These European Bosch front-load units are small enough to fit under a countertop (they're only 34" tall), or stack nicely, as shown here in this custom built-in cabinet (not available).  The units measure 23" W x 24" deep.  The washer uses HE (high efficiency) detergent only, found at Target.  Bosch makes the cadillac of washers, able to handle the gentlest hand-wash cycle or heavy soiling with equal ease.  Originally $1,723 together, now asking $999, sold only as a pair.  NOTE: I am still using these units until I move (about 45 days longer), but can take a 50% deposit to hold them (will provide a bill of sale) and will call two weeks prior to my departure for final pick-up.

This charming French country chick hatchery is the real thing, not a re-created display piece.  The metal at right is part of the plumbing that hooked up the hot water supply to the interior water pan, warming the eggs in the tray drawer below while also keeping warm the newly-born chicks in the screened compartment above (the carved mother hen at top is sitting atop a collection of eggs).  Extremely rare and in excellent condition.  Originally purchased for $800, now asking $350.

These French country kitchen counter stools (meant for a standard 36" countertop height) boast a distressed-paint finish and cane-rush seating with French Indienne-fabric reversible cushions.  The sliding coaster feet keep your floors in good shape.  Sold as a set only, all three stools and cushions for only $250.

This extremely rare piece was just one of probably six child's metal carousel swings from a French traveling carousel.  The swing was held by a chain from the bolts in the center, and each side of the swing boasts a tiny wooden seat (French children apparently had no obesity problems!).  The slatted bottom allowed rainwater to pass through.  Absolutely charming, and a real conversation piece, we used it as a planter holder (holding plants instead of children in the little seats).  Originally purchased for $900, now asking $400.

A must-have for World Travelers and Latin lovers, this Old World tapestry is from French company Pierre Deux and hangs on a display rod from the Antique Drapery Rod company, known for their premier European-style hardware line.  Tapestry measures 74" wide x 52" tall.  Selling the tapestry, rod and brackets together, now asking $350 for the set.

This is what Grand-pere dusted off every four weeks for his monthly bath, whether he needed it or not.  The Grand-pere who owned this luxury, two-ply zinc "Slipper Tub" was apparently rich, for this is a very rare model that included widened armrests in addition to the raised back.  We've drilled holes in the bottom and used it as a planter near the outdoor hot tub-- it also makes a good learning tool for kids who think their jacuzzi is too small..!  Now asking $150.
