I know, I know.  The Coolest is supposed to run on Monday.  I can’t explain it – I lost almost a week in here somewhere.  However I will try to make it up to you by sharing the best piece of industrial furniture we have found in quite a while. 

This 19^th c. worktable came out of a elderly printer’s shop in Virginia some 15 years ago, and has been tucked away in an upstate NY shed ever since.  It has a wooden base, with massive 4″ square chamfered legs and a big drawer that pulls from either side of the table.  But its best feature is the worn soapstone top wearing its fabulous authentic patina with pride.  This thing rocks!

It would be fabulous in an artist’s studio or as a fixture in a retail environment, but it is just crying out to become a kitchen island – with its stone work surface and shelves for pots and lids underneath. 

 So come on down to our shop in Hudson NY – Warren Street Antiques - and check it out for yourself.  I have included a few pictures of other items in the shop to entice you.
