| ... or harder pliers squeezing to get the clamped clip thin enough to fit in some grooves. Light tapping with a hammer also helps to get the clip in the groove, but somewhat difficult with one person if you are stretching at the same time. And since Mark is not here, I should add that I could be wrong. | |||||

| ... . . When legs are broken off, even when the pieces are saved, proper repair is difficult if not impossible -- certainly, invisible repair is out of the question. New material of full length is indicated. If this seating piece is to be repaired and then reupholstered, one would be better off starting from scratch -- it seems to me. | |||||

| This is not much help, but I had the same issue ordering knoll Schultz chaise chairs and the white petal table. I had a choice of glossy or matte (or powder coated?). I cant remember the exact descriptors. It was difficult because I had no idea on what I was truly ordering and I couldnt find pics or descriptions of the different finishes. I chose the matte finishes. I dont have the items yet, but they should be here soon. I think if I were you, I would choose the matte finish, especially with kids. It might be less likely to show scratches, plu ... | |||||
| Jesgord, that close weave isn | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Spanky | General discussion | |
| Jesgord, that close weave isn't all that difficult. I redid four Wegner cowhorn chairs awhile back as my first project with rattan (this size is binder cane, actually) and the hardest part was figuring out how to start a cane and finish it with a minimum of brads. The actual weave was easy---the cane is so flat and thin and smooth that is slips right into place. You just have to remember to weave with the grain of the cane, which you can figure out by feeling the node. It has a little tail end that will stick up if you go against the grain. There are pr ... | |||||

| This could possibly be English. I prefer Norwegian by a lot though. It could be Danish too. But the handle-less doors really was a very Norwegian thing; I have no idea why.. And I suspect it is going to be a very difficult piece to identify. I love seeing the hand work that Tktoo points out, but it also suggest it came from a very low volume shop, and quite possibly is custom, or semi custom (i.e. made to order), and finding documentation on that sort of thing can be very difficult. If you can find more drawers with those hand cut dovetails and that square ... | |||||

To start, I'd try to determine if the black is original and then test the finish with various solvents to figure out what it is. Inspect closely around screws and shock mounts under the seat panel. You should be able to see something that suggests originality one way or the other. We can go from there once that's been established. It might seem like a daunting endeavor at first. But, taken in steps, I don't think it would be all that diffi ... | |||||

| ... the Neal Auction Company in New Orleans, Louisiana a few years back. It is almost impossible to find someone with a vat large enough to resurface the chrome on the bases. I decided to have the bases stripped and powder coated as close to the original black as I could find. I bought the Knoll Classic Boucle fabric from a dealer on Ebay. Knoll calls the color I chose "Smoke". I stripped the chairs down to the fiberglass and applied fresh G-30 foam. I purchased new glides from Knoll International in Miami. The glides costs around $3 each plus shipping. ... | |||||

| Just wash them. A couple of drops of Dawn dishwashing detergent in a bucket of warm water and a soft bristle brush is all you need. Don't overdo it and rinse thoroughly. Avoid anything even mildly abrasive or containing oxidizers like bleach. A true verdigris patina can take a long time to develop depending on exposure and salinity of environment and there's no convincing method for reproducing or restoring such. You don't want to disturb any of it. Can't help with the weaving, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find a competent person in your area. Maybe ... | |||||

| No repair expert here but I doubt adding more epoxy around the edges would do anything helpful. In fact, it could do more harm by obstructing any physical deterioration of the mounts when they start to come apart, making it more difficult to notice early signs of repair needs. | |||||

| They remind me of Jordan Mozer, but they look a bit chunky. You say they are wood? It is difficult to tell from your photos, but could they be aluminum? If they were by Mozer, I would expect them to be aluminum. | |||||
| I'm sorry, but your picture | 1 Relevance | 12 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| I'm sorry, but your picture is terrible. A dark, blurry photo makes it very difficult to discern the details that would indicate the age of the chair. If you can post better picture particularly of the seat and the base, it would be helpful. However, from the mark you show and what appears to possibly be an intergrated seat pad I would venture to guess that it may be a very early 1st generation chair. Better pictures would help determine for sure. | |||||

I'm not confident that the legs would all come out equal in length. tktoo- I'd be happy to take you up on the offer one of these winter weekends. what are the dimensions of the Ash you have roughly? the slab is in 02478.

| What you found at the thrift | 1 Relevance | 11 years ago | Pegboard Modern | General discussion | |
| ... Miller who took parts from furniture that was in production and combined them or modified them to suit their needs or to just make use of the parts which were lying about. For example, we've seen Nelson tables with Eames legs attached, and we have seen a lot of case goods which were turned into storage for employees' garages or basements. It looks like someone took a spare Girard base and stuck a loose laminate top on it. While technically not a "Girard table" per se, it is still cool to find it cheap in a thrift store. I don’t think I would consider it “ex ... | |||||
