In search of a 20th Century objet d'art or piece of furniture for your home? Troy Seidman has the expertise and selective eye for assisting you in finding the piece you are looking for.
He has worked at Le Musée D’Art Contemporain de Montréal, Todd Merrill Antiques, Galerie Van den Akker and Sotheby’s. Currently he is steadily building his inventory, which focuses on pieces under $2,500, but he will work to help private clients and collectors who are looking for major pieces by canonized designers. The name, Caviar20, is inspired by Troy's love of black lacquer finish and his passion for well crafted, precious, more special, delicacies for the home. I picked out my favorites from his current inventory but he is always adding more! Be sure to sign up for his monthly mailer.

I found one of those HAND-BLOWN SMOKED GLASS VASES designed by JOSEF HOFFMANN in a second hand store about 8 years ago, I think I paid $10.00 for it.
I have a Fornasetti plate. It's just her eyes, nose and mouth and she's smoking a cigarette with fornasetti on the filter. The smoke is trailing up and over her right eye.
I love it. I would love it more if her right eye was closed because of the smoke.
Also... my friend who bought me my plate has her own that is the woman with water all over her face and her hair dripping wet. It's so sensual.
This guy sells some nice Fornastii pieces

The "Handkerchief Chair" is the absolute WORST thing for your back!! Eeeek! I worked for a company that had them everywhere. People preferred to sit on the floor instead. And the chair attracts dirt like a magnet!!
