What's old is new

This is my place to show off the items I would call vintage, things I have either refinished or kept as is and find interesting. I am still a kid at heart bringing home what some might call junk and am always in search of that buried treasure. I am not a picker and I am not a hoarder, working with my hands on my own time repairing or refinishing the things I find brings me peace of mind and time to myself to contemplate whatever has transpired in my life or time to just zone out and concentrate on the task at hand. Some items for sale or possible trade just ask..click on my profile and send me an email.

Selig/Eames-Replica/Original


No description needed, most of us have seen and drooled over these even if they are knockoffs. This duo will be at an upcoming auction and while I shouldn't be, I'm on the fence on whether I want to attend. I think a decent auction price for the brown would be $150-$200 and the black $400-$500 so as to leave room for profit. My ears are on for anyone who wants to comment on this pair to either help me get off the fence or comment on the chairs themselves.

  1. Well, if you were in the US I would be interested. I can imagine shipping stateside would put it out of my price range. That being said, I think if you picked it up reasonably, it would be an easy sell.

  2. The Eames couple, Charles and Ray were designers par excellence. Their ideas to this day are considered revolutionary. Most notable creations of theirs is the Eames house in LA.
