Clocks by Lahar Broadway

Sometimes, walking through Rustica Home Furnishings can feel a bit like living out the Tell-Tale Heart. That incessant ticking!

It could be that only one of us has a guilty conscience, or it could be that you simply lack a clock of your own. If this is the case, a trip to Rustica will let you have the chance to see the timepieces handcrafted by Lahar Broadway, another friend of LagNmoor.

These clocks and watches keep real time, as well as including a scripted menu where you may select your time zone, whether or not you want bling (particularly for watches) and include realistic sounds that can be turned on or off.


Within the walls of Rustica, you have the opportunity to view many of Lahar's designs within the various furniture designs, to get an idea of how they would fit into your decor. The rich colors and realistic textures alone add beauty to a room, but the fact that they really work makes each one an excellent purchase. Grandfather clocks, wall clocks, mantle clocks, the list goes on!

Available in Lahar's own store are watches for men and women. These pieces have the same scripted options as the larger clocks, but of course are wearable and fashionable.

Also available in his store are a few more clock variations including a cuckoo clock!

We hope to see you soon at Rustica Home Furnishings!

The Thin Line


Now that the holidays are over, most of us are left with bare living rooms and walls devoid of cheer. Maxwell Graf, owner and builder at Rustica, would like to wish everyone a early "Happy Anti-Valentines Day," and offers up this sculpture, the Thin Line.

A feat of sculpted prim design, this heart can be your public statement of hurt, pain, or anti-Valentines sentiments. Note the shadows, one of the elements adding beauty and realism to the work.


When you come by Rustica Home Furnishings to check the sculpture out (3rd floor), you may sneak a peek at the new Metropolitan Collection, coming soon at Rustica!

Technicolor Drapes!


After you have acquired all the furniture and art you need for your place of residence (meadow, castle, hotel, skybox, or cemetary), you may discover you still need some adornment for the walls.

A trip to Rustica Home Furnishings to look at the Technicolor Drapes might have you exclaiming, "WTFOMG these drapes really work!" because, well, they do.

Available in multiple size and style options, each set of drapes comes with color changing options similar to the rest of the Technicolor Collection. These color options are not merely solid colors, but beautifully handcrafted with textures designed specifically for these pieces. And while they will work nicely with other pieces from the Technicolor Collection, these luscious textures and colors will integrate nicely with any furniture and home designs.

There are three settings to the Technicolor Drapes, all made by the tassel pulls - solid curtains, sheer curtains, or completely open. This allows you the ultimate flexibility in your home or establishment, including offering an easy way to provide access to doors or windows that you might not always wish to display.

And yes, they really work. Come to Rustica to test out multiple models on our sales floor.

Cafe Du Blonde Gossip Bench

The Moment Unfolds...coffee flavored whispers... quiet shared laughter... promises spoken as light as a dandelion parachute released on the wind… yet with a depth of the quiet blue Pacific. Friendships form and love grows...

All these things and more unfold on the Cafe Du Blonde gossip bench. Designer Maxwell Graf wants to introduce the old world charm of the tete 'a tete into all our lives. This buttery soft leather bench with dual seating allows such a meeting to take place. Also known as a Vis~A~Vis, this seating accommodates private conversations and interviews to take place.


The dictionary defines conversation as : association or social intercourse; intimate acquaintance. For a successful conversation, the partners must achieve a workable balance of contributions. A successful conversation includes mutually interesting connections between the speakers or things that the speakers know.

"The fact that you can sit and chat, be close and share, look into each other's eyes and flirt with passionate dialogue is the draw of this collection piece"

Every patio, every boudoir every zen spot would be perfectly matched to this conversational promoter.

Come.. Sit.. Chat...Become the proud owner of this timeless designer piece - The Café Du Blonde Gossip Bench courtesy of Maxwell Graf. Only at Rustica Home Furnishings.
