The last thing you acquired #16
Juhl/Vodder Judas table and 5 early Eric Buck Chairs. $300 on craigslist. It is tempting to sell it, but I have a feeling it has become part of my permanent collection. On a related but separate note, what ever happened to Niels Vodder?

C.F.A?
I picked up a 'Eames' lounge chair today for a six pack of beer and a chocolate bar. Its marked "C.F.A Canada" on the chair, its the same faded color as the link attached, but where the head rest attaches its wood instead of metal, and has a little 'tailbone' that attaches the mid piece to the base. Does anyone have any info on the company or this particular chair?

Charlton- I believe so!
after checking out some images of the Chartlon chairs I think thats it, thanks!
The leather isn't great, but since the person wanted to trade for beer I wasn't expecting much :)

Lovely treasures everyone..this is one of my favorite threads.
And if my much anticipated book , by our very own robert'60 would arrive...I'd post it...perhaps this next week it will happen. I will be choosing a special outfit to be photographed reading the book. Probably something simple like what I'm wearing right now. So instead I'll post a pic of the shoes that I picked up at Gucci just after lunch today.
Why not?
Cheerio!

looks like someone made a modification to your hobby horse. I do not believe that the screw holes and extra piece of wood on the front bottom (foot rest?) are not original.

Anyone
Know if that is a Wegner piece? Drawer pulls differ from the ones I see in this vintage add. I gave it a quick once over and there were no stamps of any kind. Luckily I have parents who understand my "illness" and therefore are always on standbye to pick up my finds while I am at work.

I remember seeing period advertising for that Wegner piece (can't recall where at the moment) that showed many variations of drawers, doors etc. I am sure yours is what it is. Any further thoughts on my response to my Italian floor light query?

Great Jim!
These legs always remind me a bit of the Willy Van Der Meeren cabinets.
You've got a great collection going on there..
Just back from a vacation in France, we went down left of paris, to Nantes, Bordeaux, the Atlantique, made a large turn and went up the right side of Paris.
While there in the Berry region we passed a barn filled with 'brocante'. All good stuff, but a bit tatty (is that the word?) and exept some art deco ceramics all from well before 1900's.
Still I was able to find a pristine holmegaard klukkluk bottle in a subtile smokey grey, I paid 8 euro.
It was unmarked and when in a neighbouring village I saw in a shop a second example but in clear glass I began to doubt the brand or make..But back home I could easily confirm.
(the other one was priced way higher, both were unidentified).

Thanks B.J. but
I don't know if this buy was in the true sense of the "D.A"
rules...In a "D.A." world I would of walked passed an old man cutting his yellowing overgrown toenails in his front garden..his dirty feet firmly on the Reid cabinet and heard the lady of the house shout out of the window "the man wants $50 to take that cabinet to the dump"...then I would reply...
"Sir, I'll take it to the dump right now for $30"
"but the white van man will also empty the garage for us...we have a thousand old glass fiber Herman Miller stools in there" he replied while a piece of toenail flew past my eye..then I woke up...
I bought it from radar..."Chrome & Cream." I just wanted this piece so much..monday evening I said "yes o.k." via a mail to Bristol U.K.and wednesday evening it was delivered to Holland..brilliant buy and a brilliant service..
cheers
Jim

250's a decent price.
Especially if a) the arms fit under your desk without scraping, and b) they fit under the previous owners' desks without scraping.

Pierre Cardin Cocktail Table
I picked this up about 3 months ago or so, but I didn't do restoration on it due to the effort involved in it...then finally gave in two weeks ago and did the hard yards, though I couldn't do it all myself.
It looks the goods now, though it is a piece that looks larger in person than what you may think a 4' x 4' table is.
The restoration cost a great deal more than what we paid for it, that's for sure.

A before shot
Hello Claus,
Here are a few pics before the restoration. Not the bets photos unless you can view the full-size versions to get close-ups.
The differences are really in the base having the chips corrected, and the side trim being polished to remove the scratches - as with the ice bucket. There were also corner brackets that were previously upon the corners to prevent damage by the previous owner that were removed, too - they were not original.
I saw one table like this at an auction in Florida and I had some close-ups taken of the table - the damage can be hidden by photography and it was really in quite poor shape - but still a lovely table.
The top had the scratches removed - fortunately the top was made from a solid color 1/8th inch laminate with makes correction possible.
The combined length of all the aluminum was near 55 or so feet, so it took a great deal of time - and I had to get someone who knew aluminum also.
I had several credenzas along with other items that I have personally restored, and this piece took the longest time of any to do so - but the result is pretty spectacular.

