A flock of Cast Iron Snow Birds, twelve of them, American, with a patent date, difficult to read, that appears to be January 28, 1800. Made to dam up snow and ice on a slate roof, they've been together for such a long time that they'll be offered only as a set. They have picked up some paint and some roof tar along the way, and  but everyone in New England knows that when the snow birds return from Florida (or wherever it is they go) it's a sure sign of Spring! 

Upper Canada, c. 1820, with a Walnut face frame, pine and poplar secondary. Two over three drawers, graduated, in northern tiger maple, the case in cherry; replaced feet keep the price very reasonable for a chest of these woods, this size, and this age.

An iconic, mirror glass-topped cast iron Art Deco table, 19-3/4 inches wide and 23-3/4 inches tall. The shelf, featuring the stylized figure of a nude woman, is proportionally smaller, 18 inches wide. The table is marked "Patent Pending / Seville Studios". Seville Art Metal Studios operated in Cleveland, Ohio, only during the 1920s-30s. Although not dated, this piece was produced in the early 1920s. I cannot be entirely certain, but I think the painted surface is very likely original.

Not cut down from a coverlet, this indigo blue and white reticule was purpose-woven on a jacquard loom. Whether it dates to the mid-19th century or to the crafts revival period of 1890-1840 I can't be certain... but I can be certain that it is a wonderful object and a credit to its master weaver.
