Urban Treasures

Though I may not be an antiques expert, I know what I like: Danish teak furniture, low-​slung chairs and loveseats, and retro partyware that reminds me of parties in that our suburban rec room circa 1982. Urban Treasures definitely has some of these gems among its merchandise. For example, a line of glass chip-​and-​dip bowls atop a cabinet caught my eye, so striking, yet practical with the dip bowl that hangs on the rim of the chip bowl.
When I expressed my admiration for them, the gentleman minding the store confirmed that he collected these and other retro serving dishes. Upstairs I found the exact set of condiment dishes that my Mom has been serving sauces with fondue for years (we’re so 70s, my family), as well as a wondrous coffee set with coordinating tray, and those dishes with multiple wells, perfect for setting out an array of peanuts and little crackers.
There were some nice big ticket items as well, including a lovely red corner cabinet on the landing, a red chair-​and-​ottoman set, and a surprisingly comfy brown loveseat. I practically drooled on a Danish teak dining set. Oh yes, and some artworks that would look right at home in the old Brady den, or hanging over the tiki bar of my dreams.
