| THIS IS SPAM | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | keewee | General discussion | |
| THIS IS SPAM Nothing more than an attempt to try to sell things by some Chinese computer cafe wad being paid a penny a post. Why can't we flag this garbage? Truth be told, I hate 99% of new garbage. Once you've handled vintage, you can't go back. And it's the environmentalist in me. I don't know how anyone can see pictures of sea turtle carcases on the beach rotting around the plastic they mistakenly thought was food that didn't make it through their stomach and go on to buy yet another piece of garbage from China. | |||||

| ... pieces I had and got excited. We talked about it. Looked at books. I told her what magazines and web sites to peruse to solidify her choices. My advice to her (as it is to most novices) was to buy a new mid century looking sofa but look for vintage case pieces and coffee tables which she liked. I usually give people that advice because for most people reupholstery is daunting and prohibitive, mid century coffee tables are easy to come by so they are a good place to start, and case pieces were made so much better back in the day that there are many good exam ... | |||||

| ... the end, it didn't matter. The piece was definitely made in the US, and had a strong 70's feel to it construction-wise. The build quality was decent, but overall, the piece just didn't do it for me. If Juhl was involved in any way (licensing a design, but not getting involved in fabrication), I can see why it may not be highlighted in his bio. However, based on what I have read about his strict standards for licensing to Baker, I am dubious about his involvement with Mt Airy. On another note, my guess of wood was bleached walnut. I am not a wood expert, and ... | |||||

I've attached another picture of a stamp I found on the bottom, even though it's not been identified. Thanks again. I thought I recognized the legs, I should have picked up on Woodard... | |||||

Sure it's often hit and miss when you do that, but hits like this are well worth the misses. If one is not careful, one can learn their way into blindness. Cool to see you didn't let your "better judgement" talk you out of going after this great and weird chair! | |||||

| as far as walking into a store to confirm authenticity. Worth Avenue (Palm Beach) has many upper end establishments whom wouldn't dare do any authenticating what-so-ever. You would politely guided to the front door. Your big gun lamp does appear to be from Flos (I purposely didn't insert the word "vulgar" anywhere above..in any of this posting...nope) but does wear the wrong shade. Enjoy, Aunt Mark | |||||

There were no remnants of other fabric. There were no signs of repairs done to the upholstery. These nails were sticking out of the back of the chair just above the level of the seat. I believe they were driven in to anchor the fabric to the plywood back as you can see in the first photo. They would have been going through 1- or 2-inch thick latex foam right there.

| ... base. Assuming the owner isn't going to add structure to hide it, the base just needs to be painted a dark color -- ideally, black -- to make the house float above the ground. A couple of blocks of shrubbery, perhaps rounded or maybe severely tailored into rectangular solids, could punctuate the ground and extend the width of the house, without hiding that black base. Everyone wants to ding the false shutters -- but without them the fragile balance of window to wall is broken. The resulting composition would be frigid and the windows would look too small ... | |||||

| ... a track to an uneven wall. I didn't realise it was uneven until I attached the track; I just assumed it was vertical but found it bulged slightly. The track bent enough to accommodate this (it wasn't a huge bulge, as I said I hadn't noticed it at first), and attaching the shelves subsequently was not a problem. It might be worth trying it first, and if it doesn't work them move onto the x-profile plus e-track solution. In either case, Vitsoe will give clear and impartial advice for free! | |||||
