Italian Console and Mirror





Not sure why this lovely piece is still available, but it is!?  This wrought iron console and mirror are a very pretty pair and also very decorative.  The mirror has a Greek key frame and floral decoration.  The marble-top, wrought iron console has a pair of electrified candle sconces and acanthus, floral and twist decoration.  It would be a great piece for a hallway, bath/ powder room, or a bedroom.  72" h., 24" w., 13" d.  Italian, c. 1950's  $650.00   SALE  $225.00
Condition:  Very good vintage condition with age appropriate wear, particularly to the edge of the marble.

HOPE

HOPE.  Former First Lady, Michelle Obama is speaking in Hamilton at the end of this week.  When President Obama was elected in November of 2008, it was such an amazing day, week...start.  The Port Hope shop had only been open for a few months.  I did a 'HOPE' themed window that week inspired by the now famous poster by Shepard Fairey, and also inspired by the sense of hope and excitement that was in the air at the time.  In some ways it seems like yesterday.  In some ways it seems like another world.  In so many ways it truly was another world.  December of 2016 was the 'Build Love, Not Walls' windows.  I don't think anyone could have imagined what the next three years would bring during that holiday season.  Back to today, it felt like the right moment for another 'HOPE' window.  You have to look a little bit harder to find it in these windows than you did in 2008.  Look in the mirror.  It's in there.
