Vignette


What do these items have in common?  A cohesive palette, a combination of fragility and strength.  Bring home what you love, and let the conversations begin. 

Wooden Swivel Chairs






These chairs swivel, they adjust, and they provide a good lean.  Keep those feet on the floor, young man!  They would be great at a dining room table, especially if you have folks of different heights.  We demonstrated this in the store the other day, with a Dad over six feet tall and his little girl, age 3.

Adjustable, and refreshingly low-tech: 16"-23" high

Detail!


"The devil is in the details" has given credit to many a pursuit.  We're not sure whom to thank  -- Mies van der Rohe, Flaubert, or an anonymous source.  We do think they'd like this composition of lines and forms: just enough symmetry to soothe, just enough panache to grace your home.

Maple Dining Table


This 10' table is solid maple with a staggered pattern as seen below  - completely rebuilt and reinforced on all sides.  Think of it as a complete renovation of a classic brownstone.  Ebonized pipe legs - 6 in total - are removable for easy maneuverability.  The finish is softly glazed for a bit of sophistication.  Use it as a long desk, dining or work table.  The clean lines and simple silhouette is a nice fit with all decorating styles. We can make it 36" high with a simple change in the legs.  This is another fine restoration from the best in the business - Furniture Revival.  Everything they touch is perfectly reborn.  They are both artisans and technicians.  And, we're glad they are working with us.  Thanks, Folks!!



10' 7" x  31" x 30 high

Wooden School Chairs


Yes, these are really Catholic school chairs.  Steel bases and wood backs and seats -- just the color of a ruler, don't you think?


 

Kitchen Cabinet


Storage, storage, storage!  For those people not blessed with built-ins or a butler's pantry, may we offer up this spectacular piece?  It has a lovely patina, original hardware, and do you see the bin on the right side?  It pulls out, and would be perfect for blankets...or wheat, of course.

5 feet wide X 8 feet tall


Glass Jars



These amber vessels would be great in a kitchen, home office, or laboratory for that budding scientist in your home. Fill them with chamomile tea, office supplies, or wildflowers.  Simple beauty.
