Our Treasures
Here are some of our most valued treasures! We love them so much, we are holding on to them for now - but we wanted to show them off anyway.
As some objects are quite large, they are rather difficult to ship.
However, please fill in the contact us form to enquire about these, if you see something you like. Who knows, we might give them to a good home at the right price.

Illuminated Sculptural Brass-Fish Coffee Table, Isabelle & Richard Fauré
This exceptionally rare illuminated fish sculpture serves as an extravagant sofa table and is attributed to the French designers Isabelle & Richard Fauré. It most likely hails from the illustrious Maison Honoré in Paris, known for their remarkable custom made creations.
Skillfully crafted from welded and polished brass plates this objet d'art has a golden patina and is decorated with luminous quartz-crystal elements in the fins and tail.
Hidden beneath the fins and tail are three light bulbs which illuminate the table top and elevate this exceptional coffee table to a magnificent art installation!

Aldo Tura Bar Cabinet
We love Aldo Tura's designs, whether they be bar carts or indeed bar cabinets.
And this one has it all: A turquoise lacquered outer skin with brass bolts, handles and hinges, glass shelves with brass rails and mirrored inner walls. This is the ultimate eye catcher. We found it advertised online in Bavaria and we just couldn't resist. And who could blame us? Now, it's time for a G&T...

Drylund Bar Cabinet
What better place to look for clever space saving solutions than on a ship! This Captain's Bar was designed by Reno Wahl Iversen for the Danish manufacturer Drylund. It comes with brass details on the most beautiful rosewood. Most fascinating though are the endless options that come with the foldable top. But see for yourself:

Emerald Green ALDO TURA Pipe Bar Cart, Italy 1960s
We are delighted to have found this rare and most iconic pipe-shaped ALDO TURA bar cart in the most sought after emerald green (or "Aldo Tura Green" as we have come to call it). With its distinctive and sleek design, this ALDO TURA bar cart was handcrafted in Milan, Italy, in the 1960's from high-quality materials and finishes. All surfaces are covered in lacquered goatskin and the brass details have retained their golden shine!

Kalmar Dornstab Floor Lamp, Austria
This design classic was originally designed in 1947 by Julius Theodor Kalmar, son of the original founder of Kalmar Franken KG and A. Pöll.
Our little treasure here is a reproduction by Kalmar Werkstätten, a sub-brand of Kalmar, based on Kalmar's drawings. While not an "original from the 50's" we still love this most elegantly shaped floor lamp in oak and black bronze with a silk shade and black textile cable.
