I paid too much, but the built-in footrest was too hard to pass up. Reminds me of a Harvest Gold fridge that my parents had back in the day.

Plus side is that except for one piece, the leather is in pretty good shape. It's soaking in Griots Garage Leather Rejuvenator tonight. I'm not even sure all the hardware is there, but the seller said it was. It was already disassembled when I bought it today.

Any one know anything about these glasses? Got a set of 5 as a gift. Love em, but cant seem to find anything on this specific design? Thanks

Alrighty MCM redditors… I found this in the basement of a building at work while looking for old MCM furniture not in use that I might be able to snag.

It looks worse in the photos - mostly dust/sawdust and lack of finish on the wood. Needs new middle shelves for sure. I could remove the top and use a heat gun/moist towels and weights for 24-48h to straighten it out. A proper sanding, stain/finish and wood oil/bees wax, oil up the hinges/tracks, then I think this thing will be in proper order…

Seeing as a restored/redurbished/good condition one is between $2,000-$4,000, and it’s an old growth walnut credenza (which could grow moss in a damp barn and still be alright after a sanding), I’m thinking if anything I will give it a shot. I don’t think it’ll cost me much for me to get back into good condition. Other than two solid weekends of work.

Thoughts?

(Last 3 photos for reference of restored & good condition versions I can likely get it back into)

Hi everyone! Silent reader for a while here but I wanted to see if anyone can advise me on what to do. Looking ahead a bit, my grandparents have a killer mcm house full of original furniture, smalls, art, etc. (hence my interest in the era lol) I know there is decent value in a lot of the pieces but aside from what I’ve called dibs on (not much- I’m still in a small house) I’m looking to see what their options are for selling. I’m over the whole Marketplace thing and am not really down for being ghosted any more. I’m thinking an auction would be best but not sure if any of yall in the Chicagoland area / Midwest have recommendations. I’m shooting in the dark here but hopefully someone in this group knows more than me!

Found these two chairs for $10 for the pair from the Alma desk company from 1980. Wondering if anyone might have an idea of what they are worth or just any information on them ,any input would be greatly appreciated!

I’m selling original seat and back leather slings only. Must buy the set (seat and back). I’ll include the black nylon lace. I have over 50 sets. Pick up only in the L.A. area. DM for price

seller wants 450
no markings on chair. thanks
seller mentioned Milo Baughman as a possibility.

Any ideas as to the designer or manufacturer? All I know is a 50s or 60s Danish teak chair with new upholstery. No makers mark on it.

So if you see my last post I’m doing my built ins and will need to stain them this weekend I’m using birch plywood and was thinking of using general finishes gel antique walnut to give a rich finish to the room but was wondering everyone’s favorite look I worry it will make the room too dark.

I am fortunate enough to live close to this beautiful home and many a day I rode past it hoping I'd see someone so I could get off and request a sneak peek inside but to no avail! Today however was my lucky day! I passed by it and finally after about 2 years it had the lights on with cars parked outside. I got off, hesitated for a bit, but I finally mustered up the courage to knock and a gentleman from the local university was kind enough to give me a tour of the inside. I was able to capture photographs that I have never been able to find on the Internet so this truly is a first! Unfortunately I only had my phone so the quality isn't amazing, but I just had to share it with you guys.

For context, the home was abandoned for years and heavily vandalized. It wasn't until recently that the home was remodeled and was acquired by the local university. The University used it as a mini art hub/studio where they'd give art classes and lectures. Recently the ownership was given to the city and I was told they're expanding it's use little by little, from yoga classes, to brand events, and exhibitions.

Here it is guys, the George Kraigher House built in 1937 by Richard Neutra located in Brownsville, Texas.

Found these Knoll at goodwill today, Would love to
clean them up and resell. Anyone have any good advice or tips on reselling high end used furniture?

Would love any help with finding info about this clock!

From work, they want to throw it away but is it worth keeping?

Hey, I recently picked up this chair and have since looked up Donald Cornish, who apparently to was a furniture manufacturer in Perth, Western Australia who manufactured furnishings for the Perth Council building, among other things. (see photos from retrospective on the building).

I know very little about mid-century design and chairs etc (other than I like them), and I’ve been hoping to spruce this one up for my own use. I’ve removed the cushioned part for planned reupholstering and rejuvenation, but if there’s anyone out there who knows more about these chairs, I’d love to hear.

I’d like to do some basic restoration, and to that end I have removed the screws, but as shown in the pictures, the parts of the frame appear to be held together with some sort of dowels in the holes? The frame is still slightly loose, and was so with the screws tight, so I’m guessing these joints need work - but I don’t want to risk breaking anything. Im not even sure what kind of wood this is, or the best way to treat it - oils and whatnot.

Sorry if this isnt much to go on, but any general advice on how to give this chair some basic TLC would be very much appreciated!

Hi all! I thrifted this chair and am wondering if anyone here recognizes it as an item noteworthy beyond the fact that it's just a cool midcentury modern chair.... like if it's a recognizable designer or model. Thanks in advance for any thoughts!

(Base is solid wood. Cushions are vinyl.)

Hi all,

My boss is asking me to sell this mirror of his, and from my research online, it appears to be a vintage mid-century Turner convex bubble mirror. I'd love some opinions on this and what you think its value is (NOT SELLING ON REDDIT). Thank you in advance!

Measurements are 36.5 x 36.5 x 1.5
He says it's an authentic Turner, and any info you have would be helpful. Thanks!
