It seems like Blackamoors are everywhere these days.
They come in all shapes but only one color.
This one is on Michelle Nussbaumer's blog. $2800.
Four Blackamoors (two shown) guard the corners at Hutton Wilkinson's place.
My Blackamoor pendant by Corletto that I bought on Etsy. $170.
Important (that always cracks me up) Venetian Blackamoor Mirror at Sotheby's. $321,548.
Blackamoor table at Pariscope. $3,600.
Blackamoor sconces at Dragonette. $9,500.
And MY fancy little blackamoors that I bought last year for a song.
I think they are Venetian polychrome blackamoors. It looks like they used to be lamps.
I tried to have them rewired but the old wires were PLASTERED IN! AHHHHH!
So, I just screwed some brass candle holders in place instead.
The brass candle holders aren't the answer. I'm still looking.
These fancy pants deserve something better, don't ya think?

I just found your blog last week and almost read through the entire thing one day. I love it so much and wanted to tell you. I also nominated you for a little award that I got to pass on over on my blog.

If I were house hunting, I would totally want your house. I still think about that fireplace, but that's not what I'm commenting about--I saw that you're donating a design consultation to Edison's auction. Yay! What should I put down for the value of such a service? I'm super curious to see who will win it and what will you advise, so I hope one of my friends buys it. come to think of it, maybe I should buy it. What would you say about the photomural birch tree forest wall paper I just plastered in the new tv/teen hide out? If you were rendered speechless it would be entirely understandable.
Deletesend me a message or just pass the info along to Livia, and Thank you!

Kate! I love that wallpaper! I hope you put it on every wall!!! I sent Livia the info. Thanks. I doubt you need MY advice!
ReplyDeleteI love those Blackamoors you scored last year! They are so fabulous. There has got to be another way to utilize them as lamps....maybe put them on a lucite base and run the wires through a metal pipe like we see so often. Please keep us posted on what you finally come up with for them.
