Just thought I would pass along this link to one of my favorite auction houses/resources. Only recently have they made their auctions available online and I am torn as to whether to reveal them to y'all or not.
The attraction here is that the auction house is physically located in The Middle of Nowhere, South Carolina. 99.9% of their offerings have Mahogany Association Stickers on them. BUT!! In almost every auction they have a few (1 or 2) pieces of some interest to mid-century enthusiasts.
For example, at their Labor Day auction last weekend, I got a rosewood Eames lounge chair and ottoman for 1400 USD. On the auction listing, they had it spelled Charles Ames. 'Nuff said.
Look at the Salterini set, item 423, and the Drexel table on the auction that ends tonight.
P.S. I have been going to this auction for almost 20 years. They are "good people" and will work with you on shipping, etc.
wow..
nice table, "profile line" I believe and priced right!
Here is another online auction that gets some interesting stuff...I just missed one for Sony's pictures prop house auction. They had a few interesting lamps and of course bad listings and pictures, so sure to have had some good deals.
A few I liked:
#3361 "large prop sattelite", sure does look like a space age chandlier to me? only sold for $56. http://server2.maxanet.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?spear6/3361
#3685 "human flight apparatus" sold $66.01. http://server2.maxanet.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?spear6/3685
#3177 "vintage "space age" hanging light, Sold $80. Maybe Sciolari? http://server2.maxanet.com/cgi-bin/mnlist.cgi?spear6/3177
