Thank you for your subscription. I hope you like furniture, because this newsletter is going to cram furniture lore and insight down your throat.

Here’s what to expect:

Content

Snake covers design and furniture. I highlight either vintage and available items, through furniture auctions, or design in the discourse. I like to think Snake highlights canonical or beautiful items, some of which are forgotten, some of which are rightly celebrated.

As a free subscriber, you can expect Auction Observer highlights—the best items available on auction, and occasional dispatches here and there: writing. Paid subscribers get more writing and more listings. (Some info here.) If you’re a writer on Substack who wants to get together, get in touch.

Want a bonus? Here’s my how-to on how to bid on items on auction sites, and how to price them.

About

I started this newsletter in 2014 to write about vintage clothing after selling it at the Brooklyn Flea for a few years and collecting it for a decade; I switched over to furniture and design in 2020. The clothing-era archives are available as a book. I also make merchandise; which can be found on my webstore, and occasionally through my Instagram.

More information can be found on my newsletter’s about page.

Premium Access

This newsletter is best experienced as a paid subscriber. Snake’s full decade-long archive, covering vintage, and every single piece of furniture lore and information for the past five years, is available through a monthly or annual subscription.

Paid subscribers also get private access to my furniture network: I’ve helped find and source everything from sofas to flatware to vases for readers, whether it’s a specific item they love and can’t name or a piece that I haven’t covered in my newsletters—or something physically closer to them.

SUPER HEALTH

I also write another newsletter, Super Health, about dark wellness. Consider subscribing.
