Nambe Studio Candlesticks

Knoll Table

I believe this is a Knoll table. It is very well made. The top is made out of the same material lab coutertops are constructed of. Found at Gwill for $6.99

Chase Brass & Copper Company Bud Vase

I found this bud vase in goodwill today. I was manufactured by the Chase Brass & Copper Company. It was designed by Ruth and William Gerth. It is concidered a transitional style in between art deco and mid-century modern. It was manufactured from 1933-1940. I got it for a steal at $0.99

MCM McCoy Floraline Vase

A nice mid-century vase made by McCoy under the floraline band.

Rosenthal-Netter

I found this Eames Era Rosenthal vase in goodwill. It still has the original paper label. Someone didn't know what it was because it was only priced for 49 cents.

Thomas Meek Watercolours from 1951

I found these two watercolours in goodwill. Both have a midcentury feel to the brush strokes. One is a scene from Glouster and the other is of Nantucket. Both were painted in 1951. I payed ~$10 for the two.

Idiots

So I found this bronze statue in goodwill by accident. I saw a carved ebony bird which was intersting(?), when I notices a silver statue sitting next to it. It has too much detail and character to be some super mass produced garbage like you would find at Homegoods. I picked it up, and it was heavy. I though, this has to be a 'bronze'. Sure enough, I scratched the uneven silver paint off with my thumb nail. My next though was "what idiot would spray paint a bronze statue". The character and patina of a bronze statue is awe inspiring, yet someone out there thought "Hey you know what would make this better? A top coat coat of silver flake." I managed to get most of the paint off without damaging the underlining patina. It feels good to know that I saved this piece of art, and will cherish it.

Curbside Pickup

I was with my friends driving thought town on the way to pick apples. When we see what looks like a garage sale, and out in front is a molded plywood chair. I say "IS THAT A HERMAN MILLER CHAIR?". I whip the car to the side (the quality of the parking was questionable). We dash across the street. When we get there we see that it is not a garage sale, but these guys are clearing out a building, and throwing everything out!!!!!!!!! They said we could take whatever we wanted. Turns out it wasn't a herman miller chair, but a similar looking Plycraft chair designed by George Mulhauser. We also picked up a fiberglass Origami chair by Paul McCobb, a painting/montage by S.Hall(no idea who this is), and two midcentury modern rosewood and naugahyde bench/coffee tables/ottomans. Whoever originally bought this furniture had great taste.

Georges Briard Glass Tray

I found this Georges Briard glass tray with wooden handles at the goodwill outlet. It was in a huge bin that people were tossing stuff in. Its amazing it didn't break. It cost me 59 cents per pound. lol yes that's right you pay for stuff by the pound at the outlet.
