Henry Link was an icon in the furniture industry. He was a traveler and explorer that journeyed from Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa to Gotemba, Japan at the base of Mount Fuji. He had a keen eye for blending unique materials and exotic designs.
One of Lexington Furniture's original founders, he was inducted into the Furniture Hall of Fame for his legacy of innovative design and manufacturing.
In today's market, the Henry Link Bali Hai collection is highly sought after for it's faux bamboo, Hollywood Regency appeal. This weekend, I was lucky enough to score a Bali Hai cabinet with PAGODA shaped top! Did someone say PAGODA???! Oh yes, I said PAGODA. Here lately as you know from my post several weeks ago, pagodas seem to be popping up everywhere in my life. I'm going to take this as a good sign and just go with it. My first inclination is to give the cabinet a proper high gloss paint job and sell but I don't know.....maybe she needs to find a spot in my home for awhile.
Here she is in her original light sage green paint.
Inspirations pics. Which is your favorite look?

Red of course! Where in the world did you find that bad boy?
ReplyDeleteThat's a keeper! Don't sell it! I'm partial to orange although I love the navy, and the black and the white!
ReplyDeleteAn awesome piece! I have a credenza in that style that I painted high gloss black and I love it with the brass hardware. Would love to see yours in orange!

Jealous! I want to be the only one to know of the Lexington/Henry Link furniture. It's so tiresome to have competition : )
ReplyDeleteOkay, you may not believe this but I had a Henry Link set in my childhood bedroom My parents still have the headboards and small chest. My niece has my desk. Not sure if my shelves had a pagoda detail though. Color choices are hard. I love the dark ones!
ReplyDeleteOh the grey with the orange lining is fabulous! Thanks for stopping by my Fall Ankle Boot post today. You do not have chicken legs, you look amazing!!! You could totally rock those boots:)

I love the orange and the white. But really, all are great. I don't think you can go wrong with just about any color because this is such a classic piece. Happy to discover Henry Link, thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteNice score! I'm really partial to kelly green or lime green these days. I know it's been done a thousand times, but I still love the crispness of high gloss green against black or white.
