French Zinc Bottle Drying Rack with Prestigious French Wine Bottles

French Zinc Bottle Drying Rack with Prestigious French Wine Bottles

Originally used to dry wine bottles for reuse, this zinc rack is a particularly nice size and form and, with the addition of multiple empty French wine bottles, some with very good vintages (included in the price), can easily be converted into a fabulous and unique chandelier for your high-ceilinged kitchen or wine cellar. Alternatively, use it on the ground with our wine bottles as a conversation piece. It also makes a quirky and fun shoe rack and can be left outside year-round so those muddy boots never touch your floors. The patina of zinc continues to evolve over the years when left outside and it turns a stunning silvery-blue color. Approximate weight of the rack is 40 lbs. (but the bottles weigh about 50 lbs. more) and the rack has integral chains for suspending it which can be removed if you like.

Pair French Nautical Oak Candelabra with Drinking Glasses/Candle Holders

Pair French Nautical Oak Candelabra with Drinking Glasses/Candle Holders

Occasionally we find wild and wonderful things on our buying trips and these are particularly enticing. Made from oak barrel staves and integral plexiglas stands on either end, each candelabrum features 6 weighted and stemmed drinking glasses that won’t spill during a patch of rough water. And since most of our clients are not seafaring types, we have put short candles in each glass to make a very special tabletop display. Place them end-to-end on your large dining table for a special conversation piece that is also utilitarian. Or bring them aboard your yacht and break open a bottle of bubbly. Please note that the height of the candelabra with the glasses is 8 inches, but the height of the oak stave holder is 5.63 inches. Lastly, most of the glasses show a line of etching inside that does not detract from look or functionality.

French Terracotta Chimney Topper Garden Lantern

French Terracotta Chimney Topper Garden Lantern

Occasionally we find nicely patinated chimney toppers in France and this is an unusual one because it has an incised heart. In very good condition with weathering and some lichen, it has a few minor chips. Place a pillar candle on a saucer inside and voila!, a beautiful and unusual lighting accent for your table, inside or out.

Pair of Tall French Wrought Iron Candelabra with Leaf Motif

Pair of Tall French Wrought Iron Candelabra with Leaf Motif

These leaf-motif candelabra are simply stunning. In an old rusty surface with traces of gilding on some leaves, they would be magnificent converted into standing lamps with large cylindrical shades. Their detail is exceptional and their presence commanding. The prickets in the middle of the leaves can accept fat candles and the top could also be cut and prickets installed for a dominating pair of candle-lit pieces in any large room.

We love the creativity and uniqueness of these tabletop candelabra. Made from the staves of French oak wine barrels, each one is wine-stained on the underside and smoothly-sanded on the visible side. Each stave has five holes that accept votive candle holders for a simple, modern twist on tabletop lighting. Candle holders included in price.

French 18th C Standing Oak Candelabrum

French 18th C Standing Oak Candelabrum

This remarkable hand-turned, carved, and pegged oak candelabrum has been stripped of its old paint to reveal a wonderful patina reminiscent of limed oak. The 13 hand-whittled candle prickets are fully functional. This piece makes a bold architectural statement and mixes wonderfully with spare contemporary steel and glass furnishings, as well as with more traditional looks. A very old repair to the trifid base that came apart during shipping has now been re-pegged and securely glued for a barely visible repair.
