Crammed in the back room of this antique mall, I came upon a huge watchmakers cabinet. Really, four cabinets with row after row of small drawers. In each drawer are hundreds of tiny tissue-thin printed envelopes containing parts and pieces.
At the bottom of each cabinet is a foot pedal that, when depressed, operates a lever on the top of the cabinet. I suspect it is for attaching the clear glass/crystal cover protecting the watch pieces. I can imagine an artist or jewelry maker pouring through all these envelopes, coming up with new and creative things to make. The cabinets could be refurbished to hold all sort of little goodies.
All yours, for just $1,200.
I loved this mid-century sofa (not the fabric necessarily, but the shape is great). Obviously, someone else did, too, as it was marked SOLD.
I originally thought about these great tables for my dream river house. They are a soft aqua, faux croc with nickel nail heads. They could sit on either side of the master bed? Definitely not antiques, I recognized them from last year's Symphony Designer House. The designer who decorated a bedroom had quite a few non-sold pieces that populated this booth... I wonder how well it works to sell obviously new items in an antique-mall setting?
