Wine Servers & Wine Cabinets

Last week I was in a search for wine servers and cabinets for a client and for my upcoming online store. I liked these three as they were very well made, are usually in stock and I simply liked wood tones. Of course the designer and maker is originally from England!

The Bar cabinet features touch lights, mirrored back wall, hanging glass racks and it holds 42 bottles. $7145



This server in an English Cherry finish, and is my favorite. has 6 pull out shelves - each holds 5 bottles. 58" wide x 22" deep x 43" high. $3677





Great for an apartment, kitchen or office. Holds 20 bottles. $1650


This distressed and solid built Vintners side table is awesome. Very beefy. The perfect food prep side table at 63" wide x 16"deep x 34" high. $1222

16 Antique Textile Pillows

The incredible precision, workmanship and utmost care that goes into the sewing of these antique embroidery pillows is amazing. The antique embroideries and tapestries and other interesting textiles are hunted across Europe and are then carefully paired with metallic “galloon” trims…. “galloons” were most often utilized in the making of European ecclesiastical garments. Then they are sewn onto a piece of luxurious velvet and hand trimmed. They are one-of-a-kind works of art. Enchanting and gorgeous... and are made right here in the USA, by a fine young lady who I enjoy working with.

Shipping is included to any address in the lower 48 states.

Cool Zebra Hide Rug

I just bought this awesome Zebra hide and I love it! Of course I knew that I would be digging a hole for myself and several clients have already expressed their disapproval of it even though it is a from a game preserve and is not poached. Regardless, hand painted cow hides can't hold a torch to this.


I had to come back and add this picture from a recently published design book. I respect the opinions voiced in the comment section, but good hides are never out of style. Just my opinion.
