have been used to display the various types of grains and seeds available for purchase.

Come and see the magnificent example of Minnesota history in person and discover all three levels of our store that are full with other one-of-a-kind character pieces and that’s why we’re Past and Present Home Gallery, the antique store with character!
