The Weekly Roundup

A new feature here- I did it last week and thought I'd like to keep it up because I'm constantly browsing through all our new catalogues and jotting down my favorite pieces for no apparent reason. Now there's a reason! First up we have this whimsical sculpture. And I bet you can't guess the artist

I would definitely want to use it as a doorstop into the bathroom ;)

There's something oddly tranquil about this sunken ship
