Silver Hippopotamus LLC
Industrial/Modern Furniture & Artifacts

Co-Founders: Beth Scanlon Melfi and Kathy Scanlon McGovern
Two sisters who are passionate about industrial/modern design. There are stories in the people, what they made and what they left behind. Tools of industry can become works of art on their own. Our passion at Silver Hippopotamus is to discover authentic artifacts. We love th

e hunt, the unearthing, the investigation into an object’s history. The patina of age, the strength of construction, the simplicity of design…that’s what excites us! Our gallery is open by appointment. Please call 401 258-2745 for hours and event information.

Not sure how to move forward in these days. I had trouble focusing on anything today. I decided to take drive, clear my mind, take a breath and visit a small business in my area that I had never gone to before. In that small moment it helped heal my heart, even just a little bit. I met a small business owner doing such a beautiful job. It gave me hope. There are wonderful people among us. We can’t stop looking for the light in all this darkness.
