Treasures! - Cool Stuff

I wanted to share a couple of treasures from recent foraging. A great cast bronze piece, that looks as though it was part of something larger at one time, and was simply unscrewed, then tossed out into the world for me to find. I love the simple decorativeness of it, and the age suggested by the deep patination and rust.

I also found a really great chair! The chair is Heywood-Wakefield; ridiculously collectible furniture. Apparently, "During the 1930s and 1940s Heywood-Wakefield began producing furniture using sleek designs based on French Art Deco", and pieces from that era through the 60's are heavily collected. I have plans for this one, and you'll be seeing it again soon...let's see if you recognize it!
