Sofie Cocktail Table revives French Moderne design for modern living
Our new Sofie Cocktail Table revives French Moderne design for modern living. The stirrup stretcher sturdily anchors the table base, and we developed a new gold leaf finish based on the beautifully aged gold leaf finish of an antique gilded bronze finial from our collection of objects & artifacts. We recreated that finish on this new table base, and topped it with a strikingly glamorous inset black glass top.
The Sofie Cocktail Table measures 48″ wide by 24″ deep by 20″ high, and is finished in our French gold leaf.
The Serpentine Bed
Hold on tight: curves ahead! Our new Serpentine Bed has a 70”high headboard and is finished in our new Venetian gold leaf finish. The repeating arabesques of the bedframe were inspired by a wrought iron door on the front of a Parisian shop. It is available in all sizes; queen size is shown.

The Redfern Chandelier, a new chandelier for the new year!
We are ringing in the new year with the Redfern Chandelier, our adorable first lighting introduction for 2012! Joe Niermann found an antique chandelier made of ice tongs with floral iron embellishments in an antique shop years ago, and he kept the curved forms in the back of his head. With more requests for smaller fixtures, we thought it was the perfect time to pull this idea to the front with the creation of the Redfern Chandelier.
The fixture has six lights, measures 21.5 diameter by 19 high, and is shown in our Parisian gold leaf finish.
Introducing the Marsan Side Chair
The curving spoon back of our new Marsan Side Chair is enhanced with hand-turned knobs at the seat and by a slight break in the legs’ line. This elegant profile provides comfortable support as a dining or occasional chair, and the subtle carved details keeps the eye’s focus on the architectural symmetry of the design.
The chair measures 21.5”w x 26.5”d x 40.5h”, and is shown in our Carelian walnut finish.

Niermann Weeks Introduces the Verona Cabinet
The Verona Cabinet combines restraint in its simple shape with exuberance in its finish. Layers of antique whites and creams serve as a counterpoint to the delicate linear panels inset into the façade. The distressed gold leaf finish on the door panels and decorative brass banding around the top further enhance the warmth of the finish.
The cabinet measures 35.5”w x 20”d x 32.25”h, and is finished in our new Carrara white & gold leaf finish.
Presenting the elegant curves of our new Scroll Console
The elegant legs of our Scroll Console connect in inter-arching curves of hand-forged steel. We highlighted the metal base with a faux gilded bronze finish, and painted the planked wooden top in our well-worn Polonaise white finish. The console measures 50.75” wide by 25.75” deep by 32.5” high.
Introducing the Trianon Chandelier
Light reflects around and through the Trianon Chandelier’s composition of curves, highlighted by strings of graduated round crystals and an warmly patinated silver leaf finish. Small sprays of crystal florets flare out underneath the domed top add a touch of whimsy.
The chandelier measures 30” diameter by 39” high, and is shown in our new Distressed silver leaf finish.
Our new Palissy Lantern brings sparkle to the spring
During an antiquing trip to France, we spotted a wonderful antique lantern which inspired us to create our new Palissy Lantern. We offer this lantern in a traditional French shape which includes eight lights, four projecting out from the frame and another four shimmering inside. The glass curtain is composed of vertical rows of thin glass tubing, lightly silver-leafed inside the fixture, to lend shimmer to the overall effect.
The lantern measures 30.25” diameter by 30.25” high with 8 lights, and is shown in our Baroque gold leaf finish.

