	SDR - I guess I paint with a ridiculously broad (and simplistic) brush sometimes. I never even bothered to look up what "Modern" really meant. Completely irresponsible on my part. Perhaps that comes from the art world, where there are both general and specific uses of terms like Impressionistic and Impressionism. One is a general approach, where the other refers to a "school of painting" historically. Anyway, it was just a bit of wishful thinking to hope that Modern (with a capital M) might someday refer to something specific historically. SCAN DESIGN - I hope my silly phrase did not derail any carefully considered thoughts you might have had on the subject of "the next big thing"! I am only one example of someone who is hoplessly down the river with Charles and Ray and George, and the like. I was just throwing it out there. KEEWEE - I have wondered about that generational thing too, and what the next generation might collect. If everything gets bought up and owned, does MCM no longer stay in the public eye enough to "bend the trend" going forward? Or do the knock offs keep advertising it just enough to hook large numbers of true believers from each generation? TKTOO - I totally agree. The best stuff always seems to have the power to cut through the noise and haze of the moment. And shows it's true strength when the trend seems to wane. MARK - Hi.

	What trads value	1 Relevance	18 years ago	Riki	General discussion
	What trads value Sorry I didn't respond promptly--I was at an auction all day where I got a Paul McCobb Planner Group desk for 10 dollars plus a 10% buyer's premium which made a grand total of 11 US dollars which is probably equal to 83 pence or so in the UK at the current dismal exchange rate. I am still not breathing. It's missing a knob. Are they hard to find? Anyway, I think the question to me is "what do traditionalists think is beautiful?" I swear, I feel like I should be getting continuing education credits for this forum because you guys are really deep. We, (by this I am only speaking for antique dealers who mostly sell 18th and 19th c. furniture and smalls) totally DO pay attention to and appreciate form vs. function vs. beauty vs. designer. We also pay attention to price, as in "can I sell it for at least two times what I am paying for it?" Form: Even in our arena, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. Rococo--bad. Victorian--bad. These are just two examples of styles that had too much ornamentation and they just look gaudy and tacky and pieces from these eras are difficult to sell. We look for clean lines and honest engineering, just as y'all do, even though we might be talking about a partner's desk finished on all sides or a bachelor's chest with just the right molding around the drawer edges.

	HP here in America the... HP here in America there is a thing called MADISON AVE maybe not as strong as it was in the 60's maybe stronger in a different way They tell you how to eat where to eat and when to shit, Daniel Boorstin?s 1961 book The Image: A Guide to Pseudo-events in America is notable as an early, landmark attempt to describe aspects of American life that were later termed hyperreality and postmodernity Madison ave always thought they were the cleverest of all with the original eye candy, when it is time to stick cool modern stuff in something to give a cozy feeling with out it being a down home country flair. or a day on the farm, they are there sticking the Eames lcw in the picture, or something else cool that someone can remember in a kinder Gentler time, i have to confess I am 56 born in the early 50s and grew up in the 60s and remember that period real well always worrying about shipping out to Viet Nahm, cause of poor grades in high school. I can honestly say I just don't remember the modern thing , the Eames Era as it was called, the pop 60's . I loved it and love it now but it was not a common way of life back then and if anyone tells you different they just don't know, my folks were wealthy and we traveled and very few families had the modern thing going on, out of 50 people maybe 1, the wildest modern was Edward Wormely for Dunbar. and he was a modern flair for the rich , Baker furniture was for the very wealthy . I hate to say it folks most wealthy people were not interested in putting fiberglass Eames shells or even Saarine Tulip chairs in the 85.000 dollar mansions back then, they were out there, for the highly educated ones, and professional people, who also liked fine music and good stereos and small roadster cars, Times have changed , but a few things came out of that era that will always be great, and we all know what they are, We just did not have the opportunity to appreciate back then, but i have made up for it now ..... maybe a little late
	I just did a google search	1 Relevance	8 years ago	Spanky	Identification
	I just did a google search for "steel ribbon chair", because they look like ribbons to me and I thought probably other people would think the same thing. Anyway, one or two showed up but with a chrome finish. One was on 1st Dibs and the seller said "Designer unknown" and dated them to the 70s. Seems like they could be as late as the 90s to me.

	Thanks CDSilva for your info on cord and cane. Spanky, very interesting, thats why I was kind of confused. It seems like that black vinyl was the only thing available, lol - it all looks the same with a very light pattern to it. It makes it look like it was an option. Thanks for your pics, yes it did clean up nice!

	The "auburgine" versions of these have got to be among the least desirable, generally speaking. I can't imagine a knock-off having been produced with this option. I agree with kin that the chairs are authentic vintage. Eggplant. It's a love it or hate it sort of thing.

	Well, the arms make the piece, for me. I find them useful and thus desirable. In any event, they're about the only statement this thing is making ? But the upholstery color needs to be a better match, or a bigger contrast. Keep looking for source, on this one . . . Just my ill-informed opinions. Thanks for the peek.
