Great Resource For Antiques and Vintage Finds....The HighBoy

I recently discovered The HighBoy online, and I must admit, I'm like a kid in a candy store ogling the goods. Are you familiar with The HighBoy? If not, stop what you are doing right now and head over there ASAP!

The Highboy is an online shop filled with beautiful antiques and vintage finds. The list of items is pretty extensive so I'll leave it to you to go check it out but I will tell you I am coveting several pieces.

Here is some of my favorites from The HighBoy!

Mid-Century Collection. of Blenko "Pinch" Vases

I adore Blenko glass and keep planning to start a collection. Look at this charming collection of five "Pinch Vases" I found on The Highboy! The colors are so pretty.

Pair Of Murano Lilac Glass Disks Sconces By Vistosi

LIST PRICE $6,999

NET PRICE $5,949

Vintage lighting adds a great element to a room. Wouldn't these Murano glass disks sconces look amazing as the crowning touch of color in a dining room?

Set of Mid-Century Jeweled Decanter

LIST PRICE $225

NET PRICE $191
Lusting after this Mid-century jeweled decanter and six cordial glasses set. Doesn't that decanter look like it could be the abode of " I Dream of Jeanie"? This set would be perfect to style a photo shoot or have elegant drinks with friends.

Mariano Fortuny Scheherazade Lamp 2 Tiers with Metal Ring in Opera Silk with Gold Metalli

LIST PRICE $6,000

NET PRICE $5,100

Fortuny chandeliers have long been a favorite of mine. They are so sculptural and elegant, but very hard to find! This piece would command attention as the focal point in any room.

Set of Four Italian Faux Bamboo Chairs

LIST PRICE $1,650

NET PRICE $1,403

Digging this set of Italian Faux Bamboo Chairs from James and Jeffery Antiques! I might trade my mother-in-law for this set of chairs! Don't you love? I'm teasing about my MIL, but I'll bet I made you laugh, at least I hope I did?

I could totally use these in a breakfast room redo I'm

currently designing.

French Art Moderne Mirrored Cabinet

French Art Moderne Mirrored Cabinet, Two Doors

LIST PRICE $9,418

NET PRICE $8,005

Can you say, "ooh la la"! This french moderne cabinet from Carl Moore Antiques would make a statement anywhere you decide to put it. This piece of furniture is the real deal folks. This cabinet is an example of the true art of "verre eglomise" that is the art of hand painting on the reverse side of the glass before the silvering is applied to transform it into a mirror.

Vintage Mid Century Rattan, Bamboo Four Door Buffet, France circa 1960

LIST PRICE $4,686

NET PRICE $3,983

Louis Vuitton Striped Steamer Trunk Wardrobe circa 1890

LIST PRICE $12,500

NET PRICE $10,625

What a fabulous collection of trunks The Highboy has available. I have always wanted to find a vintage Louis Vuitton trunk to use as the base for a coffee table. This LV trunk is one of several available.

The Highboy is a great resource for designers. Working on a project and need a unique piece to add an element of interest? The HighBoy is a great place to look to find one of a kind pieces. I love the "Make an Offer" option. If you see something you like but feel it is more than you can pay, make an offer. Who knows, maybe they will take it!

I also like the option to shop by category or style. When I source a project I am often looking for a particular piece, but sometimes, I want to be inspired by styles. The Highboy searchability offers both options. If you are shopping for yourself, you can make a wish list to access later. Are you shopping for clients? Try the easy email method to send a picture and description to your favorite client.

The good news is you don't have to be a designer to buy from The HighBoy! Need a few great items to create a designer look? The Highboy can help!

Use the directory to find the category of items you wish to locate, and then shop away! If you are like me, you will be lost for hours perusing the plethora of fine art and antiques at your fingertips!
Isn't it amazing to be able to sit at in your warm and cozy home to buy items that once were hard to find? Gone are the days of scouring damp, cold warehouses, and driving all over town to find that hidden gem! Now you can find interesting pieces at the click of a button! Are you as excited as I am?

Get ready to get more excited!