Dominique Ceiling Fixture
Joe Niermann created the Dominique Ceiling Fixture after admiring a swirling art deco stair railing in a home in Paris. He simplified the silhouette and punctuated its interior space with crystal balls. The arms form a stylized fleur de lys motif and alternate high and low, casting intriguing golden shadows.
The ceiling fixture measures 24″ diameter by 16″ high with six lights and is shown in our Gilt Rust finish.
Bergerac Floor Lamp
With its bold silhouette, expressive curves and golden finish, our new Bergerac Floor Lamp brings elegant light into any décor. We found our inspiration in the Paris flea market for the restrained simplicity of our starburst top, reminiscent of the new designs that emerged in 1940′s France.
The Bergerac Floor Lamp measures 20 dia x 69 high with the shade, and is shown in our Distressed gold leaf finish.
Niermann Weeks Presents the Pineapple Coffee Table
We found the original wreck of this table years ago at an antique shop in Palm Beach. The poor table had led a hard life, and its once shiny finish had become battered and chipped. In homage to the original, we kept the thin top and wonderful chunky legs that resembled a pineapple’s outer skin. Our table is made of oak, brushed away and over-painted to reflect the essential durability of this wonderful table. Only later did we discover that Jean-Michel Frank, the modern French master of design, created the original. Niermann Weeks is proud to present our re-interpretation of his elegance.
The Pineapple Coffee Table measures 46w x 30d x 18h, and is shown in our Bleached oak finish.
Introducing the Verrocchio Chandelier!
- Verrocchio Chandelier
We developed the design of our Verrocchio Chandelier from an early nineteenth century Italian antique which Joe discovered in a home in Charleston, South Carolina. He increased the size to fit today’s standards and stripped away most of the original superfluous decorative elements to pare the piece down to its essential elements. The resulting Verrocchio Chandelier represents the bold essence of the original antique.
The Verrocchio Chandelier measures 34″ diameter by 33″ high, and it is shown in our new Italian Gold Leaf finish.
Niermann Weeks Introduces the Lucchese Mirror
Lucchese Mirror
The discovery and excavation of ancient Pompeii in the late eighteenth century sparked a revival of all things classical. These timeless motifs adorned almost every imaginable decorative surface, from doors, windows, and wall panels to chairs, tables, and fireplace surrounds, and they marked the beginning of the neo-classical era. We found a particularly wonderful collection of period engravings by the architect Michelangelo Pergolesi, and have translated them onto our Lucchese Mirror frame.
The Lucchese Mirror measures 30″w x 51″h and is shown with light antiqued mirror.

Niermann Weeks' Coquille Chandelier
Niermann Weeks introduces the Coquille Chandelier.
A symphony of curves, this new fixture is finished in a subtle camel & gold leaf finish, highlighting the sinuous structure with splashes of antiqued gold leaf. We then strung delicate cascades of alternating oval and round beads on this elegant framework in rhythmic curves reminiscent of the ridges of a scallop shell.
The chandelier measures 33.75” in diameter by 38.5” high.
Niermann Weeks Introduces the Zinc Lantern, Just in Time for Summer Parties!
Niermann Weeks Zinc Lantern
Zinc Lantern
Niermann Weeks introduces the Zinc Lantern. We took the basic design of our Zinc Wall Lantern and translated it into a classicaly proportioned hanging lantern. We included details from the original antique such as the head of Mercury and perforated top gallery, then took our inspiration for the painted zinc finish from an antique French watering can.

Chester Screen Panel
Niermann Weeks Chester Screen Panel
We found a set of old barn shutters at an antique shop near the Chesapeake Bay and fell in love with their crumbly white texture.
We kept them around for years as a finish reference, and recently used them as a display prop in one of our showrooms. We got some many requests to purchase them that we decided to add them to our line as the Chester Screen Panel.
We’ve faithfully recreated the finish of our old shutters on the new screen, but fortunately without any of the actual flaking paint of the originals!

The Crevecoeur Chandelier is Breaking Hearts for 2010
Niermann Weeks Introduces The Crevecoeur Chandelier New For 2010
New for 2010, Niermann Weeks introduces the Crevecoeur Chandelier.
The Crevecoeur started life as a typical antique chandelier loaded down with tons of goopy crystals. Somehow the frame seemed dynamic enough to make us decide to explore different variations based on the basic frame. Editing and paring away the excess revealed this fixture.
Measuring in at 36″ in diameter an 34″ high with 12 lights, the Crevecoeur Chandelier is shown in our Veronese Silver Leaf finish and available exclusively at Niermann Weeks’ Showrooms.

Niermann Weeks’ Easton Occasional Table – New for 2010
Niermann Weeks Easton Occasional Table is new for 2010
Almost 400 years ago, when the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay was first being colonized, working class Englishmen were making reproductions of classic furniture pieces familiar to them from their home country. While many of these pieces lacked the quality of fabrication of their British counterparts, they did manage to retain their usefulness and charm. We stumbled upon a small occasional table there with a cast iron base and a rotting wood top, and re-imagined it as a true occasional table with the original style and luxury of the English classic pieces returned.
And now Niermann Weeks is introducing the Easton Occasional Table in 2010. Styled after some of the first American furniture, the Easton is a true occasional table, able to be easily moved from one place to another and with a quality and craftsmanship that will last a lifetime. Like all Niermann Weeks’ pieces, the Easton Occasional Table is made in our Maryland factory by American workers and constructed of locally sourced materials. Measuring 29” in diameter and 30” high, the Easton Occasional Table is available in our Southern Walnut finish exclusively at Niermann Weeks’ Showrooms.
