I really like this machine!!!
I don't know if the lower doors look a little funny.
You don't see these too often.

I have never seen detailed pics of one until that listing. Its a
dream machine for sure!

I don't like it.

Me neither. It might look good if you live in a palace, but in a normal home, it's mutton dressed up as lamb.

You don't like them? Send them all my way. A Vernis Martin machine is the holy grail for me! Jerry Blais

Here is what the vernis looked like in my old Victorian house back
in Indiana.




Wasn't exacly a museum. But is was a nice old house!!!

Beautifully decorated old house and the VM fits right in there. Over the longer term I'd be concerned about fading unless you kept the window shaded though.

I'm with Jerry! If anyone has one they don't need and want to kick it down, just let me know! Actually, I am at a very close 2nd place with the Circassian Walnut model. I would get downright emotional if I was able to procure one.

My daughters room in the old house. She liked the Circassian
Walnut machines too!
