Greetings from Architectural Artifacts, Inc.!

Stuart has been extra busy recently, traversing the globe -- the storied Paris markets, hidden Buenos Aires side streets, tiny villages in Bali, etc. -- to discover fabulous and unusual treasures for you.

Recent economic developments have spurred lots of people to sell lots of cool stuff, including liquidations of large private collections. Taking advantage of this, Stuart has been racing across this great land of ours, with a 'desire to acquire' fueling his buying sprees from Alameda to Andover and points in-between.

This means we've got tons of great new additions to our inventory, which we've been busy prepping for your pleasure here in our massive Chicago showroom complex.

Quite a few huge truckloads have arrived in just the past few weeks, loaded to bursting with fantastic rustic farm tables; French iron planters; great cabinets; terrific iron doors; beautiful mid-century lighting fixtures; an incredible carved wood angel; more ironwork from the estate of Jose Thenee (Argentina's 'national ironworker'); and of course, plenty of Stuart's trademark off-beat gems, such as: a super-cool 1950's truck-drawn, seven-horse carousel;  a great selection of vintage glass/metal English pub signage, odd industrial relics, and much more.

We've got 80,000 square-feet full of exquisite and/or funky pieces to make your own surroundings truly special. A tremendous array of beautiful fireplace mantels, carved stone and terra cotta, tables to suit every taste, fantastic doors, stained glass windows galore, a huge selection of antique tiles, cool industrial finds, period garden ornaments and other extraordinary furnishings for your home, office or business.

Have a look at our website for examples of these terrific items, but remember: only a small fraction of our massive inventory is online, so please contact us if you don't see what you're looking for -- we're sure to have something special to meet your needs.

For those paying close attention: As a special bonus, simply mention this email and receive 20%-off of your purchase (in-store or via our website) made within the next 10 days (September 19-28) -- What better way to give the economy a boost and satisfy your own desire at the same time?!

We're open 7 days a week, 10am-5pm and our website is available anytime.

Wishing you well,

All of us at Architectural Artifacts, Inc.
