Tiny's Has Moved!

Hi folks! Guess what? Tiny's has moved! My showroom is located on the second floor of Broadmoor Antiques, 6 North Union Street, Lambertville . . . I'm still as Tiny as ever, but since it's a co-op, my hours are now bigger! Open every day except Tuesdays, 11-5.
My old location on the canal will now serve as my warehouse.  I will be holding monthly sales, and of course, am always willing to meet you by appointment!

Check out the latest additions . . . a 30's sideboard painted French Blue . . . a gorgeous 30s carved and veneered library table . . . an amazing carved Victorian-era lovebirds chair with ram's-head arms and garlanded trim . . . an antique inlaid mahogany octagon side table . . . antique iron window grates . . . the list goes on and on!

I'm Sick of Winter

. . . but I'm never sick of vintage.  I'm busy sprucing up new inventory to prep the shop for spring! Look forward to Tiny's Sidewalk Sales from May through the summer months.

Currently on offer, a gorgeous oak side table/vanity with glass pulls, methinks from the early 1900s:

Don't forget this pretty antique gesso frame, painted and repurposed as a shabby chic mirror:

And what about a vintage chair, transformed for the farmhouse table with an authentic grainsack?

See y'all when the weather warms!



Baldelli Pottery Banks

I love mid-century modern decor, so it's no suprise I'm always on the lookout for fun finds from the 60's and 70's for the shop.  Recently, I scored a pair of ceramic animal banks from Baldelli Ceramiche, an Italian pottery maker located outside Perugina.

Baldelli produced a range of these banks, featuring different animals in various shades, for sale in US department stores during the 60s/70s.  They are highly collectible today -- especially the coveted cat bank, which resembles the work of mid-century Scandinavian artist Lisa Larson.  I sold this orange version of the cat earlier this year via my etsy site:

Matilda The Vintage Dress Form

Hi there, Tiny's customers.  Meet Matilda:

Matilda is a vintage dress form.  She has quite the bod.  And if you peruse Pottery Barn or Restoration Hardware catalogs, you know is SO HOT right now (Zoolander fans, anyone?).  Check out her original cast iron stand and her distressed finish.  To die for!

You like Matilda? I'm sorry (actually, happy!) to report she's already been promised to another.  Taken! Don't wait too long, Tiny's customers . . . the best stuff goes in a snap.

The Latest and Greatest

Just in time for Christmas, I rescued this sweet thirties dresser with the beyond-awesome glove box.  Painted and distressed for that Anthropologie look.

Another great shabby-chic rescue is this cute French Provincial nightstand, shabbified for you.  I really enjoy the cut-out "windows" on the sides.

There's new chachkas in the offering, too! The discriminating collector should have some fun. How about a vintage Jere-style owl? (owls are THE thing right now, in case you weren't informed).

These vintage wood bowling pins are becoming quite collectible, now that they've been replaced with hard plastic pins.  Less durable, sure, but somehow more loveable.  Put one on your shelf and you'll look very "Restoration Hardware."

Bombe? Bombay? Okay!

Thanks to the wonderful customers who purchased my aqua sideboard (on to a new life as a bathroom sink!) and the cottage white dresser . . . I am busy painting new inventory to fill their places at the shop.

In the meantime, come in and take a look at this adorable marble-top bombe chest with brass detailing. A 20th century repro, most likely, but awfully cute.

If you're looking for a larger storage solution, this modern repro from Emerson et Cie fits the bill. It is in absolutely gorgeous condition with pristine burlwood veneer and drawers lined in premium Italian paper. And why not? It was made in Italy! I was so excited to see those words stamped on the reverse . . . how often do you see anything other than "Made in China" anymore?
