	Thanks for the info Pegboard!	1 Relevance	13 years ago	DHutch17	General discussion
	Thanks for the info Pegboard! Good news, I didn't pay much for it. I was weary of it without being able to see it in person. I was expecially skeptical of the "it's from the 50s and 60s" thing as I doubted it was the real deal. I did see recently that two of the identical chairs to mine were sold at auction in Chicago for $2300 and $2600. http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/24670486_danish-modern-chair-2
	'Back for a while'	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Robert Leach	General discussion
	'Back for a while' is slightly misleading. Trends don't come and go overnight, they filter down- so it all depends on what area of the market we're talking about. That said, it appears we're all pretty much on the same page, look-wise, whatever we call it. There is no such thing as 'Hollywood Regency' outside of the US (one rarely hears it in Europe other than on eBay) So this style might go by any number of different names, and may even acquire a new (more global) one as time goes on.
	Ooo!	1 Relevance	13 years ago	Spanky	General discussion
	Ooo! That is one magnificent spread in that Minnesota sale. I was especially excited to see the set of stemware that is a deep blue fading to brown with clear stems. I've asked about it here before but never had a photo. In all the auctions I've been to over the years, I've never seen any of it. My roommate in college had some pieces given to her by a friend whose family was Finnish and I have always thought it was probably Iittala, but have never been sure. Anyway, it's good to see more of it. I was beginning to think I'd dreamed the whole thing. (Not really.)
	More Spray	1 Relevance	14 years ago	LondonArt	General discussion
	More Spray I have several lovely Sprays, authenticated in the early 90s, in writing, by Bertoias wife - When I sold one in auction it was then returned as Val - would not- authenticate it ! Even though its dopal ganger is on their web page. Moral of the story... maybe the one person who could truly shed some light on the origin of this stunning objects is sadly no longer with us.. Every thing else should be taken with a pinch of salt !
	Curious departure.	1 Relevance	15 years ago	tktoo	General discussion
	Curious departure. It seems to me that Ruskin and Morris both would blow chunks when one considers that these products are so inherently reliant on large-scale industrial mechanization. I see little, if any, evidence of the human hand in the finished product. That may not be a bad thing, necessarily, but it is certainly antithetical to the philosophies of the founders and practitioners of the Arts and Crafts movement.
	Yup, effing IKEA...	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Olive	General discussion
	Yup, effing IKEA... And yes they do line up much nicer than that pix, Heath. They are actually quite nicely made. I love Bento Boxes too, I have one very similar to the picture you posted, minus the removeable inserts. We store lesser used keys and other small ephemera in it. I have a real thing for storage containers. I have a ton of them and they're displayed all over my house. I never seem to run out of uses or places for them all.
	I lied....	1 Relevance	16 years ago	Orleans USA	General discussion
	I lied.... Well I didn't lie...I just can't find the picture I thought I had. My external has tens of thousands pictures categorized perfectly...well almost perfect. No "down the bayou" modern house boat. The next best thing is in Arizona. Has anyone heard of El Cosmico? I've traveled the Southwest a lot for no particular reason besides having a good time. http://www.elcosmico.com/gallery.php
	Yes but...	1 Relevance	18 years ago	DudeDah	General discussion
	Yes but... did anyone happen to notice THEY'RE PURPLE?!? Is this one of "those cases" where rarity trumps the fact THEY'RE UGLY?!?! Sad. Did you see that Herman Miller is now offering these neat chairs in all sorts of DAYGLO colors? They've even made them more "green" by making them out of PLASTIC and they're WAYYY more "reliable" now because they don't have those pesky shock mount thing-a-ma-giggees. And they come in pairs ALL DAY!!

	. My English is pretty awful, compared to an Evelyn Waugh paragraph which I've read over and over again, it's the most perfectly constructed thing you could imagine. I'll try and find it. When I was a little younger studying horticulture and before email my spelling was quite good, all the taxonomy really helped then and still does now, with a broad range of subjects. The only other language I've grown up with is Afrikaans, which is truly hideous.

	whitespike I agree with...	1 Relevance	19 years ago	LRF	General discussion
	whitespike I agree with... whitespike I agree with almost every thing you say but I don't know any thing about these clocks being somewhat inferior , . and some what of a knock off I use the word somewhat on purpose, I just can't see Howard miller, which it self is a Icon and not some chinese knock off clock maker doing one thing that would dismiss or diminish the integrity of the Nelson clock, Barry made excellent points and basically said who cares and that is the truth, but we all care or we would not be wasting our time writing, I told you i measured a Howard miller ball clock that i have in my daughters room to a original orange ball from 1956 Barry said they had to change things around cause of electric C battery to quartz, and I believe that to be true, and when they did the configurations changed, and yes it is a little larger but not cheaper metal, if anything it is better than 1956 ball clock that i paid 650.00 8 years ago, and does not work at all, and i would not dare cut the cord and put a 5 dollar quartz movement in and have in running in 10 minutes, That one deserves to be preserved and that is what i did and have a beautiful icon now worth more than likely a 1000 bucks and can not keep a seconds worth of time, I have said for a long time in my home I have original designers and I have been lucky and blessed to have them, for a long time, In my office and wharehouse I have several knock offs from Alpha ville I have measured these things till I have felt like a Idiot on my knees with a tape measure just cause i want to know, and I want to know what makes them fakey, Once again Barry who deserves to be sighted here has stated for the record, what the difference is, but dimensions on clocks is just bull shit, who cares, Is Vitra going to be worth more in 40 years from now at a Wright auction? I say hell no!!! Vitra They are a great company but that is what they are a company... Jacquelin Nelson approached them to make up Georges Clocks 10 years ago when Howard miller had no interest, no difference than Eames Demintros asking the same company to make Grandpas 2000 dollar elephant both could have gone to Mr Mayogi in china and asked to make the stuff up over there..... Something to think about.

	tktoo, which polishing... tktoo, which polishing compound do you use for fiberglass? And the reason I said penetrol because it seals the fibers in. Does polishing does the same thing too?

	Peeing in the sink, why not?...	1 Relevance	15 years ago	HPau	General discussion
	Peeing in the sink, why not?... Peeing in the sink, why not? Although outside is always the best. Perhaps the whole thing is a bad idea, any drunk 25 yer old will be tempted to see how much of an arc they can manage and who'd want to wash their hands in the sink after that?
	Base	1 Relevance	23 years ago	MidCentBoy	General discussion
	Base Look at the base and glides. The real thing has a five pointed base while most of the knockoffs were four. Also the comparing the glides will make a big difference.
