Large Low Vintage Walnut Coffee Table

I don't have any info on the manufacture or design details of this piece.  There is a hand written number on the bottom which appears to be a date code dating it to 1976.  That aside, it is a very nicely made piece.  The legs and table edges are all solid walnut.  The walnut veneers on the top have great cathedrals and grain patterns and are richly colored.  This could be used as a coffee table in a larger room or grab some floor cushions and have a cool asian styled tea table.  The entire table has just been refinished and looks beautiful!

Dimensions: 60"L x 32"W x 16"H

Danish Mid Century Slat Bench

This one sold before I could post it, so I'll be brief.  The bench was made in Yugoslavia and is likely Danish designed.  It is similar to a George Nelson bench with the wide slats but has tapered dowel legs.  The profile is unique with the chevron or wing shape.  It is solid beech construction finished in a warm teak tone.

Restored Recliner by Milo Baughman for James Chair Inc.

An early version of an iconic design by Milo Baughman.  James Inc. was Thayer Coggin's first funiture company.  Coggin met Baughman in 1951 and started a 5 decade long collaboration of design and manufacturing.  Coggin's company later changed is name to reflect its founder, Thayer Coggin.

The importance of this chair design is evidenced by the fact that a variation of it is once again in production for Design Within Reach (with the integrated footrest).

Early versions, such as this one, did not have the integrated footrest.  The entire seating assembly reclines as one piece, so the angle between the back and the seat does not change.  With a place to prop your feet this chair is just as comfy in the reclined position as it is in the upright position.  The chair was just completely restored with the wood frame being refinished in a walnut color and the seat having all new padding and fabric.  The fabric is medium gray nubby wool woven on an indigo backing that subtly shows through.  The reclining mechanism is fully functioning making this chair look and function as nearly new.  As the cooler weather approches grab this chair to ad to your hip living space and get comfy with a book or watching a flick.

Dimensions: 29"W x 36"D x 40"H (at back) 16" seat height at center

Restored Mid-Century Faux Leather and Walnut Bench

I haven't done a piece like this before.  It wouldn't normally seek out something like this but it was available when I was buying another piece.  When I looked closely and noticed the frame was made of solid walnut I thought it would be worth grabbing.  The original tufted vinyl was shot.  It has just been reupholstered with new foam and black faux leather.  The solid walnut frame was just refinished.  So, the piece looks and functions as new.  Its a unique piece at a great price.

Walnut End Table by Founders Furniture

I've now seen enough furniture from Founders to recognize the serial number scheme and know this was made by Founders.  I've also seen some pieces with matching legs and drawer pulls (and also with his trademark cane doors) attributed to Jack Cartwright and am pretty confident this is one of his designs.  As with all the Founders pieces, the construction quality is evident with the use of solid walnut for the legs (ebonized at the factory), solid walnut edges on the case and beautiful veneers.  This table has a couple of useful, slim drawers for stashing remotes, magazines, coasters, etc.  It is finished on all sides so could be floated in a room or used as a coffee table.  I was tempted to strip the ebonizing from the legs to reveal the walnut but opted to leave it as it was originally built.  The table has been stripped sanded and refinished and now looks nearly new.

Danish Teak Expanding Dining Table

I can't quite make out the maker's mark on the bottom of the table, looks like _ _ rup (Farup?).  It is also tough to tell just how vintage it is.  It is a pretty table with great teak figuring that with the veneer layup looks like arrows or long triangles.  The grain pattern extends on the leaves giving it a very cohesive look.  The leaves slide out of the ends and are conveniently stored under the top when not in use.  The legs are solid square teak.  It is pretty small and would work well in a small dining nook or a small apartment or condo.  It has just been completely refinished with a durable finish that should last decades with little care.
