First, a tall, darkly blond and handsome set of 3 alder wood bookcases, custom built.
| Alder is a beautiful wood with subtle but fascinating grain. These bookcases are 7 feet tall, 11.5" deep. Two are 30" wide, one is 24" wide. |
| Here's a vintage, maple bookcase, 30" wide x 10" deep x 40" tall. $68 |
Other choices also include a more utilitarian, wooden bookcase that is doubling as my sales counter just now.
It's 48" wide x ~13" deep x ~36" tall. $45.
And an unfinished Ballard Bookcase Company unit, 30" x 11" x 48" tall; these are $159 new. The one here has some wear that doesn't affect its function, priced at $95.
Inocuous among the bookcases is this white laminate display case, 31.5" x 15.5" x 63.5" tall, the upper shelves lit and enclosed by glass doors:
Inocuous because it fades into the background when you have items on display:
Here's a moody version of the upper shelf display area, showing the Fog Woman totem pole, the Davidsons glass teapot, the 40-year old Lennox vase, and the Cannonsburg dishes:
And here's another photo of the lit display area, just because I like the way it turned out. This is the 22 kt. gold-trimmed Canonsburg dish set; there are almost 12 place settings, with a piece missing here and there, but 10 complete 6-dish settings plus serving dishes. We've priced it low ($195 for 86 pieces) because the consignor just wants it to go to a good home where it will be used and appreciated. (The creamer and lidless sugar bowl to the back are orphans, but they fit nicely with the Canonsburg teapot, don't they?)
