You can’t tell until you get right up on it that this fancy Armchair — which you’d swear to God is made of solid, rock hard Marble — is in fact upholstered in a satin-like textile which has been digitally screen-printed to resemble marble. Oh, the cleverness.

The Seattle Antiques Market is a fun place to buy or just browse a huge variety of antiques, vintage goods and mid-century design items that’s located adjacent to the waterfront.
