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 the 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.

Here is the fire screen turned into an easel. I just rested this beautiful painting by Miroslav Lovric onto the back so no damage was done to the screen. I think it makes a great alternative to hanging a painting on a wall. Do you agree?

Antique Fire Screen. Beautiful piece from Four Echoes Vintage Shoppe in Seekonk MA. I think it could be a great easel for those of us running out of wall space.
