Just loaded into Il Etait Une Fois at the Route 11 Antique Mall yesterday. This whimsical console table / dresser would be lovely in a child's bedroom or used as a statement piece in your home. Built in the 1940s, this piece has a hidden secret - the bottom drawer was rebuilt using a WWII shipping crate of a Veteran returning home from the war. $345
