After selling DoubleClick to Google for $ 3 billion, David Rosenblatt could have ridden board seats and startup investments off into the sunset, never working again.

Instead, Rosenblatt is now the CEO of a New York-based startup called 1stdibs.

1stdibs is an online antiques marketplace. In 2012, 1stdibs dealers sold $ 650 million worth of merchandise, with transactions averaging around $ 2,000.

Rosenblatt stepped in for founder Michael Bruno, who ran the company for 10 years before taking a $ 60 million investment from Benchmark in 2011 and bringing in his own replacement.

Rosenblatt hired up, took another round of funding, and he says 1stdibs traffic is up 200% over last year.

1stdibs sells fancy goods, and it’s a pretty fancy place to work, too.

Every Wednesday, the company serves employees a catered white table cloth lunch.

A couple weeks ago, we stopped by during lunch and took a tour of the office.

The office is furnished with lots of unique, high-end furniture.

It gives the space a lot more personality and style than your average office.

The site is a carefully curated marketplace. These are the curators.
