The cold weather delayed a shipment of reclaimed wood furniture this week, it’s in a rail car somewhere. At The Barn we always have a large inventory of antique pieces that are not in the building, so we just brought in more antique pieces. Some great pieces came in including a rare 85 inch long inlaid mahogany Sheraton sideboard-a photo is attached, its a big one. Lots of great electric and candle lighting came in including: a large Tiffany style ceiling fixture with 8 curved panels, large rod iron candelabra that stands on the floor, Louie XV chandelier, cast iron 6 light medieval ceiling fixture, luster lamps, girandole candelabras in brass and bronze, and lots more lamps and lights. Other antique arrivals include: a walnut camel back sofa-photo attached, regulator clock, hump trunk, 2 pillars-76” tall, 2 school desks, Art Deco campaign style drop front desk, small painted bookcase, mahogany leather top drum table, round walnut pedestal lamp table, library hall table, 3′ x 5′ mahogany office desk in nice condition, oak medicine cabinet, nest of 3 outdoor wrought iron tables, pair of Louie XV style chairs, pair of Queen Anne mahogany lamp tables, portable singer sewing machine-it sews well we checked, 1960’s Sea breeze tape recorder and lots more. The award for most unusual item[s] of the week goes to an antique porcelain diaper pail and child’s bath tub.
