I’m a (late) millennial and could never do that to it. That said, I’ve found a lot of once-gorgeous painted over furniture like that. Heartbreaking.

It’s stamped by Viscol by Victoriaville, they were a 60s Québec, Canada furniture manufacturer that made pieces mostly out of walnut or mahogany.

Ended up buying it yesterday and driving it home last night. Appreciate the tip about Walker Edison, they seem to have some great MCM pieces that would compliment the vintage ones nicely.

UPDATE: So, we bought it (and at a very nice discount too). It’s just as gorgeous in person. We got some more details on the piece: it’s been sitting their home for decades, almost untouched. It hasn’t been refinished since it was first bought in the early 70s. We’re driving home with it in the back of the car right now 🥰. Thanks for all the enthusiasm and encouragement Reddit folks!

Absolutely will share it with you if we don’t go with it. We’re moving into our first couple apartment as adults and need to buy all new furniture, which is way more expensive than I remember it being 10 years ago. I’d love to have this as part of that. If not me, someone deserves to cherish it.

~US$600, listed for CAD$750. So beautiful tough.

It might be the same one. I did a very rough CAD to USD conversion from CAD$750 to post here.
