Do you like the metal industrial look? Well, we blagged 12 old metal bedside cabinets from a Prague hospital. Totally the inlook at the moment! I have to say I’m keeping a couple for myself and we’ve already sold a few more to an interior designer to get in quick, if you’re interested...
We picked up a cracking 1950s table and chair combo. The table has a blue vinyl top with chrome edging, beach legs and the table sides have sort of space-age scoops cut out. The chairs (4) have matching blue plastic seat covers – it’s easily the best of its type we’ve seen for a long time.
A big old carpenters saw horse, which we were going to use as a display piece, has just sold as I write this blog in the shop so err.... can’t say much more about that!
We finally managed to find a stuffed stoat which had been requested by a customer. At least I hope it’s a stoat – it looks quite happy and has been displayed really well atop a dead rabbit it’s just caught – perhaps this is why it looks cheerful! Weasels always seem to look angry..and very small. I think this must be the difference.
What else? What else?
A really beautiful (well, once restored) Scottish dresser, more metal trunks, a big old enamel double grocers scale, loads of china, a couple of brass bells, American drinks crates, some beautiful blankets and the usual array of chairs, chests and cupboards.
We have at least 3 more buying trips coming up soon so provided I don’t pass out from bacon butty poisoning, we’ll keep you informed....
