A simple desk from Paul McCobb’s Planner Group for Winchendon. This one is in decent shape, but needs a little work on the interior of the right drawer. It’s also missing a knob, but I don’t think they are terribly hard to find $375. The red seventies lamp is $40; the chair is one of four birch dining chairs with new fabric, $275 for the set.

Technically that’s what they call this style, with the little spheres punctuating the steel rod, but this one manages not to be too kitsch. $35

Those are the buzz words, but this is not your run of the mill modern sideboard. With its incised diamond pattern, this Norwegian beauty is distinctive. Solid teak, three drawers on top and the doors open onto shelving. Quality brass key hardware. 17 inches deep, 79 inches long, $825.

A lovely bunch of arrows that I picked up a few years ago, someone came in and bought this found art piece right away. But you can still enjoy them, in notecard form. $10 for three archival cards with envelopes.

Many interesting objects have passed in and out of the Iron Fish over the past few years. Luckily I took a picture of this one for my Notecard series. Maybe I should change the name of the shop…

The contrast of the painted iron with the stainless steel top makes this a perfect accent piece for almost any decor. With wheels, a drawer, a shelf, a little towel bar and some kind of clip thing, it would work great in the kitchen, bedroom or bathroom. $145

Nothing revolutionary here, but one of my favorites. The wood protruding off the base just slightly helps give it a nice, solid, clean look. Works well as both a table and a bench. $425

Mr. Machine is definitely an objet de 20th century, pardon my French. He winds up and rolls around, mouth jawing and arms swinging, all his inner workings barely concealed behind clear plastic. $75
