This was meant to communicate to the buyer:
"You're not considering mere metal blinds, you're considering metal blinds cast off by a person of Taste & Refinement, dammit!"

Anybody think
these are fifty years old ?
I want the Calder book. I lost my 50's MoMA book years ago -- is this the same one, reissued at some point ? Anybody know ?

This is hilarious. People...
This is hilarious. People will attach anything to modern design it seems.

No WAY these are as old as claimed.
Nobody except my German grandmother could clean forty-year-old blinds so fastidiously, and she's been dead for decades.

Those are IKEA
blinds from the 1980's. I had the exact same ones in blue in my son's nursery in 1982. The dude does get an "A" for effort though for throwing those books on there.
Talk about lipstick on a pig!

I had a set in red for my home office.

The guy who is selling these...
The guy who is selling these also runs the TC MCM page on Facebook, his name is Jake, from what I can tell, he is a good dude, may not be aware that these are IKEA.

Vintage IKEA
Is highly desirable and valued.

This brings up a good...
This brings up a good question though. What type of window treatments look best with mid-century modern decor. In terms of personal preference, I like Roman shades better than venetian blinds, but not sure they would look right with my decor. Right now, I have regular uninspired white venetian blinds that they cato always messes up getting in and out of the windows. I'm not a huge fan of curtains especially when there is really nice woodwork around they windows...curtains just take awayes from nice woodwork, IMHO. What does everyone else use that a cat won't ruin?

Vertical blinds.
The street glass of the Museum of Modern Art sported these in the 'fifties -- I know because I saw them -- and I knew an architect then who patented Thru-Vu vertical blinds, the ones in use at MoMA. There was a short ball chain connecting the bottoms of each fabric vane, so they would turn in unison.
They're nice because you can direct the view where you like, and get privacy and light at the same time. Today they're made of plastic, without the chains -- perfect for a cat ?
