Beyond an unassuming exterior, a treasure of woodwork that ...
QUINCY -- Like an unadorned jewelry box that offers no hint of the treasures within, this squat bungalow presents a beguilingly simple exterior. But take a peek inside and prepare to be dazzled. The stained glass windows, the fireplaces, even the radiator covers -- mahogany and marble -- are striking, but it's the woodwork that is incomparable. Intricately carved corbels reminiscent of a ship's figurehead and hand-carved wainscot panels embellish several rooms. "It's pretty spectacular," said Tiffany Kelly, sales coordinator for The Quantum Group/Daisher-Chiles Cos. , which renovated and is selling the house. Neighbors told her that the original owner, a financier, salvaged woodwork from banks as they failed in the 1920s. A den features the most impressive woodwork, including matching female figures with lamps atop their heads, young boys carved into either side of the massive fireplace, hunting scenes with a wolf's head, boar's head, fish and fowl, and a series of motifs such as musical instruments and a cornucopia encircling the room.
The Grenadier's Oil Lamp
Crafted from genuine surplus grenades, Elseware's latest oil lamp offers a wonderfully unnerving experience for one's guests, especially if you claim to have just got it from eBay and say that it's the first time you've lit it. That said, the gold- or silver-plated editions don't quite carry the same menace as the pitch-black original. What next, Swarovsky crystal-studded bayonet bookmarks? A defused landmine paperweight with sequins and lace trim? Paying $50 for these will make quite a blast in your wallet, however, so perhaps get the emptied grenade for $7 here or, indeed, from eBay, then grab one of those Mason-jar oil and wick craft sets from Hobby Lobby for $5. Homemade fun with decommissioned weaponry and naked flame! Hand Grenade Oil Lamp [Elsewares] .
