The Deal: Up to 40% off on hand-crafted art and furniture at Atmosphere

Marcelle Danan, designer and co-owner of Atmostphere, has an eye for dramatic sculptural pieces and decorative accessories that tip their hat to Mother Nature. One example: The blackened brass tree, above left, which is blooming with 24-karat gold leafed florets. After being plucked from the store's collection of hand-wrought pieces to appear in an upcoming Steve Carrell comedy, it is now back in the shop and has been reduced 40% in a storewide sale that runs through Feb. 15. 

OK, so that means it's $12,000 instead of $20,000, but there are plenty of uncommon items that don't require movie star salaries. 

A 4-foot square ebony-stained teak coffee table with saber legs (above, at right) has been slashed from $1,500 to $900. The 6-foot teak bench is reduced 20% from $1,725 to $1,380. The non-tarnish nickel-plated hammered copper jars, vases, trays and tea set are now $240 to $760. A wide range of petrified wood slabs are marked down 20%. (See more sale items after the jump)

Indonesian urns, below, covered in 24 karat gold leaf are reduced 40% and now cost $3,120 and $5,700 depending on size. The 51-inch round teak wall hangings, one carved like a sun dial, the other paved with stones, are discounted from $2,300 to $1,380 each.

Side tables covered in mother of pearl with a slim pull-out drawer, seen below, are on sale for $2,880 each, marked down from $3,600.
