China Cabinet
My client's Victorian home inspired her to do her dining room in the Reformed Gothic Style of the late Victorian Gothic Revival. Our collaboration resulted in many pieces of furniture: dining room table, two arm chairs, ten side chairs, sideboard, and this china cabinet. In this piece are found features typical of the set: Marquetry frieze work, gothic tracery, gothic arches, chip carving as found in late Victorian woodwork, and a hint of flying buttresses. The wood is walnut and is finished with a hand rubbed oil finish and wiped glaze to suggest age.

Paula Garbarino Custom Furniture
I seek to make elegant furniture featuring charming marquetry and time-honored craftsmanship. I design and build for clients to suit their practical needs and aesthetic tastes. I have been a woodworker for over 30 years and a furniture maker for over 20. My training was formal and in traditional design and construction of 18th and 19th century styles. I continue to work in those periods but am also pleased to accommodate more contemporary looks. Please visit my website to see my entire portfolio.
