August is moving on, fast! As we get closer to fall I start to plan for the European container to arrive with all the goods I traversed all over Holland, Belgium, and France for this past July. The container will arrive soon and then after everything is unpacked, cleaned, inventoried, etc., I will close the shop for several days and get ready for the annual Container Party, which is like a sneak peak of all of the usual unusual objects I found on the continent this year. The date for this year’s party is Thursday, September 24th, 5 pm to 9 pm. This will be the fifth Container Party at the shop. Here are a few images from last year’s party. Click on images to enlarge.
Amish Quilt behind a Victorian wire plant stand and a French forged iron clock case.
Woodard chairs on either side of an unusual painted gaming table, possibly used at a carnival.
Marble top coffee table with French zinc basin containing wooden bowling balls.
The early European bread baking trays make a statement against the glazed brick walls.
French Jielde lamp with zinc fishing floats in cast iron coal hod.
Hammered copper leaf on marble top table.
The six leg, ten foot long table originally from a St. Louis convent has two very large copper vents on either side of it. The vents were taken from an early Missouri barn.
The large heart on the back wall is actually a 1930′s florist’s moss-covered flower form.
European weathervane next to an ironstone foot-tub with Japanese fishing floats inside.
This Carousel panel was one of the things I thought was very special in last year’s container. It is carved out of wood and retains most of its original polychrome. To the right of the panel is a polished steel Jielde lamp arching over the table. Click on images to enlarge.
In one of the bookcases behind the counter a vignette with an advertising scale model of a dress form from the 1920s, alongside a group of marionette torsos from France, and a carrier pigeon award on the back wall.
