PROVENANCE & PIECES

The Silent Storytellers of the Ridge"In a home built with intention, every surface has a history. These are the objects we’ve carried across provinces and salvaged from forgotten corners—now settled into their forever home." Click on the Pictures for the full blog post on each storied piece.

The Cross-Country Cast Iron Table (St. John’s, NL)

THE HARBOUR MASTER’S ANCHOR
Circa 1880–1910 | Newfoundland to the Alberta Ridge

"Gifted to me twenty years ago, this cast-iron beauty began its journey in the attic of a Harbour Master’s home in St. John’s, Newfoundland. We carried this beautiful piece across the continent in a truck camper—a true traveling relic that has finally found its forever home overlooking the Jasper hills."
The Details: A hallmark of Late Victorian decorative casting, the stylized acanthus leaf at the base suggests a history in the merchant counters or storied pubs of the East Coast. Its original deep grained mahogany top is still as beautiful. This table stands as a marriage of Atlantic history and Western grit.

Burl Wood Table

Intricate grain patterns curl through this burl wood tabletop like swirling smoke — each knot and twist a mark of nature’s artistry. A piece that feels alive, timeless, and completely one-of-a-kind.

1920s Crock Table with Resin Art (Local Collaboration)

Once a utilitarian 5-gallon crock from the 1920s, now transformed into an eye-catching side table. Topped with original resin art by a local Alberta artist, this table bridges heritage and handmade expression in the most unexpected way.

Glass-Top Stump Side Table 

A hollowed-out tree stump, repurposed and preserved with a glass top. Nature’s sculpture given new life — raw, grounded, and organic. A reminder of the forest’s quiet strength.

THE NASH ANTIQUEIndustrial Salvage | Circa 1940s
"A relic of mid-century commerce, this original Nash coffee bin was salvaged from a 1940s general store. Now repurposed as a unique coffee table, it brings a sense of industrial nostalgia to the ridge. We’ve preserved its character—the worn metal, the vintage branding—to serve as a reminder that the most beautiful pieces in a home are often the ones that have already lived a full life elsewhere."

Birds Eye

Birds Eye Maple “Cookie” TableA stunning cross-cut slab of birds eye maple — or a “cookie” — sits atop iron hairpin legs. Its natural rings hold decades of growth, turned into a tabletop that captures both movement and stillness.

THE VOYAGEUR PIECE A Tribute to the Canadian Wild
"This is a conversation between the wilderness and the lodge. Crafted like an authentic birch bark canoe, the genuine beaver pelt sits on the edge, creating a tactile experience that honours the history of the land we stand on. It’s more than a table; it’s a centerpiece of Canadian heritage, bridging the gap between the rugged survival of the past and the intentional design of our home."
