Weird. Scary. Cool. Delightful.

The wonderful online antiques resource 1stdibs always brings me joy.  Whether I'm salivating over pristine English furniture or Aubusson carpets, I always have a great time on the site.  

But sometimes the joy comes from gawking at the unusual pieces that catch my attention and make me smile wide.

Late 19th Century Prosthetic Hand with Leather Glove
Prosthetic hand from the late 19th century.  Leather glove included, because who wants a naked prosthetic hand?   
Delight yourself sometime by browsing the 'Other Categories' section of the site.  1stdibs presents more than 1,200 dealers' wares.  Many of these weird wares get me thinking of a room that I want to design around one item.  For example, how awesome would it be to have that huge metal monkey standing in the center of a foyer, greeting homeowners and freaking out guests.  Love it!

Cheers,
Whitney
