| Persistence... Barry, You're nothing if not persistent when it comes to your theories on those ceramic clocks. Actually, just today I received a bunch of old, original Howard Miller catalogs that I had ordered a couple of months ago (but were shipped to a different address). Anyway, the 1968-1969 catalog clearly identifies your "coffin" clocks, the Number 571 Roman Numeral Ball Clock Nelson-knockoff discussed in a prior thread, and ... yes ... each of the ceramic clocks as "Designed by Arthur Umanoff Associates." In fact, there is a separate "Howard Mille ... | |||||

I stick to glass, metal and stoneware products whenever cooking and storing food. Looking at getting new windows, and avoiding vinyl clad ones, opting for aluminum clad. It's not the .000005ppm I'm concerned about, it's the sum total of every chemical we are exposed to. This includes the product, the production of product, production of materials, and all waste from the entire chain. Th ... | |||||

I have seen it done where someone has taken off the cover and cleaned it and it looks great, the only thing i can say about this is, They must have a lot of time on their hands cause this is not how i would want to spend a Saturday, but if it is your passion to have a fiberglass shiny seat from the factory go for it, c ... | |||||

| victoria vs louis ghost first of all there are no knock-offs of these chairs....... it is too difficult and expensive to produce for anyone to try to knock them off . that said they are marked kartell on the seat ends. neither of these will be collectible for another 10-15-20 years... so just buy what you like or what fits. | |||||
| Even the new ones | 1 Relevance | 18 years ago | LuciferSum | General discussion | |
| Even the new ones Even the new ones only have the clear-coat on the arms and antlers. Which means the aluminum base will oxydize over time - making it that leaden grey color. I spent about an hour cleaning my base to get rid of the oxydation - but without a mop-wheel it's difficult to get the bright finish. Personally I like mine a little better thant the very bright ones. It's clean, but not flashy and attention grabbing. | |||||

| Knud Albert info wanted... Refering to Jesgord post above... Although the quality of your pics are not the best, the sculpture sertainly are, I also love his work. I have a small collection (pic can be put on the web if requested) but there is one thing that is difficult to find and that is information regarding this Knud Albert, I have searched but got nothnig to show for it. Is there anyone having information regarding Knud Albert, when he was active, where he worked how many sculptures he produced.... basically any information would be appreciated. | |||||

| whenever I find a computer... I will try to give you an update. First of all your reactions are moving me to tears. It is difficult not to feel the genuine warmth and concern that inspires your generosity. But to be honest there are people that need your help more than I will ever need it, so your concern is already more than one could hope for. We are still not allowed to visit the house to pick up some of the daily necessities that one starts to appreciate more and more. The house is still standing, not horisontally as usual, but few things are as usual so ... | |||||

| ... clocks imported from Italy. As far as the orange clock, I love the design (2271), but I wouldn't have any idea how to fix the orange color, and I wouldn't want to try. By the way, I got a really nice Ball clock on eBay delivered yesterday (I won it for only $265.00)! It's the all brass model, electric with the natural wooden balls. The back is a thin masonite material with the gold Howard Miller label, so I'm guessing it's earlier than those with the number stamped zinc backing. The only issue was it had a short chord (with the proper hole in the bottom o ... | |||||

| ... been told. But, that is probably obvious just from looking at one. One thing that might complicate re-cording a seat is how far these original nails have been driven in. On my Moller chairs, it looks like it could be difficult to get new cord under these nail heads without pulling the nails out, or having to replace them with new nails. That is the main reason I have been thinking of using black leather or vinyl. I guess what I am uncertain about with the leather/vinyl Moller seats is what supports the seat/padding itself -- Be it a wood panel, or some ki ... | |||||

| Thanks SDR, I've admired the... Thanks SDR, I've admired the table but have never seen an original; and at $4000, will never have a new one. The angular folded steel, I imagine, makes it a bit difficult to produce. The top is stated as oak veneer, I think. I'm guessing it's a pretty heavy/stable piece. A 'lighter' chair choice makes for an interesting contrast. Don't know where the mismatched idea came up. I need to re-read the post. I simply thought that the EM table could be pretty compatible/striking with the right matched set of non-Prouve chairs. As for ... | |||||

| I have a gray one That was painted over in a similar color. I tried to use that citrus based paint remover (forget the name) that is supposedly "safe" for plastic. It looked like it ate through the clear coat. The underlying dyed plastic looked okay, but it is a mess to clean up so the final result is not that great without further work or meticulous clean-up effort. The curves on the Tulip may also prove to be difficult areas to work with. | |||||

Fortunately the pieces I have researched, longed for and eventually purchased bring me great joy daily and through the years. I am guilty of over consumption so that I can decide later if it will remain rather than regret not having made the purchase. This affliction leaves me in a personal quandary as I have an aversion for materialism and my space is becoming filled with lamps to better illuminate my chairs where I sit to ... | |||||

| ... game. (add Greta Grossman too). I really like Rissom, Wormley and McCobb, but their stuff is a bit difficult to find and usually the good stuff is pricey. The only McCobb I have is a handful of Planner Group pieces, which were the most popular and cheapest line he designed. The directional and Calvin groups are much more elegant and pricey. Of all, though, I think the Edward Wormley Dunbar pieces are timeless, elegant and very conversatively designed. Beautiful furniture. | |||||
