Product Spotlight

So last week we had a very special piece come into the store 
& I wanted to give it a shout out. 

We have it listed on the website as the

 $612 Victorian Marble Top Dressing Table 41w 17.5d 90h  12t0110v1 

When it came to us it had all of it's original parts, but had been dissasembled. One of the cross pieces and a side ledge needed to be re-tacked and a couple drawers re-squared. After minor repairs everything cleaned up beautifully!! This is a soild oak piece with burled wood details. The piece is around 100 yrs old and in excilent condition. It has 3 marble slabs and all are intact and unchipped/scratched.

 It has 2 large drawers (the bottom drawer has a split from age, but is completely functional) and 4 small drawers above. The mirror is original and in fantastic condition, no cracks, nicks or chips.

 This is truely a historical beauty and I loved getting to work on such an interesting piece. The craftsmanship is excelent and a true testiment to a bigone era. Dressing tables were fashionable furnishing pieces during the Victorian period, due to the rise in dandyism. Maybe you're not a dandy, but you'll def impress your friends with this addition to your home.

WE HAVE VINTAGE INSULATORS

Hey Everybody!!!
So excited to let y'all know we just came across a supply of vintage insulators!!
I am a huge fan of these little historical gems.

I realize not everyone is familiar with these, so let me explain...
Shortly after the telephone began to grow in popularity, telephone and telegraph lines started to criss cross the country. These glass or ceramic "insulators" would protect the wires when joined to a telephone pole. Like so:

These insulators would proctect the cables from the elements and insure a solid connection when lines were joined. Some styles were produced from the 1890's through the 1960's! Funny how such a common piece of history can so quickly become obscure.  Insulators were most often made from glass or cermaic, ranging in a wide varitey of colors, shapes, and sizes. Here are some common shapes and styles:

So hope everyone is excited! These are great conversation pieces for their small, compact size. They make lovey bookends or just look great sitting in the sun. Here are a couple creative projects for repurposing insulators:

Hope you enjoyed the historical tidbits!! If you would like to find out more about the history & variety of insulators, I found http://www.insulators.info/ very informative.
