Edna C. Rex, a talented creator from the 1930s to 1940s, left behind an impressive legacy of exquisite craftsmanship. Her sewing-table, crafted between 1935 and 1942, stands as a testament to her skill and attention to detail. The intricate design showcases her ability to combine functionality with beauty. In addition to the sewing-table, Edna C. Rex also designed a stunning bodice in approximately 1937. This piece demonstrates her mastery of garment construction and highlights her keen eye for fashion during that era. One cannot overlook Edna's talent for creating items for children as well. Her child's cape, made between 1935 and 1942, is both adorable and practical - perfect for keeping little ones warm on chilly days. Moving beyond clothing accessories, Edna C. Rex also delved into other areas of design such as home decor and furnishings. Her carpet bag from around 1937 is not only stylish but also functional – ideal for travel or everyday use. Another noteworthy creation by Edna is the cradle she designed circa 1938. Its elegant curves and meticulous woodwork make it a timeless piece that would have provided comfort to many infants throughout the years. For those seeking portable workspaces or writing surfaces in the past century, Edna had them covered too. Her lap desk from around 1936 was ingeniously designed with compartments for storing stationery supplies while providing a comfortable surface for writing or reading. Edna C. Rex even ventured into household essentials like trivets (made between 1935-1942) which served both decorative and practical purposes by protecting tabletops from hot dishes. During colder months when warmth was essential indoors too, one could rely on Edna's foot warmer created circa 1936 – combining functionality with cozy aesthetics seamlessly. Not limiting herself solely to furniture pieces or textiles; this versatile artist also dabbled in doll-making.
