I have always said that every room needs a touch of humor, something to start conversations, a little quirky item or art. I have loved the gun lamps from Philippe Starck the first time I saw them. If the lamp it too much for you, then here a few other amusements that will definitely start talk at your next party.

Saturday

Coleen and Company

c. 1980's, painted on canvas material and floated in a Plexiglas box. With lots of movement and color, this is an exciting painting. Signed "Thomas #12" on the back.



We have never seen a Murano lantern like this. Absolutely stunning! Made to resemble a Japanese lantern, the opaque white glass glows beautifully when lit. Notice the delicate detail of the metal bands around the top and bottom of the fixture.
c. mid 19c., this bench is absolutely stunning! Featuring gorgeous old grey/blue velvet upholstery, tassels and mother-of-pearl inlay, and a well-worn original ivory finish.

Beautiful vintage fainting couch, c. 1950's, upholstered in a nubby and strong dynasty yellow silk. In excellent vintage condition, featuring dramatic tufting and a painted cream color frame. See detailed photos for one crack in the arm which does not detract from the look or effect the structural strength. Doesn't the sunny yellow make you happy just looking at it?

New lovlies from my friend Coleen in Newport Beach. Lots of new pieces in the shop and online. coleenandcompany.com
