This beautiful red Victorian couch came from the Dennis estate in Wilsonville. Dot and Cecil ran an antique shop there for many years. This couch is seven feet long.
Their collection came up for auction ( so far three seperate auctions and still enough left over for another one) in Calera at Cagle's and I attended all three. My cousins bought lamps while I bought furniture.
The pink Victorian chairs are also from their estate. I have known the Dennis's all my life. They lived in Montevallo, and were only three houses down the road from ours, a quick walking distance.
I spent many Saturday mornings at their house playing Monopoly with their daughter and my cousins back in the 1960's. I guess they moved to Wilsonville in the 1980s and that's when they opened their antique shop.
( One of our best customers, from Selma, just bought the couch. She is having it recovered to match the new drapes and bed clothes and it will sit at the foot of her bed.)
