Ceph Furniture...

This is an odd little piece from www.billyjoe.com. It is a metal bath plug not for the faint of heart.

I know what you're thinking...What's a fictional mirror other than what Alice used?

Well as I have previously stated, there is some wonderful ceph inspired art and furniture in Nemo's sub in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. In the background one can see Nemo's ceph infatuation in a mirror in one of the stateroom's inhabited by a one Dr. Jeckyl.

It's wonderful and Victorian with long golden tentacles an shaped mantles along the rim.

I think I'll pull out my scroll saw this weekend...

I am almost loathe to put this up as to the mad dash this may create. Though I do love their logo of a tentacle holding a two-olive martini glass.

I found a site called www.kthulhukitsch.com. They have a few wacky things including prayer type candles to ward of destruction, some trinkets, and this little box.

Another little box to decorate one's desk or end table.

I found this at a site called www.eurekaifoundit.com. It is suppossedly handcarved and is a bit unique.

Now here is something special.

It is from Sparks Steel Art Gallery; and it makes me want to design my own.

Wow,

I found these at www.gaylebright.com. They are pricey at $108 a tile (12" x 12"), but if you really, really want to decorate with that extra flair...

Look at this thing.

It's an odd one, but a nice find. You can get it from www.waxbing.com.

This "jar" is a vase by Michael Anderson.

Personally, though I cannot afford it, it is one of my favorites. Notice how it becomes 3-D. The painted and slightly raised armes on the jar rise up into the lid which sports a full mantle as a handle.

This is a great frame.

It is from Disney and is a part of their 20,000 Leagues shop. It of course looks like a big piece of machinery, with a black and menacing squid on deck.

Furniture? Maybe not, but at least some type of home decor for the musician who's ready to rock the Seven Sea!

This is a great one of a kind harp I found an image of online. It has a number of creatures from the deadly depths in its spine, but our most notable is the octo at the bottom.

**Donnerboy** · Sep 13, '06, 9:44am

Here is another table by master ceph artist Chris Barela.

Smaller than the previous one, but I really like it. The octo is lifted and it implies a lot more movement.

**Donnerboy** · Sep 14, '06, 9:43am

I love this piece, though there has never been any detail how to get one. It was simply a pic outside of someone's home.

I love this octo that appreantly has decided to sun himself on a rock, ...in a garden, ...miles away from any natural water source.

**Donnerboy** · Sep 15, '06, 11:50am

Not a for sale piece, I found this pic of an octo table from a gallery in Florida.

I am curious about it even though it is not my favorite ceph table that I have seen. This one supposedly had a rubbery texture to it.

**Donnerboy** · Sep 19, '06, 12:03pm

This is a great item that really struck me the first time I saw it.

The sculpture art is not that impressive, but its simplicity leaves more room for the imagination to fill in the gap and less to bother someone who may be eating off of it.

**Donnerboy** · Sep 20, '06, 12:52pm

This is an odd set probably never to be seen again.

It was way, way, WAY out of my price range, but was a silver tea set with seal life and ceph along it in decoration.

Look at the different views of the handle and the squid's mantle.

**Donnerboy** · Sep 22, '06, 3:46pm

This is the oddest piece I have seen, or at least as a whole...

It is a cap for a bottle. Apparently a series of these Japanese Monster Movie caps were released including Kong as he faced off with Godzilla once.

I have considered getting it just to be able to keep it on my water bottle.

I've got that one (somewhere)! I was always a bit disturbed by the giant octopus attack in King Kong versus Godzilla as the octopus is a real one - out of the water - in closeups.

Erich,

Do you know where you got it? I want one, but this guy wants about $5.00 for it (fair), and $5.00 for shipping a bottle cap that weighs about 4 oz's. (insane).

**Donnerboy** · Sep 25, '06, 11:15am

I am not sure what this is exactly, but it chaps my ...buttocks.

First of all, the site that had it is impossible to find. It was all of $8.00 and I wish I had gotten it when I had the chance. Secondly, it was at a site that was for bridal pieces. Seriously. Third, just what is it? It seems to be a tin, in the shape of a heart, with an octo in relief.

It just seems to fit together like chicken and waffles.

It makes my brain hurt.

I know, I know...

Some of these might not be furniture so to speak; but the term is wide open. I use it in terms of yes, the physical nature of what we can sit and eat on, but also the physical things we might have and display about the house.

This is one of couple of octo-thimbles I have seen. It is the better of the two by far.
