New Stock Arrives Daily

Tons of new arrivals this past week! Let’s start with a shipment of reclaimed wood furniture. From our Provence line: coffee tables, and the four drawer one door chest of drawers arrived. From our Irish Coast African Dusk line: small benches, coffee tables, and the servers or small sideboards showed up.

We also got in a new batch of large Tiffany, and a couple of medium Tiffany style table lamps. The butterfly and lighthouse Tiffany style lamps were also restocked.

The most exciting new arrival this past week was a huge batch of replica metal signs. There are a couple of photos below of some of the new ones, but there are lots more in store. During the second lockdown we started noticing a bunch of covid signs on the market. But most of them weren’t very good, so we found some terrific ones that were only available in Europe and brought them to Canada. In addition, many of the new signs we designed ourselves, and will be exclusive to The Barn. Plus, we restocked all the signs that we had previously sold out. We basically have all the signs now.

We don’t usually give previews on this page, but we just got word that a long-awaited container has cleared customs. A huge batch of what we think are terrific replica tin signs will be arriving this week. We are biased because we designed many of them ourselves, during the second lockdown. It was a fun lockdown project. Many of the new signs will be exclusive to The Barn. We will include some photos in next week’s update, once we get them unpacked and out on display.

There is a photo of an Art Deco library newspaper reader table below. This rare piece is kind of like a foosball table, it has handles that you use to turn the newspapers to read them. We didn’t know such a piece existed until we saw this one.

But the exciting news is that the large flatbacks or buffet and hutches are back! A photo is below. We haven’t been able to get the hutches for about five years. The buffets or sideboards, we’ve carried since 2007. Customers have been asking for the hutches for years, and we haven’t been able to get them. Late last year we were able to work out a deal with the factory, and they’ve finally arrived. The funny thing is that we now have lots of hutches, but we are running low on sideboard.

This past week, a huge batch of the very popular pink flamingos arrived. We got a late start on outdoor season this year, with the third lockdown, but everyone seems to be making up for lost time now. A photo is below. We try and stock the flamingos year-round now. Strangely they are popular at Christmas time, because nothing says Christmas like pink flamingos by the tree.

We also got in a huge batch of cups and saucers; a photo is below. This was not a typical batch, there are some rare ones and lots of demitasse. Some are out on display already. The rest will be put out as we make space. There were so many demitasses that we’ve decided to fill an entire curio with just demitasses.

Also, there is a photo below of a collection of items that came from a production called Slumberland. I few of the smaller items are in already, the rest will be in shortly. We are starting to make some space; with such a long closure we are still tight for space.

Well, it’s already been three days since we reopened for instore shopping. So, let’s update some new arrivals, that we’ve yet to mention. These pieces came in during the last few weeks of lockdown. The film and TV business was operating at full steam during the lockdown. They’ve been buying a great deal lately which gave us some space for new arrivals.

We’ve already included photos of a few of these pieces in previous updates. Due to so many new items arriving and the long lockdown, a few items in these updates may be out of order. To make space for new arrivals some items have come in, and then we’ve had to move them into storage to make room for more new arrivals. These items will be brought in again as we make space, that process has already begun. We will now return to weekly updates on new arrivals. These updates will return to simply an accurate recap of what we brought into The Barn over the past week. Everything should be sorted out and back to normal in a couple of weeks.

First, an unusual piece, there is a photo below of a stone boat or stone sledge. It’s pulled by a horse or tractor and used to pull rocks or logs out of a field. This one is circa 1870’s from Huron Perth. So, if you’ve got some boulders that need moving, we’ve got you covered. Please note that you will need to supply your own horse.  

Antique furniture new arrivals included: 5 section mahogany barrister’s bookcase, marble and brass piano lamp stand, two-piece quarter cut oak hall bench and mirror, pair of tall iron wine racks-a photo is below, electric organ and stool, nice walnut tea wagon, large copper stick stand, Canadian made round mahogany French style curio cabinet, round French pedestal lamp table, set of 4 press back chairs, 3 nice gilt mirrors, and a pine secretary desk with leaded glass design.

More antique arrivals included: a pair of gut snow shoes, full-size cast-iron pot belly stove by Moffat, 2 copper boilers, three wood crates-one Pepsi, large brass planter, assorted oil paintings, original milk crate with 12 milk bottles, 45 horse shoes, five branch silver plated candelabra, assorted garden décor, brass lantern, traffic guard light, large wicker basket, pair of brass oil lights, pair of bedroom lamps, pair of living room lamps, and more.

Friday’s the day, we are reopening for instore shopping, round three. We will be open with very limited capacity to allow for social distancing of course.

For those who feel more comfortable shopping by appointment, we are taking appointments for Mondays and Tuesdays, 10am to 5pm. Appointments are not required, if you show up and we are below capacity we will let you in without an appointment. We will be closed on Wednesdays and open 10am to 5pm, Thursday through Sunday, on a first come first serve basis.

I’m going to keep this update brief, since just about everyone should know the drill by now; social distancing, masks, hand sanitizer, the usual.

The Barn is packed, all our warehouses are overflowing, we’re ready to go!

We recently got in a shipment from our Springwater line that included a bunch of bran new items, and new colours. Normally, we would have brought most of this shipment in the building right away. But given the continued closure and the fact that shipments keep arriving, The Barn in full. So, this shipment all went straight into storage. But we figured we could share some details and photos regardless.

There is a new Springwater green called green, go figure. The old green was, and still is called pear. There is a new white called dove, to go along with cotton white, and the original white.

New pieces include: Mask station, Tremblant nightstands, flip top end table, and the Steadman desk.

We put photos of these and more new pieces available for order on our Reproductions page a while back. But these are the first samples to show up.

Some old favorites from this shipment included: six cube high cubby, foyer tables, ladder shelves, tater bins, milk bench, panel coat hooks, Canada flag in pine, small end tables, and occasional tables.

We got a ladder shelf in antique dove, and a panel coat rack in vintage dove to see the new colours. We found out about the new green after this shipment went into production, so a sample in the new green will have to wait until next time. We of course have wood blocks with all the colours instore, which is more helpful when instore shopping is allowed. The wait is almost over. We also got in sample tables in vintage Algonquin, its not a new colour, but we’ve never carried it before.

We received a huge Springwater shipment during the last lockdown. We were only open with limited capacity for a month between lockdowns, plus this new shipment, so our supply of Springwater products has never been better.

After we reopen for instore shopping and pieces start leaving in greater quantity, we will bring in the new Springwater items.
