Into the Wild Green Yonder

We're Bond & Bowery, a website with the most diverse selection of antiques, design, and fine art in cyberspace. We highlight quality pieces without the clutter of competing ads and excessive editorial content. B & B understands the importance of a valuable acquisition and its contribution to home decoration.

Your B & B Host: I'm George Evans, and I've spent the last 20 years importing and exporting antiques and fine design pieces from Europe. I'm a New York City dealer and I have two showrooms in Lambertville, New Jersey.

This week we're bringing you View E, a 1986 oil on canvas by artist Peter Nadin. This compelling abstract comes to us from Larry Sirolli Fine Art at 38 West 26th Street, 7A, in New York City.

The work was part of the artist's Views series of six paintings, included in a March 1992 exhibition at the Yale Center for British Art (New Haven, CT) entitled Recent Works and Notes on Six Series of Paintings by Peter Nadin.

Use this beautiful abstract to enliven your living room, as James Rixner did in his living room for the 2007 Kips Bay Decorator Show House. Rixner artfully paired Perry Burns' Cosmos III with a heavenly Paley Sofa.

We think Peter Nadin's View E would look great in your home art collection, too. For a more in-depth discussion about Peter Nadin, see my By George! interview with Design2Share. And visit Bond & Bowery for the item detail page on this work of art.

This week we're bringing you a Gilded Clock Face, from Marston Luce Antiques at 1651 Wisconsin Avenue NW in Washington, DC. This 19th century European clock face features gilded roman numerals and intact hour and minute hands, a black painted face, and an impressive 29-inch diameter.

European clock faces have been all the rage in home decorating. They add large scale to any room, like this wall clock on the cover of Veranda magazine, a piece from David Teague and America Designs in beautiful Lambertville, NJ.

We think our Gilded Clock Face would look great in your home, too. For a more in-depth discussion about European clockfaces, see my By George! interview with Design2Share. And visit Bond & Bowery for the item detail page on this beautifully-scaled decor piece.
