THIS PIECE IS NOW SOLD Amazing Mod Console Table/Desk and Stool Set. Orange!

Here is a stunning circa late 1960’s early 70’s MOD style console table and stool. Although I do not know who the designed these pieces, they were clearly influenced by Pop Art and Mod furniture designers such as Verner Panton and Eero Aarnio. A versatile piece that can be used as a desk and stool set, or as a console table and display stand/ side table if used separately. The pieces are made from wood with hard vinyl laminate covering done is a matching bright orange color that screams retro. The table does have a few light scratches from general use wear (priced accordingly), the stool is in great shape. I love the color, but it would be an easy paint job to change it for a more contemporary look. The stools diameter measures 2 feet across and it is 21 inches tall. The table measures 4 feet long, 29 inches tall, and18 inches deep. This would be an essential part of any space age bachelor pad, or mid century loft. It would look great as a flatscreen TV stand. THIS PIECE IS NOW SOLD

NOW SOLD Danish Modern Teak Bookcase / Cabinet

NOW SOLD A nice vintage Bookcase / cabinet / secretary combo unit done in a rich teak wood. It features two display / book shelves, and flip down door revealing a secretary / storage section on the upper part of the unit. The lower section features two sliding doors that reveal storage shelving and three sliding dovetailed construction drawers. The upper section sits on top of the lower and can be removed by just lifting it off (you could even just use the lower section by itself as a flat screen stand if you like). The piece does have some chipping and wear to the side edges, as well as some old veneer repairs. I have taken those into account when pricing this unit. The piece measures 66 inches tall, 34 ½ inches wide. The upper section is 10 ½ inches deep and the lower is 17 ½ inches deep. The both upper and lower pieces are stamped “Made in Denmark “ on the back. This has lots of storage space. and features the functional austere design that is so typical of the late 60’s Danish / Scandinavian Modern design movement.

1950’s Henry Moore / Weinberg Style Abstract Sculptural Table Lamp

This stunning circa 1950’s sculptural lamp brings to mind the works of Henry Moore and Frederic Weinberg (also spelled Frederick). Although I am unsure of who designed this lamp the sculptor was not afraid to wear his or her influences on there sleeve. Great flowing abstract sculptural form. It does have the abbreviation F.A.I.P. on the base. This is the company mark for Fine Art In Plaster. They were a company who produced many lamps through out the 50 and 60’s, but I have never seen one a sculptural or abstract as this. Considering it is a plaster lamp it is in very good condition. There is some crazing to the finish and the white has aged to a nice almost ivory color. There are one or two very tiny spots of paint loss to the base (it could be touched up with some black paint). However these things add to the character and vintage look of this piece (in my opinion for what it’s worth). There are no large chips, pieces missing or broken off that usually plague these plaster lamps of this era. The lamp measures approximately 32 inches in height. This would be the focal point of most any mid-century modern / atomic age home. An Eames era classic. $285.00
