New Thingamajigs

Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines a thingamajig as:  “something that is hard to classify…”.  Sometimes I feel my whole shop fits that definition.  I’ve been very excited by some of the shop’s new thingamajigs and so here are a few of them.

Hands down this is one of the best dining tables I have ever had, certainly one of the heaviest.  The table is from Europe and has exceptional forged ironwork combined with bronze detailing.   The weathered marble top has just the right amount of wear on its surface.  Click on images to enlarge.

The 19th century zinc finials from France seem right at home on the large garden table.

venetianmirror01

This reverse etched Venetian style mirror just came into the shop.  It dates from the 1920s.  The sconces on either side of the mirror are carved wood and were found in Belgium.

caroil01

A teenage boy and his red GTO, oil painting on canvas.  This painting speaks volumes about the attitude of the late 1970s and the “muscle car” era.  The GTO painting was done by a St. Louis artist in the early 1980s.  It is hanging in the shop next to an Eames over-sized “House of Cards” card deck.   In the upper left hand corner of the image, barely showing, is  a metal sculpture of a swan by Curtis Jere.

easter01

I wanted to include this image of the candy containers for two reasons: one, they are a great collection of paper-mache German candy containers, new to the shop; two, they remind me of spring, wonderfully glorious spring.  It has been a cold and gloomy winter so far in St. Louis.   It’s  nice to have a few reminders around us that spring is just around the corner.  ” All through the long winter, I dream of my garden.  On the first day of Spring, I dig my fingers deep into the soft earth.  I can feel its energy and my spirits soar.” — Quote by Helen Hayes.  Click on images to enlarge.
