| Kyle Barrett: I believe price is over $100,000.00. You can read in the emails from Mr, Pritchard: Recently to 3rd party: It is only noticeable under careful scrutiny, and in my professional opinion, does not diminish the value of the complete set. Given the rarity and condition of the entire set, these repairs are considered to be minor. And earlier to me: I realize the repaired pieces will lower the value significantly, | |||||
| help with an Aalto table, please? | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | amateur's wife | General discussion | |
| I have an old Aalto table (marked 85, Aalto Design, Made in Sweden, Artek) and there is some damage, e.g., a few cigarette burns and a bit of discoloration/water damage(?) at the lowest 2" of the legs. If I sand, stain, and refinish the entire table, would I diminish whatever value the table may have? I don't know anything about this table as it is. Actually, is this a do-it-yourself project anyway, or one better left to a professional? Thanks much for any advice! | |||||
| cleaning saarinen tulip chairs | 1 Relevance | 15 years ago | suki | General discussion | |
| Hi - I am looking for some advice for cleaning my original saarinen tulip chairs. It was suggested to me by the Knoll company that I spray them with auto paint - but I feel that would diminish their value, since they are original. The finish is looking rather dingy and needs to be spruced up - any ideas would be helpful! | |||||

| ... me if Finn Juhl never wanted the Chieftain chair to ever be thought of in that way, and that it would diminish the chair's status as a powerful, iconic thing in itself, that stood alone as a work of art and sculpture. I suspect a conscious decision was made to never market the chair with an ottoman. | |||||
| Refinishing Platner chairs | 1 Relevance | 9 years ago | pixcyn | Repair | |
| So, I have 10 early 70's Platner Chair that for some reason were painted white. The earliest memory people have of them, they were always white. I am thinking of keeping 6 and selling 4. My questions are: Do you think it will diminish its value if I repaint them bronze, update upholsteary, etc. Should I keep them white, even though it is not their original color? I guess that basically I am wondering whether it will be in detriment to do anything to them and try to make them look as good as new, even though they are vintage. I should point out, that they p ... | |||||
| Cincinnati Milacron Eames Shell Chair Shock Mount and other Variations | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | dixichuk | Identification | |
| Newbie to these chairs. Thanks for all the info you have provided so far. I have read many of the discussions, but still have some questions. I have 4 shell side chairs & have identified the stamp from this forum as Cincinnati Milacron. There is no Herman Miller embossed logo or any other identifying mark. LuciferSum via Eames Collector has provided info that suggests the legs are Lounge-X. I hope they are original. The swivel feet have a logo in the white plastic insert. Does anyone have info on that logo? My concerns are primarily with the mounts and the s ... | |||||

| ... their wallets. I would not do a single thing to alter it, not cleaning, not leather conditioning, and keep it out of sunlight. It may well be the case that re-upholstering it would diminish its value, regardless of who does the re-upholstery, because everything about the value of the chair has to do with its authenticity. It is barely even a chair anymore. Think of it as an artifact. And I would dig in all your family's collected documents for anything relating to purchasing Danish furniture. The closer related to the chieftain the better, but I would no ... | |||||

| Yeah... I'm nervous about it. | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | mgee76 | General discussion | |
| Yeah... I'm nervous about it. I guess conditioner or treatment of some sort? Will that diminish the lighter, faded spots? I don't want somebody to smear some kind of flexible acrylic all over it... just want to repair the spots where it has torn or been punctured, etc. I really love the leather on the majority of it... thanks! | |||||

| ... exposure to sunlight. Unexposed teak is much more brown, and shot through with black streaks. Exposed teak looses the brown, and the black streaks diminish almost entirely, leaving you with the orangish wood we are familiar with. So it is going to be extremely challenging to find new veneer that matches. Is the piece finished on the back? | |||||
| Condition + rarity + | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | tktoo | General discussion | |
| Condition + rarity + desirability (current market) = monetary value. Any repair will diminish value with degree depending on quality of the repair and other factors listed above. There's really no hard, fast rule by which to calculate this. A photo of the repair might help. Gorgeous chair, though. Congratulations! | |||||
| "intent doesn't factor in" | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Eameshead | General discussion | |
| "intent doesn't factor in" Your "intent doesn't matter" argument assumed that the end user would have no way of knowing that the resulting table was a fake. But that is not true now. Not with the "DECAL" spelling it out. Intent is again relevant. No mistake can be made now. The way you attempted to diminish and trivialize the importance of the burned in mark and belittle it by calling it a "decal" is extremely unethical. And a flabby argument as well. | |||||

| I don't know, EH... FWIW, I agree with you that nature trumps all artistic creation. But this whole over the top, controversial angle going mainstream just strikes me as the law of diminishing returns rearing its ugly head. And the rationalization comment was referring to your assumptions. You assume that I can't see it. You assume that I haven't been exposed to much art I suppose. You assume that I haven't been properly educated perhaps. These are the things that you tell yourself from the off to diminish my opinion in your mind. It's a very common thought ... | |||||

| ... it is pretty much inevitable that the foam will be petrified if the chair is upholstered in fabric which is breathable, if it was originally upholstered in leather or vinyl, you might be surprised how well it has held up. It's the exposure to air that causes the foam to oxidize. I have an egg chair from 1960 upholstered in vinyl that is in excellent condition with no discernible hardening to the foam. We also recently acquired a first generation 1958 egg chair in original leather, the original version without the seat pad that is also in great shape. There ... | |||||

| In defence of foxxxy I think the current back and forth with foxxy will achieve nothing. While i appreciate this place and its content it has its limitations....i do not want to upset P&A in any way or diminish their generosity but we all know that valuable info has been allowed to slip away unnoticed only to be retrieved by those aware of the threads. I hope when the new forum comes that we can in some way sticky important threads or put them in their own hall of fame type section. | |||||
