| Dear All, | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | dr_ginnire | General discussion | |
| ... acid route. At least trying in a very small patch. Alternatively, I'll get the professionals in to resand the lot. Just quickly, would you treat the dark and light stains differently. For example no BKF or oxalic acid on the former? Am I ok just wire wooling the target areas and then seeing how it looks with some oil after? I'm worried it will come up different to the rest of the table top. If so though I get a professional could salvage if I was not heavy handed in area. Thanks everyone. Much appreciated.

| Dovetails, like on the Wegner | 1 Relevance | 10 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| ... have tails on one side and pins on the other, so you have to cut each side of the joint differently, and it is harder and trickier to remove the wood because the the sides of the tails and pins are angled. Dovetails are also a better joint in that they mechanically lock in one direction. Finger joints (box joints) are strictly held together with glue. Of course there is a lot of glue surface with either one so they are both very strong joints. Dovetails were originally conceived for producing case pieces before PVA glue was invented, when it was only hid ... | |||||

| Object "Somebody probably bought these chairs for something like 50 bucks at a surplus/estate/etc. type of a sale, and then somebody else paid 449 on ebay for one of them. If you're the 50 buck guy/gal you really can't go wrong (that's the end I like to stay on) but it takes "luck", knowledge and patience. If you're ready to drop 500 then you would shop differently, and likely purchase a finer example." Couldn't have said it any better myself. Spot on. | |||||

| ... and patience. If you're ready to drop 500 then you would shop differently, and likely purchase a finer example. As far as I can tell, the very fact that people so frequently have the question of whether an item is "faked" or not, regardless of how obviously original and VERY CLEARLY MARKED it may be really speaks to the general shittiness of the ebay market. | |||||

I just wanted to see if anyone had more info on the chair. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Danish-Modern-lounge-Chair-Pappa-Bear-Pearsall-W... | |||||
| On my vintage Bird chair | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | fastfwd | General discussion | |
| On my vintage Bird chair those two wires at the neck of the backrest don't quite reach to the edge. The gap is not as pronounced as on your chair, but I think that is only because newer chairs like yours are shaped slightly differently in that area. My old chair has double-wire edges all around, so I cannot compare the configuration of the wires at the top of the backrest to yours. | |||||
| Yes, most all Warhol works | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Eameshead | Off topic | |
| ... prints" technically… But when something gets to be so large that it operates on the scale of painting, and is on canvas, I tend to think of it as painting. (It's funny where each person draws the line when it comes to definitions. Like for me, if its on paper its a "print", but if its big and on canvas, it has the presence of a "painting") I wonder if Mark's is on paper or canvas? And how big is it? And yes SDR, I would think that scale would have a profound impact on your work. The size and frequency and SUBTLETY of the repeat-- and how long it takes to re ... | |||||
| I don't think it's Robsjohn | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| I don't think it's Robsjohn-Gibbings. His chairs with this style frame (round profile parts, mitered joints on the corners) always had a top rail on the back done in the same was as the arms and seat frame. Also, your chair's seat frame is constructed differently. It has a deeper frame, probably to accomodate coil springs. You can tell by the welt that goes around the middle of the seat. This is done so that when the coils are compressed, the upholstery fabric doesn't bag out on the sides overly much---it will only balloon out above that line of welt be ... | |||||
| Can't take all the credit,I | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | gregward | General discussion | |
| Can't take all the credit,I did have the spinning and the brass turning done by specialists. Getting the correct shapes was tricky, luckily the re-edition Casquette shades are not hand deformed so with trial and error I got it. Both shades come from the same spinning just hand cut and shaped differently [by me]. Serge Mouille really was a genius. The brass knuckles were made by gas fitting manufacture. Normally they make pipe elbows etc. Took us ages to get the compound curves correct. I ended up destroying my re-edition ones in the process as they were gl ... | |||||
| I know enough about Eames | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | cdsilva | General discussion | |
| ... that is where my interests mostly lie. And since there are certain early Eames pieces that currently command high prices, there are a few unscrupulous (and some clueless) people out there that look to mix newer components with older components, then pass it off as all old original. I think the inquiry portion of your post is perfectly fine, and a good thread to keep in the DA archives. I personally don't care about valuation requests or sales pitches one way or the other, but since those are against forum rules, then I'll happily abide by them. Once agai ... | |||||
| Cynic, yes. | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | leif ericson - Zephyr Renner | General discussion | |
| Cynic, yes. I have been known to be cynical. But if I were to express myself differently, I'd say that it isn't my subjective experience of the market that Pearsall is overlooked. (The market is not article writers nor scholars) In fact I wouldn't be terribly surprised to see him enjoy a few minutes of article writing glory and following that scholarly mention. However as spanky, woody, and cubby mentioned there are aesthetic and functional flaws in his oeuvre that have made it less desirable than his peers, and those same flaws are likely to limit his glor ... | |||||

| One more post on this one... | 1 Relevance | 13 years ago | cubby01 | General discussion | |
| One more post on this one... One more post on this one for now. Now that I've looked at it in more detail I noticed the weft on the seat is done a little differently than I've seen in other versions of this chair. The weft cord on the seat appears to be a single long cord, but the way it's done makes it fairly easy to manage. See last picture on how they just run a cord through the loops so that it locks and won't pull back through the slot. Is that a good technique? For reference, 3 pics below; Closeup of seat weft loops. (sorry that ones a little fuzzy ... | |||||
| Huh...that's not the same | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Huh...that's not the same sofa that you linked to in your #2 entry on this thread, which is the one I looked at when I said that it wasn't Pearsall. They have the same base but the rest of the sofa is very different. As for yours: 1. The shape of the sides of the back and the way they joint the arms looks like many Pearsall chairs but I don't think I've ever seen this in a sofa by Pearsall. 2. The padding is done differently on the arms and back but maybe this was changed when it was reupholstered. I think you said it had been reupholstered, right? It l ... | |||||