Fine art
Mentioned this in another thread.
Alan Munro is the artist, the OTHER Alan Munro. He was a fine art professor @ Oregon State for about 30 years. He mostly seems to have been an academic, rather than commercial artist. Very few of his pieces seem to have sold.
I have been meaning to paint the living room (never liked the mud brown from the previous owner). This picture is forcing my hand.

Craziest treasure hunting day ever!
First we went to a yard sale and got a danish teak sideboard, a danish style lounge recliner, a small Rya rug, A set of Vera Neumann dishes, a set of Heller dishes, and a set of Russell Wright dishes, There was some other fun odds and ends there too. Then We hit a couple thrifts got some tiki art and then met with a guy who was purging some things from his house. We got a Laurel mushroom floor lamp, 4 Eames DCM chairs, A Lawrence Peabody chair, A huge Rya rug, four amazing pieces of Mccobb planner group, A Kofod Larsen chair for Selig, and a Bruno Mathsson strap chair.

sweet dresser
sure did clean up well.
I didn't buy one last week that I am still regretting (not the same, by any means).
Did, however, pick up a couple of my personal passions today, a couple of ANCIENT Ledu swing arm desk lamps. Grimy but oh so lovely. Check out that label "Ledu Wazo". Never seen that before.

Pictures of some of the haul!
Here's some pics I snapped with my phone.
You can see one of the pieces of Mccobb in the back of the pic of the rug. I have the drawers... There is a low wide one, one with sliding doors, and a vanity as well.

Picked this up today for 90 British pounds.
Really REALLY happy with it. I'm a real Space-age fanatic and this finishes off our lounge in style.
Perhaps someone knows more about it? (there's no markings on it)

Move outs and magic dumpsters!
last week it was a Selig 'Z' chair, this week it was a Grete Jalk for Frances & Sons :)
I live in a university neighborhood and its the mega move out weekend! I also picked up a Fiesta mug, 4 Dansk mugs, and 1800's pocket sized copy of 'Hamlet'- owned by Ezra Meeker, one of the first settlers in the Pacific Northwest (Washington State)
The 'kids' just pile everything out on the sidewalks, crazy...

Thrift shop find.
Is this the Brazilian rosewood?
I guess a black sleeve around the shaft is missing- any details on it? Anodized? How did it attach?

Fantoni
I was thrilled to find this Fantoni sculpture at an estate sale just a couple blocks from my house. The house was a colonial with almost entirely traditional furnishings.
I was going to go the first day, but saw a long line and decided not to bother. It was the second day after lunch when I wandered over. I was surprised to get the sculpture and a Brown Jordan outdoor sun shade. I wonder if I missed out on any other treasure.
Guess you can never know what a vintage estate might hold.

Holy wow!
What a find this morning! Six Frederick Weinberg(or is it Paul Tuttle?) stools, a Greta Grossman lamp, and a cute teak bird... Anyone recognize the bird?

How does one tell?
The woman I got it from had it for over fifty years. It has some serious wear to the paint job but still works. I have a feeling it might be the real deal. All the hardware is consistent with the earlier models of the lamp. I'm not sure how early on people were doing knock offs though. Either way, it's still pretty cool.

I agree - It is a cool lamp.
Easiest way to tell that it's a replica is to look at the way the shade is mounted. On the original lamps, the frame tube terminates in a "T" into which the shade's ball-joint is fitted.
Photos, top to bottom:
One of the original lamps that sold at Wright a few months ago for $13K.

Your lamp.

Thanks!!! I'm super stoked about the find!
I was pretty sure it was real and very early. I got it from a sweet old lady who was the original owner. She had all those Tuttle stools and a set of 4 Eames wire chair rockers. She wasn't ready to let go of those! But she was definitely a collector from the era. It seems that the T joint was a later addition to the Grossman lamp. The hardware on mine is just like what was on the one that was in Greta Grossman's home for a promotional photo shoot in 1948. I would be surprised if she had a knock-off in her own home! Some of these earlier examples of the lamp have sold at Wright and been featured in reputable shows.

Noah
You and alexandersforum are correct. There are different generations and different manufacturers of the grasshopper lamp and I believe yours is authentic.
Here is a detail of the pair you linked to. The neck/ head transition is the same as yours.
There are a number of details that vary among the different generations and makers of the grasshopper lamp. I have seen many of these in person, inspected them closely, compared and contrasted them and I've yet to sort it all out. I would be interested in seeing more detailed shots of your lamp. Besides the neck/ head juncture, I'd be curious to see the head (number and placement of holes) the feet (with a measurement of the diameter) and overall measurements.
The one thing I do know is that the knock-offs or copies have very significant differences in the design and construction and after looking at many of these I can tell you that they are pretty easy to spot.

