Ca. 1956 Adrian Pearsall for Craft Associates Stool

Early Adrian Pearsall Craft Associates Stool

Early Adrian Pearsall Craft Associates Stool

This stool is a very early and rare example of Adrian Pearsall’s work with Craft Associates. Before he began working with walnut Pearsall used wrought iron for a few of his projects. The early tag cites Kingston, PA as headquarters instead of the more common Wilkes Barre. Freshly reupholstered!

Tiffany China / Eames

Tiffany/Minton China

Three Eames

Three Eames

I don't usually mess around with glassware/china (too much to break), but made an exception for a friend. The previous owner of this set was an executive for the Pennsylvania Railroad, a quite appealing group.

Three Eames chairs! The red DCW has been on the blog before, but now I have a Ca. 2000 LCW and quite early DCW Black. It has the 5-2-5 screw pattern on the bottom.

Circa 1954 Eames Side Shell Chair

Label

Front


This beautiful grey-blue Eames Side Shell Chair was produced around 1954, and predates the rope-edge zenith production. Additionally, this incredibly rare chair is so early that it has no embossing and a chrome plated steel x-base. The "Shipped From Venice" label is among the hardest to find, and appeared on all chairs shipped from the Eames Office at 901 Washington Boulevard.

Jens Risom Bench and Risom Style Desk Chair

Risom Style Desk Chair


Jens Risom is one of my all-time favorites. At 93 he is one of the last important mid-century designers still with us. Perhaps more impressive, Jens has continued practicing his trade. Recently, Design Within Reach released a new Risom line.

This little desk chair is quite sturdy and rather comfortable. The Risom bench is perhaps his Jens' most famous and desirable creation. This beauty has been completely redone.

SOLD



Above Jens Risom is pictured with a few other fellas, image courtesy of Playboy.
