	thx, glass artist et al. Funny you should mention the enviro thing, that's one of my passions (I recyle EVERYTHING); and am an environmental engineer by day/drummer by nite. Peace out + thx again.

	LuciferSum...don't think I don't also love the 670 Lounge Chair, but I wanted something other than the obvious Eames choice. It is a beautiful thing, no question. You're also right about the Barcelona...not too comfortable!

	A A lint free cloth I think someone already said an old T shirt is the best thing ? - I agree (never use a yellow duster) I only use wire wool if the wax needs to clean the wood as well, then it does a great job.

	nate i have never seen that weird tape. I have made about 50 pads for Bertoia wire chairs, and have never seen that, I doubt that it means any thing, I know that it will not diminish the value of the chair one bit.

	the_beloved i figured that out ... that is kinda a creepy thing cause on lots of pictures you like to enlarge them to see the closeups but with photo bucket you get one picture and that is it ( I guess you get what you pay for .... nothing)

	We don't have signal boxes over here, I guess. What is their function ? Is it a railroad thing ? "The lorry had a bonnet but no boot." (The truck had a hood but no trunk.) How did this happen ?
	Hi Vince	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LuciferSum	General discussion
	Hi Vince I've been searching for that part for about a year now and no such luck. The only thing I've found is a vintage swivel base on ebay. Last one I saw went for 600$. eek. If you find such a piece please let me know!

	Robert.. Take more water with it honey.. I agree that darker wood looks better with chrome as i think it needs the contrast.Re. Bodens sideboard,its definitely not my cup of tea but i think it looks good and he or she got a nice thing.

	hi robert, other faves of mine are Peter Karpf s Gemini candleholder & AJ s model (but boy, this thing is pricy). Do you like them too ? hope i did not put in too much pictures in one post

	oh Yea Nip/Tuck is the Best thing out there by far. Can not say enough good things about that drama i watch it religiously. Everything about it is is well done the acting, writing, effects i could go on.. Just when I think its is screwed up as it gets they throw in some more twists.. once you see it you will know what i am saying..

	Thank you so much! I am so thrilled to find out more about this designer. Great that he was still doing his thing at 100 years old. It is curious that they ended up in the UK. You don't see much Adrian Pearsall in these parts! Anyway, thanks again for your time. Best, Melissa
	So! The Swan chair that I just got	1 Relevance	14 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	So! The Swan chair that I just got turns out to be a tilt model with the one-piece base! I stripped the bad reupholstery fabric off and now there are two things that are a mystery to me: 1. What covered the void in the bottom of the foam shell where the tilt bar is housed? I can see adhesive residue in a rectangular shape where something was glued over it, but what material? 2. How is the fabric finished around the hexagon screw where you adjust the tilt? It's only a little 3/8" thing or so and it looks pretty much flush with the surface of the shell. The outer fabric on the chair is supposed to be one piece, so there's nothing extra to tuck under there. Do raw edges show? That seems rather barbaric for this chair. 3. Ok, i forgot one thing---how is the fabric finished around the post underneath? See #2, but on a larger scale. I think that's it. I am going to redo the chair in Maharam/Kvadrat "Tonus". There are a few threads of the original fabric left (mired in the HOT GLUE the previous person used---GRRRRR). It is a lovely brilliant green. Not what I will use but still, it was good to see after getting that mauve cotton dobby fabric off (think Grandma's front parlor).
	I can't tell for sure from	1 Relevance	9 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	I can't tell for sure from your photos what the scale of this thing is--30" or so? Bigger? The staining inside the basin definitely doesn't look like it's from being used as a planter, or even a birdbath but it does look like it held water at some point--the efflorescence, the brown staining at the very bottom. That got me thinking--could it have been a pedestal for a gazing ball in a garden? And rainwater would have pooled under the ball? The very bottom wouldn't necessarily have soil staining if it had been sitting on a paved surface of some sort---stone, concrete, wood decking, maybe just a concrete stepping stone. It may even be a homemade thing. Concrete craft has been huge for awhile now and there are some pretty slick things being churned out by DIYers. (My sister among them.) To round out the scenario, the person who made it moved from the house with the garden but was loath to leave his or her objet, so he/she made a stylishly abstract wood base to kind of tame it a bit for indoor display. The movers broke the gazing ball. The end.

	Today I got called by an auction house that I had the winning bid on following items.. Therapeutic toys designed by Helene Haeusler & Renate Müller. I bought them at a fraction of their worth (if you can put a finger on such a thing). The auction hous has a very conservative catalogue with lots of silver, biedermeier furniture, classical paintings.. They have no real knowledge of vintage items and this was the only 'modern' thing in the whole auction, hidden between 1200 other pieces.. I'm very, very excited by the way and over the moon!
