The Last Thing You Acquired #24  

oh oh oh
yellow side shells bought off a front porch for a song
which "justifies" the purchase of a "case study low wire base" I've been thinking about for the last hundred years, happy solstice-time to me-

Panton Spiegel lamps
Found two Verner Panton Spiegel lamps in orange last week.
I am stoked to have a set of nine now!

Eames LTR
This showed up in the mail today. Seller didn't think it was real due to the lack of label. It's got the zinc finish on the legs. Evidence of two labels, one circular and one rectangular on the bottom. What do you all think?

Obviously real. Version with...
Obviously real. Version with solid core, not plywood.

blocking?
There is usually some blocking visible on both ends of the solid core LTR's.
The sides are indeed smooth and continuous, but the shorter ends of these tables usually show five or six vertical separations where the different wood pieces are glued together. I don't see them in this photo.
EDIT: On second look, the blocking might be there after all. Just hard to tell from this photo.

$1 is a good deal for any table, but the table is not by Grossman. It has been incorrectly attributed to her before and I've seen it attributed to Swedish company Dux as well.

As this thread is on the top...
I'll tell you about the $25 I found on the ground during my morning run today-
woo-hoo

do you know who the actual designer/manufacture is?....every other example of this table on the web attributes it to Greta Grossman.
someone felt confident enough to pay 1400.00 for the Greta Grossman "style" table at Icollector

No, sorry I don't know who...
No, sorry I don't know who made it unfortunately...
Yes, I agree it's a popular attribution, but this happens a lot. Dealers see a similarity to the designs of a famous designer and add their name to their listings. After enough people start to repeat the attribution, it almost becomes considered a "fact", until proven incorrect...
I always take online attributions with a pinch of salt, unless I know the seller is trustworthy (and most sellers are not, imho), or if I can access proper documentation...
I've seen many of these tables sell on Ebay and CL and believe you could probably get somewhere around $400-500 on ebay, so it's still a pretty good buy at $1!

yeah...pricewise...I was...
yeah...pricewise...I was thinking the same...1400.00 is a bit crazy...but the auction was in LA and people are MCM crazy over there....there is one on ebay right now for 500.00 its pretty beat compared to the one I have though.

Looks like Peter Hvidt Silver Line Series

asd, as tchp says it is designed by Peter Hvidt & Orla Molgaard Nielsen for the silverline range.
It is a very rare chair. Please be sympathetic in your restoration and treat it to some nice quality fabric.
