Excellent shop. I’m a sucker for a good globe. Also, those portraits are really fun.
good selection of lamps. I’m surprised no one’s picked up that pillow with the needlepoint of the kittens.
What only a 4 out of 5? I’d rate this place a 6 or 7 out of 5 at least!! Y’see, I need a couple of old-fashioned drum lampshades for these huge lamps at my brother’s house (actually we co-own it so I get to impose my design wishes from time to time). Right now neither the lamp bases nor the shades match precisely, so I could unify them with newer [ and... er... um... cleaner] lampshades.
Let this be a lesson to you all never to have a chain smoker of cigars under your roof, not for as much as a day. (Not my brother, my late papa.)
