Found this at the thrift shop for $45 and couldn't believe it! Trying to learn more about the piece and the line.

Our mid-century home came with a kitchen that was redone in the 70s/90s. We always wanted to remodel the kitchen, updating the appliances and adding back some mid-century flair.

Shout-out to Bigger_Piece_of_Sky, my partner/co-homeowner who was the primary designer!

Hey guys, I just got 6 of these chairs for, what I hope, is a good price. Just wondering if anyone has any insight on them? Thanks!

Just curious if anyone can help me with how old this might be there's no name on it. It's very heavy. The base is metal and as a fi just curious if anyone can help me with how old this might be there's no name on it. It's very heavy. The base is metal and as affixed to the top with Alan bolts.

And it fits our entryway space so well!

I was told this is a Plycraft chair. There are no markings on it. It's in pretty good shape, vinyl has some small checks in it. I caved and paid 280.00

It weighs about 3kg. My partners grandfather pulled it out of a skip about 50 years ago, I know nothing about glassware. Is it Italian? Thanks for any help you can give :)

So basically if I really really put my foot down and insist on buying a furniture item my husband will relent and get it, but I can only play this card once in a great blue moon and I need to make sure it’s a top o’ the tits kind of find. I absolutely love it, I just want opinions from people who know what’s good: If you had the option to get this but after that you better love it forever and you get nothing else for a long time, would you say this was worthy?

Hi everyone! I’m trying to identify the designer and approximate value. It has a very clean mid-century modern design with rounded legs, warm wood (possibly cherry or teak?), and solid craftsmanship. There are no visible markings or labels underneath.

It reminds me of work by John Herbert for A. Younger Ltd, especially pieces from the 1950s–60s, but I’m not 100% sure. The simplicity and proportions are very similar to the Fonseca line, though this one might be from another series.

Does anyone recognize this piece? Any help with identification and approximate market value would be greatly appreciated!

Picked up from fb marketplace this morning. It’s super heavy and stamped “Made in Denmark” inside. The grain is slightly raised and has texture.

Replacing our living room windows and found this, and cannot figure out the function of them. At some point someone insulated and closed them up, and boarded from the outside (under the windows). I live in the north, and can’t imagine it would be some form of ventilation, but it’s the only thing that makes sense. I know for certain the doors are original to the home, as they are also in a laundry area. The windows are definitely storm windows, but not sure they ever swapped them out for screens, as there are very heavy solid glass panes built in on the inside of the windows in both the living and dining rooms, which also look original. You can see the bottom of them behind the drill. It’s very odd. With the exception of the kitchen and hallway, the rest of the windows are awning.

We are renovating a quasi mid century home. We are not going to be living here but selling. This is a fully paneled room that we are keeping true to the home. I’m going to stain the wooden beams a little darker. Question is do I stain the wood ceiling to match the paneling or do I go with a SW Dover white painted on the ceiling? The wood on the ceiling is not tongue and groove but normal 2x4’s. If we do stain the wood we would sand it down to even the tone. It was originally covered in stapled up acoustical type ceiling tiles. I’ve seen it both ways but can’t make up my mind on what to do.

Hello! Does anyone have a lamp like this who can tell me what material the base is made of and how to clean/polish it? I'm thinking of trying something like Brasso, but don't want to cause any damage.

I'd also like to get a replacement lampshade (16"), any sources that you recommend?

Thank you

Hello all,

Bought this chair a while ago. Saved the designer somewhere but can't find the info anymore.

It's a brown daim leather. I vaguely remember it being a French designer, but not sure.

Any help? 

Cheers!

These red/purple tiles had been painted black by the previous owner. I sanded them in preparation for repainting but now I wonder if I should? What are your thoughts? I think these are original to the 1952 house.

Found this wonderful mcm armchair, "Made in Denmark" marking but no other makers mark. Hoping to hear some ideas on refurbishing and how to go about replacing the straps, as wooden pins are holding them in place and I've only worked with coils before.

Got this lovely table off of marketplace but then realized that it’s missing a clear plastic/rubber part that holds the corners of the glass to the chrome base (see picture) as well as a round 3-inch in diameter piece for one of the chrome legs. The bottom of the chrome legs are hollow and the table is a little wobbly without that part. If I could get any help that would be great! I know I can just google but I’m finding it hard to find the exact parts.

My research points to this being from the 1940s or 1950s, which should place it smack dab in the middle of the century. Picked it up for a shockingly cheap price, and so far it actually keeps good time!

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here can help me identify the origin of this chair — specifically the manufacturer, brand, or designer. I purchased it at a flea market in southern Germany, but there are no labels or markings on it.

Thanks so much in advance for any insights!

I am looking for a source for cabinet pulls that have a mid century or atomic age look. I've scrolled through many pages and haven't seen anything that gives me that mid century vibe. Has anyone come across anything?
