I thought I would share some of the beautiful finds I saw last December when my friend Alexis and I visited Cleveland’s Antique Row.
Many of these things are architectural salvage from the grand old homes that used to exist in the area.
A custom chair made with leather and animal tusks
The writing on the glass says, “Forsake Not the Assembling of Yourselves Together”
Gives you an idea of how cluttered and chaotic these shops are!
Difficult to see but this is a lighted newel post in front of a stained glass window
Individual ceiling tiles (the shop owner is showing how they originally fit together)
Bonus: from Lakewood, Ohio’s Madison Avenue shops, which are slightly more eccentric!
An unopened bottle of a facial cream containing mercury to get rid of pesky spider veins and broken capillaries
If I remember correctly, this is a prescription for cocaine
A taxidermied sheep
