That kind of artful furniture is often featured in League stores here, and the cities don't have to be that large. Portsmouth has several shops that carry that sort of thing, and I know of at least one in Manchester. (Both in NH.) And there are also many stores that carry that sort of thing in North Conway. I think there might even be a store like that in Dover, hardly the cultural center of the US.
You wouldn't be able to sell in League stores, because you need to live within 10 mi of the NH border, but there are many other stores of that sort. Shipping could be a problem, but if you can get past that hurdle, I'd recommend contacting the owner of this gallery:

The Muffin Man and I got our wedding rings there many years ago. I generally make a point of stopping in there when I'm in Portsmouth, even though I can't afford most of the beautiful things there.
