Louise Philip “Billot” butcher block with bronze plaquette and cowhead Origin: Brussels, Circa: 1800s
This piece is always a favorite as people explore the shop! The butcher’s block was used for over 60 years, resulting in the deep contour you see. The block was made into a piece of furniture by a company in Brussels, who added the backboard and legs. The backboard features the maker’s tag, advertising that they make benches, iceboxes, counters, shelving, and butcher supplies. It even has their address and telephone number in Brussels. A glass top has been added to make a level surface for a functioning table, which does not take away from being able to admire the patina of the original work surface. Drawers add to the functionality of this unique piece.

Ways you can integrate it into your home:
- add more workspace to a large kitchen or place it in your hidden prep kitchen for a nostalgic feel
- use it as a striking entry table or within an oversized laundry room as a convenient spot to fold and organize

How would you incorporate this work table into your home?

It’s all in the details, and this fun piece comes with the kind of details that truly spark your imagination. This antique carousel ticket counter comes from France. The copper plate on the countertop must have felt the exchange of thousands of tickets; the original key and lock kept cash and valuables safe; the original green, yellow, and gold paint has been left to develop an authentic patina.

And the crown jewel in this piece is the original height stick, which must have fulfilled (or possibly rejected!) countless children’s hopes to ride the merry-go-round!

Please stop by and ask about this fantastic piece, we’d love for it to find a new home and purpose!

More than just a birdhouse, a dovecote was a status symbol in medieval and Elizabethan England. Construction was restricted to lords and the clergy, and provided a ‘living larder’ with access to fresh eggs and meat provided by the pigeons housed in the ‘cote’. Restrictions were later lifted and there was a surge in construction of these structures. They tapered off by the 18th century, though many survive today. They came in a variety of styles and materials- our wood one would have fit neatly tucked under an eave!

This piece can now have a second life in your home, as a wall art piece or addedd in to your garden space.
