This past week a shipment of reclaimed wood furniture arrived from Vancouver. The Settler sundried lingerie chest is back in stock, a photo is attached. We also restocked much of our Provence line including the Provence sideboard which had been sold out for some time. Check out our Reproductions page for more photos.
Antique arrivals from the past two weeks included: a nice pair of Louis XVI gilt arm chairs-a photo is attached, pine armoire, two very different oak fireplace mantels[one quarter cut oak, and one Arts & Crafts], a heavily carved rocking chair-a photo is attached, 3piece walnut Peppler bedroom suite, sap buckets, rocking chair painted blue, umbrella stand painted red, crystal chandelier with purple prisms, mahogany corner chair, small French marble top commode, 7 & 1/2 foot high Canadianna flatback, pair of bar height leather arm chairs, industrial sewing machine base, brass floor lamp, pair of gold floor lamps, fancy pair of brass fire dogs, ornate bevelled gilt mirror, a few paintings including a nice ornately framed painting, mahogany sofa table in perfect condition, wicker night stand, and more.
A quick note for those who read last week’s article on the movie business. I wrote that hopefully movie business would resume shortly. Well it has! The set decoration buyers started showing up at The Barn again last week. Fittingly Murdoch Mysteries was the first production to make a purchase since all productions shut down in March. We were told that none of the really big productions were up and running yet, they are still figuring out how to operate in our new normal, but they are working on it. It’s great to see another industry getting back to work.
