New item this week is an early 1940s branded “ANGLEPOISE” lamp. Generous size and in original condition this is a British design classic from the early 20th Century.
COLD LAMPIN’
HOT VOODOO
The latest window at M.Goldstein is causing a stir on the Hackney Road. The combination of a 1950s top hat, a 1930s African tribal stool, an exotic plume mounted in the top half of a human skull that can only have been used for some kind of ceremonial purpose has the Eastend mesmerised.
ENGLISH COUNTRY CHAIRS
New in a fine example of late 18th Century English craftsmanship. The smaller short comb-back armchair of elm and beech is an unusual shape not often found. The taller chair is a more extreme example of the comb-back style.
Despite their considerable age there is a modernity to their appearance .
Pull up a chair….
“THUMBS UP!”
Available on our Attire page, new colllection of rare and precious jewelry including earrings, bracelets and necklaces…
NUMBER ONE TED
Nathaniel is obsessed with this man! In fact he wants to be this man. If you see him outside the old headquarters on the Blackfriars Road trying to channel the spirit of Dr Walford Bodie, don’t be at all surprised!
Dr Bodie was a clairvoyant, electrotherapist, pill-pusher, magician, showman and with the most ground breaking quiff (this was 1900), drape jacket and extreme spiv attire for his times.
He was a Ted before anyone had thought of Teds. The signed copy of The Bodie Book that Nathaniel sleeps with has been an inspiration….mental suggestion is now a selling technique at M.Goldstein!
MORE WET THAN DRY
Early 1960s novelty barometer modelled as a pair of beach huts. It hangs on the wall and predicts the weather, very accurately as it happens.
It is such a simple object, made from simple materials, but quirky and desirable. If the weather doeesn’t change soon, Mr Wet’s going to resign!
MACABRE
This French, early 19th Century mannequin head was originally made for shop display but has spent most of her life being used for study in an artist’s studio.
We love her because she’s spooky. Her human hair has become matted over the last hundred years but that just adds to her twisted beauty.

LIGHT FANTASTIC
Our regular customers will have noticed the neon light installations that are featured in the shop interior. Nathaniel has been obsessed with signage and specialist industrial materials for years and this led to him creating these modernist beacons out of light. After completing a number of corporate and private commissions we thought it was time to feature them on our home page. Let there be light…and there was!
