Foo Fighters - Marble Foo Dog Bookends

Dynamic Duo

Foo Dogs (or Lion Dogs in the West) are always depicted in pairs. They are common decorative figures that are believed to protect and watch over whatever structure they are placed in front of. They have traditionally protected Imperial palaces and temples. In modern times, you'll find this dynamic duo perched in front of restaurants and hotels.

This pair of sage marble Foo Dog bookends are intricately carved. Hire them to watch over your precious collection of text books you didn't have the heart to get rid of.

How Many Macaroni Necklaces Must One Mother Endure?

The Answer is None

This year you have made each of your children vow that they won't step near a glue gun on your behalf. Instead, you are going to leave the rugrats with their grandma and treat yourself to french toast and bottomless mimosas.

Once you're filled up with enough bubbles and carbohydrates to power a small tugboat, you can mosey over to Casa Victoria and pick out something you really want. After all, this is your day.

SIT DOWN

This glorious tuxedo couch was made by Glabman Furniture company.

Though it is from the 1970s, the modern, compact style of this sofa would never go out of style.

You Must Be Trippin'

To think, you were waiting your entire youth until the day you were considered a grown up.  You equated adulthood with freedom. Now that you’re here, you feel anything but free. Bills and laundry and deadlines. Can’t you just return to a simpler time when your mind had unlimited expanse? The end of your fingertips were not the end of your reach. A time when melting popsicles, liquifying crayons, and dripping skittles were your biggest obstacles?

This painting is a reminder of that simpler time. Take a trip down memory lane to your colorful youth while staring at this trippy abstract.

Downsizing Feels Good

You swore you would never live in a small space again considering you spent most of your twenties being able to watch your ramen boil on the stove, take a shower and watch SNL all at the same time.

Now that you're living in the city, you'll have to downsize big time. Pieces that are multi purpose are worth their weight in gold. Luckily, you have options.

This 1950s floor lamp is also a magazine holder and a side table. The table is made of wood, the base is made of metal, and the magazine basket is made of vinyl. Set your wine on the table while you scan your latest Martha Stewart Living issue for decorating tips.

Here Fishy, Fishy

While dreams of sugar plums dance in your children’s head all you can think about is your next sushi fix. Sashimi, Spicy Tuna, and California. Any way you roll it, it’s sure to make your mouth water.

This incredible sushi platter was handmade in Japan. The head and tail of the fish are metal and the body/serving tray part of the fish is solid wood. This would make a great housewarming present for sushi lovers or fish enthusiasts.

Not Your Average Lazy Boy

You aren’t fooling anyone. We all know you aren’t making routine phone calls to important clients when you close your door after lunch. Your secret might remain one if you actually saw a doctor about your obnoxious snoring.

We forgive you though. You are a hard worker. You are the first one there in the morning and the last one to leave. You bring potato salad to every single office potluck. You worked hard to get that office with a view of the parking deck, so why not treat yourself to this chocolate gem.

This 1950s chocolate vinyl lounger still has its original upholstery. Pillow is included and automatic recliner is in working condition. Heats and reclines!

Tropical Wood Lamps

Fresh coconut juice to wash down your grilled mahi. You would never have to smell bus exhaust or your co-workers lean cuisine again. You would spend your day marveling at the sunset, watching the tide rise, and falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing.

Since that isn’t going to happen any time soon (what would you tell your Shit-Zsu , Babs?) these lamps can steer you in the right direction, if not in reality than mentally.

This set of 1960s hand carved wooden lamps depicts a tropical landscape complete with palm trees, coconuts and tiki huts.

Vintage Spin to Cliché Gift Giving

 

This holiday season give your finicky friends and family unique, environmentally friendly gifts to go along with the gifts they want most. Casa Victoria has a variety of gift giving options that add a vintage touch to traditional gifting. Casa Victoria has vintage jewelry boxes, globes, book ends, candle sticks and an endless supply of brassy objects. 

 

 

The Book Worm:

Everyone has someone in the family (maybe it is you!) that always has his nose in a book. If it were up to him he’d be stranded on a desert island somewhere surrounded by a mountain of novels, cookbooks for when he gets hungry. All he wants for Christmas this year is a gift card to the biggest bookstore conglomerate. You just don’t have it in your heart to only give him a piece of plastic that expires in 36 months.

Along with the gift card, why not give him a pair of unique bookends from Casa Victoria, like these unparalleled vintage brass impalas.

Could also be used as paperweights.

$149

The Femme Fatale:

There she is, gazing at you from across the room. You try not to let her feminine stare take hold of you too long. You wouldn’t want your buddies to notice. They’d never say your name again unless the word “whipped” preceded it. They don’t have to know that your heart starts beating out of your chest every time she walks into a room.

She swears that she doesn’t want anything “fancy” for Christmas. She’d be happy with a home cooked meal and the new season of Mad Men on DVD. Let her know she means more to you than warm mashed potatoes. Once you buy her the tennis bracelet she ogled from the other side of the Tiffany’s window, head to Casa Victoria and buy her a jewelry box to put in.

Better yet buy her this black and white, mirror topped, 2-drawer, jewelry box. This red velvet-lined, elliptical box will make any mod or Mad Men lover swoon.

$129

The Explorer:

You can’t wait to get to the family gathering at Aunt What’s Her Name’s House. Your cousin will be there and she always has an interesting tale to tell of her recent travels. Having been a Peace Corps member for the last 2 years followed by a 6 month European adventure, she is bound to have some interesting characters to recall.

The way she describes her adventures makes you feel as if you are the one getting drenched with the spray of a precocious elephant calf. If only you paid more attention in World Geography.  You can’t seem to recall where the country is that she describing. Nambibi-what? Give her a gift that will enhance her story telling. Casa Victoria has a variety of globes that would be sure to get her tales spinning.

This particular globe is an official National Geographic Globe from 1961. It sits on an orginal acrylic base.

$49

The Host with the Most:

He loves the holidays because he loves an excuse to host a gathering. He has perfected the 7-layer bean dip and is contemplating adding another layer. He loves seeing friends get together, sip wine and reminisce about the thinner days but mostly he loves the energy of his house when friends are rosy and laughing. He has hosted many parties throughout your friendship.

Most people show up with a bottle of extravagant wine to give as a gift but you’d like to give him something tangible that he can use for parties in years to come. Any innate host understands the importance of good lighting. Casa Victoria has a wide array of candleholders and candelabras for the social butterfly in your inner circle.

This distinguishing candelabra has room for six candles. It is a mid-century, Swedish piece. Pair it with your host’s favorite scented candles and watch him light up with joy.

$95

Kids and Kids at Heart:

Unbridled energy, hearty laugh, and mischievous eyes. She is the kind of kid that could have the world wrapped around her tiny finger but she is too busy slaying dragons and decorating her castle. You know that she is a special child that spends a lot of time in her head.

She truly believes that she is the heroine of her favorite fairy tales with unabashed naiveté. You want to get her something that kindles her sense of wonderment. Few people are aware that Casa Victoria carries unique gifts for children too.

Give her something she can ride off into the sunset on, like this vintage rocking horse. While black beauty’s hair is graying, she still has plenty of years left to ride.
