Selling this Vintage Pagoda Chandelier

Tuesday, August 9, 2011

You may or may not know from reading this blog that for years the husband and I made a living restoring and selling historic homes.  Since the housing market crash put a stop to that, I find myself with a sizable stash of cool vintage lighting that I had been hoarding for upcoming projects and also because I really like them!  It's time to clean out the closets (and basement) and offer my favorite fixtures to my favorite blog readers (this means you!) And really, these adorable fixtures should be proudly hanging in someone's home rather than stuffed in a cardboard box in my basement on top of a dead cat.  Where's the fun in that?


Today's offering is a personal favorite.  Since I'm fully entrenched in my "all things Chinoiserie" (you too?)  period, it hurts a little to part with it but I feel it's for the greater good. 


Charming vintage Chinoiserie Pagoda chandelier - $395.  (Update: Sale is pending )   It has 6 arms and sports its original white paint finish, nicks and all.  Head over to Lowe's or Home Depot and pick yourself up one of these for about 3 bucks.


and save yourself about $1347!

It even has the original canopy that attaches to the ceiling



And now, enjoy how cool it could look in your own place!






  Shipping will be in the $25-ish range - I don't have the same connections as Overstock.  And for some reason, the USPS and UPS charge more for a big box that is not heavy.

New Photos of the Shop

Wednesday, August 3, 2011

It's been a while since I've posted pictures of my shop.  Things have been going very well there!   This past weekend I loaded up my space with some new old pieces and I wanted to share them with you. 
This big art piece was made by Mallory, one of my colleagues at Yessick's.  It's a mosaic portrait made from tiny squares of colored paper that were laid over an image of the face.  It's mounted on foam board and the borders are wrapped in newspaper. This piece is priced at $295, which probably works out to about $2 per hour for Mal's labor!




Mallory's portrait is above this mid-century cabinet I just updated in a black satin paint finish.  This cabinet is a very good quality piece of furniture.  It's solid wood construction inside and out and has two shelves inside and a hole in the back for electrical wire.  It also has great original detail, with the bamboo and rattan accents and the reeded handles. $185



This is a closer image of the detail on the turquoise glass and brass lamps that are on the piece above.  More mid-century finds, with new silk shades.  Lamps are $89 each. Small glass bird, $6


Smaller accessories on the cabinet.  Oriental tea tin, $5, collectible books, $3 each, small landscape oil painting, $18


Faux tortoise shell on stand, $26, vintage mirrored tray $16



Black painted shield mirror, $79




Set of 3 brass quail?partridges? - let's just go with birds.  $18/3


Pair of brass stag head candle holders.  $38/pair


Narrow Frenchie console with gold detail $199
