Still working on those new photos.

SOLD REFINISHED 48" Nelson Platform Slat Bench in ebony!

As first described in my September 12 post,

this slat bench in ebonized wood, originally

designed in 1948 by George Nelson for Herman

Miller, is the ultimate iconic multipurpose

display and resting place.  It is one of the best

known images of mid century modernism. 

Measuring a handy 48" x 18" x 14" H, the

bench/table was originally meant to support

heavy storage pieces, making it functional as

well as beautiful.  Some minor touch-up is

included if you want:  the black finish is

chipped off in areas, mostly on the one leg.  And

there is a small piece of chipped veneer on one

corner of the seat frame.  Not a big deal to get it

fixed.

Signed.  Ca 1980's.                                     $725.

Just a heads up that you can find some of my collection also on Etsy, under the names "Huntartandantiques" and "salyarcht."  My plan is to showcase on Etsy some of the smaller vintage pieces that have previously only been shown as a larger shelf grouping.

Eames Shell Chairs - now 3!

Yellow, Parchment (White) & Orange - 3 

wonderful vintage, ergonomic, early 50's 

Eames Fiberglass Shell Side Chairs with 

original black legs, swivel feet & H-base by 

Herman Miller.  Some of the original

stickers are left on the bottoms, & there is 

the famous Herman Miller stamped logo 

stamped on the Parchment-colored one because 

it was one of the 3 original colors.

     

(See that one listed separately also, in a

May post.)                                                    

All 3 have age-appropriate 

patina & some wear marks.  The photo 

colors are a bit off - the orange is more 

orange & less red, the yellow much deeper(BOTH SOLD)

                                                                                       & the white, creamier, as shown in the side view.  Ca 1950.

                                                                                       Three (3)     $750.

Sept. 6, 2012 - Looking back at the long, hot summer

After an extended trip from Chicago to even more hot & humid Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for dental work (!), I am back with fresh ideas & an increased sense of thankfulness for how we are all fighting to save our world as we know it.

While there, I met many beautiful new friends, especially Katherine & her exciting new folk art collection called Color Pod .  With her permission, I will be creating my own new local designs.  I can also market hers through my shop.

Stay tuned for other new finds that I will be posting this week!

Thanks to everyone who visited my collection this past 

weekend during the Custer St. fair.  A special thank you to 

so many who told me how much they liked my business 

sign with the Eames Chair logo!    

Some of you also took advantage of the special 10% fair 

discount.  

I hope to see all of you again soon!

June 13, 2012

Last week at TVB was such a blast that I'm doing it again! 

Tomorrow & Sunday, June 16 - 17, is Custer's Last 

Stand street fair in Evanston.  


My shop is only 1-1/2 blocks walk from the fair & will be 

open each day from 11 - 5 pm.   Look for the signs.

You can also find me at the Main Street Station 

Merchants' Association booth from 10 am -12 pm Sunday.

June 3, 2012

One week from today - June 10 from 12 to 5 pm - is The Vintage Bazaar at the Aragon, 1106 West Lawrence Avenue in Chicago.   It is near the Lawrence El stop on the red line.  If you're driving, I also scouted a lot of unzoned street parking.  I will be outside with my collection in the parking lot across the street, in a space assigned that day. 

Check yelp & krrb for what I'll be showing.

Hope to see a lot of you there!