Well, ok.
I'm certain that Pegboard has seen more of these lamps than I have, so I'll defer to his more-expert opinion. Noah, I apologize for making that snap judgment; I hope I didn't cause you any distress.
I've seen a number of Grasshoppers, and the only non-"T" authentic lamps I've ever seen have a swivel that looks like the one in the photo below, which was also used in at least one of Grossman's other lamp designs.
I've never seen a real Grasshopper with a swivel that looks like Noah's, but I'd love to learn more. Pegboard (or anyone else), do you have photos of another authenticated example with a swivel like the one on Noah's lamp?

I'd be interested in having a more protracted conversation about the details of the Grossman grasshopper lamp, but maybe we don't want to derail this thread. In an effort to allow us space and time to delve into this further, I'll start a new thread dedicated to the subject.

hello.
The lamp's feet are roughly 1 inch and 5 8ths in diameter. The lamp is a little over 4 feet and 1 inch tall. The shade is about 9 inches long. fastfwd, the joint looks like the ones that pegboard posted above. The one you just posted looks like the real lamp but possibly with an altered joint.
here is another authenticated one with the joint that matches the lamp I have:
http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/8755807
I'll post a pic of that with more pics of mine below.
Thanks

Please add your photos and comments to the thread I started about the grasshopper lamp so this one can continue to be about recent acquisitions.
Oh, and you'll notice that the feet of your lamp are smaller than those wit the "T" shaped joint at the neck/ head. It's also much lighter in weight.

a weakness
tile trays/trivet
about the nicest one I have ever seen. Great workmanship. Still has the name of the person who made it in '59 on the underside (high school shop?)
Not everyone's cup of tea, I understand....

Knoll and Thonet Furniture...
Knoll and Thonet Furniture and specification binders for $9.99 a piece. Knoll binder is stupendous and cleaned up really nicely. Thonet binder not as great but has all the knoll knockoffs along with some amazing Eero Aarnio plastic designs I had never seen. The graphics on the dividers are also fantastic.
For a better idea of the Knoll binder, I have attached a picture and the link to the same one that recently sold on Ebay for over $200. Its an amazing resource.

Yesterday
I picked up this delightful two-sided earthenware ceramic vase by Tuscon artist Maurice Grossman. I love the whimsy, the Italian qualities, and the nod to Picasso.

Your images did not load when I first opened the thread.
Those Aarnio pieces are insane! I've not seen them before. Very cool!

Pegboard, I'd have never...
Pegboard, I'd never seen them before either and have been unable to find them anywhere else on the web....Odd that these pieces have slipped through the cracks over the years.

I got these awhile back
but I don't think I've posted about the cat thing before. It's one of a kind, home made of wood and is two sided. I bought it at an auction on behalf of my daughter. I'd called her there to look at a couple of Brno-type chairs and she said, "eh--but what about this?" and pointed to this thing, which I had not really noticed. It looks like a gate of some sort but I can't remember if there is any indication that there were hinges on it. Googling "Kat's Whisker" doesn't bring up anything other than some place in the UK. (Note that it's one whisker. Not multiple whiskers.) It's kind of weather so may have been an outdoor thing but maybe was just stored in a barn for a long time, we don't know. We don't know anything about it. Any ideas?
The other is my giant crewel piece which I think I've shown here before but it's in a new spot where I can finally get a full on photo (sorry for the graininess--dim lighting). It was designed by Erica Wilson, wife of Vladimir Kagan. She did a lot of traditional stuff but also some things like this that look great in a warm Danish mod environment. My daughter also recently got the same thing in a slightly less huge size on Ebay. Mine was only $2 at auction!

finally, a dining table shade
I have been looking for a long long time. Think I finally scored something that will look right.
What is the correct term for these babies? Plastic DIY? Folded shades?
It's vintage judging by the works.

I checked this thread to see the newest replies and as I scrolled down I saw your post with this photo. I don't know how I missed it before, but that outfit is too much! I love it. You look like an orange creamsicle!

Pique assiette table
Mosaic with broken plates.
Happened to be there yesterday when they brought this out on the floor in one of LA's more bottom-feeder thrift shops.
Two chairs came with it, familiar Victorian garden style, heavy (at least 70 lbs each)floral patterned iron painted white, with a little rust but not very old, not original to the table.
