The Most Amazing Chest Of Drawers Purchased At An Auction

I bought the most amazing chest of drawers from an online auction last night. I will pick the chest up later today but I couldn’t wait to share it with yall.
Isn’t it a beauty? Look at those details. I’m swooning. It appears to be in amazingly good shape structurally.
I paid $75 for it—a great deal. The paint is chipping in places, and the piece needs a good cleaning. I will repaint it, but unless there is a lot of lost paint, I don’t plan to sand the paint before I repaint it. I’m pretty sure from looking at the finish that the paint is lead-based. It’s better to just paint over it.
Painting over the paint isn’t a problem. I do it all the time. A couple of coats of new paint will seal the lead-based paint, so it shouldn’t get airborne or cause any health issues.
I bought the old crate at the auction too for $8. The crate is pretty large.
The next few photos are things I bought at the auction a couple of weeks ago. Just now getting around to sharing. I like the homemade wood tote and it was $5.
Then I got this box lot of small stuff for $4.
This small bible is really old but I forgot the date and it is down in the workshop right now. I will add the date here later with more info.
An assortment of pins and the pretty white milk glass shaker….only one.
Then there were a few brass pieces in the box.
And these small glass dishes and that is it. What do you think of my purchases? What color should I paint the chest of drawers?
As always, thanks for being here, Kathy
