Estate Bust - Moller Chairs

This weekend there was another estate sale advertising danish furniture by my moms house. The fiasco began with the numbers left outside the day before being stolen and some old man was passing out his own numbers the morning of the sale - lets just say people were pissed!

The Moller chairs and table were sold before the sale day. He was asking $1000 but sold for $700. Mom said they were mint and would have looked perfect in my dining room. The nice credenza was sold the day before too. What's the point of the sale if your going to have a private one first. The Saarinen Knoll white set sold for $400 and is now for sale for $800.

 

Decided to go on the second day and there wasn't much left. Passed on a bright green Kartell bin cause of melted plastic damage, so sad. Some of the remnants found are three Boynton mugs new in the box, yellow enamel turkish pot SOLD.

Yellow Copco Spice rack. Silk Vera scarves for the sis. A ceramic mod vase by Naaman Artline of Israel SOLD and some little tin houses. Passed on lots of mismatched Rosenthal and very overpriced large collection of Swedish glass vases.

Estate - Bertoia Chairs

Haven't had a chance to photo my finds except for these four wire chrome Bertoia chairs. Originally, designed in 1952 for Knoll by Italy's Harry Bertoia. I'd say these were really popular 5-10 years ago, mine are dated 2001. While they were not the Design Within Reach (really?) $540 plus another $130+ for the seat pad maybe I a paid a decent price. Not a steal or a dealer would have snatched them up, right?

Think, I'll put them around the family room table. Course, I'll have to sell the chairs currently residing there. Oh la, my chair fetish.
