Here you see photos of a London Pub, The Old Queens Head, designed with many decorative sustainable items from architectural antique sources all over the world. Riz Shaikh, owner, and seasoned head designer of the Colombo Group with an eye for detail, envisioned a speakeasy design with warm sepia tones. He sourced decorative ceramic tiles, wooden paneling and wainscoting, fireplace mantels, elegant chandeliers, and church stained glass windows.
He chose Olde Good Things for multiple huge 4 ft wide chandeliers and decorative slag stained glass to create the warm ambiance seen in these photos. These multi-arm slag glass and bronze chandeliers once graced the banquet room of the famous International Toy Center at 200 Fifth Avenue, which now houses the famous Italian market Eataly. The ceiling and partition walls, as well as the decorative amber-toned stained glass that decorates the back bar, were reclaimed from a Presbyterian Church, The Church on the Edge, in Northern New Jersey. The dark-tone wood paneling adds warmth to his design. As seasoned designers know, the original patina is the key to its authenticity.
