New Auction Window: Bird's Eye View

 Ignore the birds, fellow thrifters, this auction is all for you—although it does seem as though they have the best view!

Take, for instance, this unique iron and wood sculpture, a marvelous piece to behold no matter which angle you view it. Then there's the triangular Cassina side table complete with teak trappings.

Have a seat on the hooked rug to get a better look at the aluminum birds flying over head.

Or, if you'd rather, this Finn Juhl model 48 chair looks like a rather stylish seating option. From there, you'll spot a set of hand-ground dessert plates, two Italian art pottery lidded bowls, a positively glowing perforated sheet metal lamp, and the pièce de résistance, a Day of the Dead diorama.

Auction ends Tuesday, November 22 at 8pm. Bids may be placed in person or by phone (212-871-0777) on the auction clipboard near the register.

Happy bidding!

New Auction Window: Asian Purple

Ah, yes, another auction filled with Asian treasures —  now with more purple!

Earthy textures, like the terracotta lamps or coiled baskets, play well with the austere elegance of the black console table, while the Southeast Asian puppets dance joyfully above.

 We love the way the traditional materials (bamboo, brass, rice paper, and silk) pop against the modern wall color. Who knew vibrant periwinkle could be this posh?

Swing by the store this week to check out all the items up for bid. Auction ends Tuesday, November 8 at 8pm. Bids may be placed in person or by phone (212-871-0777) on the auction clipboard near the register.

Happy bidding!
