As the snow continues to fall, we are getting ready for spring at The Barn. Over the next couple of months, we will bring in all kinds of fun and unusual outdoor items, and the first few items showed up this week – planters and giant outdoor coolers made from recycled oil drums. A photo of a boat cooler is attached; spring will come. A shipment of icebox cabinets also arrived, including the media unit size, a server size, and a new large, tall size. Some oddball reproduction pieces showed up, including large cast-iron keys, round grey metal planters, and a funky blanket box with an iron latch. Our replica tin signs were our best-selling Christmas gift item this past season; we restocked them this week and got all kinds of new tin signs, including lots of funny signs, which were the best seller. Antique furniture arrivals this week include: a large Chippendale highboy – photo attached, a Canadian walnut cedar chest by Honderich, a hanging curio cabinet, a six-drawer wicker dresser, two nice walnut wine tables, a redone quarter-cut oak rocker with caned seat and back, an English roped edge buffet, an inlaid accent chair, a Queen Anne nest of tables, a small maple bookcase, an unusual refectory mahogany Duncan Phyfe table, a small pine bench with lift seat, a Chippendale footstool, assorted chairs, and a double-mirrored Art Deco wardrobe. Some of the antique odds-and-ends this week include: ammo boxes and a military helmet, a 1945 crock, a large oil painting, a pair of Wedgewood style lamps, a life preserver, a double planter, an early electric Majestic heater, a pair of crystal and brass wall sconces with clear and emerald green prisms, a six-light Capodimonte chandelier, assorted lamps, a large beer stein, and more.
