Here are some of my favourite pieces that were in McLain Wiesand's showroom this afternoon. In addition to his own work, David also has a small selection of antiques. Take a look:
A shagreen side table
One of a pair of Chinoiserie-style table lamps
Several klismos-style chairs designed by McLain Wiesand
A selection of heads, including David's signature Medusa heads.
Two Baltimore Chairs, the left one is in progress and the right one is nearly complete.
A beautiful turquoise lamp base with a coral motif.
Bug & David... thanks for sharing your shop with me this afternoon. Always a treat to see you!

Some of the other books I have gotten are America's Queen, The Life of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, by Sarah Bradford; Kennedy Weddings by Jay Mulvaney, with a foreward by Doris Kearns Goodwin; and The Kennedy Curse, by Edward Klein. All very intersting books in their own way.
P.S. I also got a 1971 edition of Living Well is the Best Revenge, the story of Gerald and Sara Murphy, by Calvin Tompkins. I had an 1998 reprint of this, but can't seem to find it. I probably accidentally took it back to the Book Thing when I was doing a sweep of book to take there.
