Some vintage finds stand out for their graceful design and timeless elegance. There are many of these at GasLamp, and we love them all. But these picks – from a Civil War-era chair to a milk glass ship – stand out due to their inherent beauty and charm.

CIVIL WAR CHAIR

With its skillfully carved wood, this dining chair, one of two, will be an elegant addition to any table ($300 each; Booth B-218). The chair, produced sometime between 1840 and 1860, is inspired by the heavily carved style of the Civil War era. A sculpted top crest depicts swirling acanthus leaves, a classical motif, and the richly carved back features a small rosette in the center.

INDIAN PEACOCK MIRROR

The daring design of this “peacock” mirror is inspired by the fanned tail feathers of that showy bird ($475; W-405). Monica Art of India, located in Rajasthan, India, produced this mirror made from mango wood. It is a traditional, handmade mirror created by specialized craftsmen (and it’s as showy as a peacock at 43 x 31.5 inches).

BRITISH COLONIAL STYLE

This vintage console table made of glossy cane steers one’s imagination to British Colonial style ($75; W-405). The fashion emerged as Great Britain colonized multiple countries from the 1700s to the early 1900s. British Colonial encompasses travel-inspired interiors that reflect a blend of refined British style and what was then considered “exotic” – i.e., furniture made of natural materials in Africa, India, Asia and the Caribbean. This half-moon table perfectly embodies the British Colonial look – all that’s missing are leather trunks, campaign chests and at least one collapsible writing desk.

AUDUBON ART

This print is a copy of the John James Audubon hand-colored lithograph entitled “Columbian Day-Owl” ($75; Booth W-405). It depicts two Columbian Day-Owls perched on tree limbs and was originally in Audubon’s “Birds of America.” The wooden 17-by-20 frame enhances the print. This piece would be a fabulous gift for that nature lover in your life.
