I thought the pepper mill collection were part of a chess set. I would snap it up in an instant it they were... :(
I also thought they were chess pieces! I would snap them up anyways if I had the money...
I think my mother used to have those salt and pepper shakers. I won't tell her that they're worth something now. I think she threw them out a long time ago.
Wow the prices are pretty steep for all these items! Way out of my budget!
Robert Venturi is a hack! That dining set is horrendous.
I love those Dansk peppermills.
