Pamela Girls
Discovered through a local collector, this rare set of dolls by artist Pamela Weir-Quiton carries a serious pedigree. Originally created for a New York fashion exhibit, “only a couple hundred were ever made, each unique in design,” says John Owens of Rook Modern. After tracking down the artist to hear her story, Owens was captivated by the narrative. The former fashion designer found her true calling in woodworking. “They’re masterfully crafted and would be the envy of any woodworker,” he says of the sculptural conversation starters. $500 each, 2415 Tremont Ave., 216-543-2394, instagram.com/rookmodern
Adrian Pearsall Sofa
This sculptural sofa by Adrian Pearsall stands apart even among the designer’s celebrated work. “It’s the only example of this model we’ve ever seen on the market,” says Ron Higgins of Sweet Modern, whose team is known for restoring Pearsall designs. Created by Pearsall’s Pennsylvania-based Craft Associates, the piece is distinguished by dramatically tall, carved walnut legs. “They were likely too challenging to produce at scale,” Higgins says, explaining why this restored rarity is such an uncommon find. $6,000-$7,000 for a similar piece, 2 N. Summit St., Akron, 330-923-9230, sweetmodern.com
Teak Hi-Fi Stereo Cabinet
This refined cabinet by Danish architect Arne Vodder pairs remarkable provenance with enduring style. “The original owner purchased it directly from the workshop in Denmark while stationed in Europe after World War II,” says John Owens of Rook Modern. With limited production and meticulous craftsmanship, the piece feels more custom commission than catalog item. “We carefully restored the woodwork in-house,” Owens says of preserving the artifact, designed when hi-fi systems were true centerpieces. $4,000, 2415 Tremont Ave., 216-543-2394, instagram.com/rookmodern
