VINTAGE: You want drama? -How about a 5x7 foot painting? Signed Check (Chester) Boterf and dated 1965. It's actually two very similar shades of blue-violet on untreated canvas. (You can see in the close-up image.)
Lucite Ice Bucket
VINTAGE: A dazzling 1970's Italian designed ice bucket designed by Alessandro Albrizzi... but who would use it as such! It measures 7.5 inches square and has a pivoting top. The very bottom surface has a "cracked ice" pattern that plays optical tricks with the eye! Priced less than half of any others out there. 0542
Early Kurt Versen Floor Lamp
VINTAGE: Here's a simple, elegant floor lamp from the 1940's by American lighting designer Kurt Versen. The birch wood is original and near perfect, the painted finish is a dusty sage as original color and the shade has been correctly redone with the original metal rings top and bottom. The hard to find milk glass diffuser is new and correct dimension. It stands 60" tall and the shade is 24" in diameter. It takes a three-way Mogul based bulb. 0599
Donald Deskey Firetool Set
VINTAGE: So you didn't think fireplace tools could be cool? WRONG! This is an amazing set by industrial designer Donald Deskey for Bennett circa mid-fifties. Beautiful sculpting in every part from the solid brass handles to the wall-hugging tripod base tipped with brass feet. The center tool can even grab a log! Priced less than half of others out there on the web! 0546
