May 23, 2012

This past 2 weeks have been quite a push, but it was all worth it.  To see so many

delighted faces of people - either leaving with their treasures or just commenting about the

beautiful selection of pieces & colors - has me hooked on this business!


Some of the larger pieces sold include the comfy Barcerlona & Wegner-style chairs, 

along with an Ergon 2 swivel desk chair, a striking pair of white plaster & wood Quartite 

lamps, a cool 3-shade metal pole lamp, Danish Modern magazine stand, orange Prolon 

bowl, orange & blue Zero fan, wrought iron stand with record slots, Italian stacking coasters,

an older Yurok basket & a signed, framed poster by Susan Hunt-Wulkowicz.  Dansk pieces 

were almost as popular as collections of random old keys & dogs!  However, still available 

for the upcoming Vintage Bazaar at the Aragon on June 10 are many lights & lamps, the 

Aeron, Eames & Eric Buch chairs & the Nelson headboards.  But I'm going to have to 

replenish my stock of old keys!



SOLD  

A pair of Hans Wegner-style wood & rope 

folding chairs, made in Yugoslavia, ca 1960 

are extremely comfortable.  The oak 

colored  wood, brass hinges & roping are in 

great condition.  

The low-sitting chair was originally  

designed by Hans Wegner of Denmark in 

1949.



SOLD

Vintage black vinyl Barcelona-style button-

tufted lounge chairs, ca 1980, are also quite 

relaxing to sit in.  They were found in good 

condition with just a bit of discoloration on 

their strudy steel frames.  They have 

pleasing proportions, similar to the original 

chair designed by Mies van der Rohe for the 

1929 Barcelona Pavilion that was conceived as "'an ideal 

zone of tranquillity' for the weary visitor" to the Universal 

Exhibition in Germany.
