legless
Friday, 21 October 2011
Our local auction house peddles a huge amount of brown furniture, so we were quite excited when we got wind they were holding a 20th century sale. Before we hit the off, we did a quick recky online and there appeared to be a few bits and pieces that looked interesting - mainly Gispen, but then we like a bit of Gispen - so off we went. And we're jolly glad we did, as accompanying the catalogue was a hastily typed sheet of additional lots .... and 'hello' Herman Miller fibreglass shells! Yes, there they were, four of them, completely legless, perched atop a pair of industrial metal side tables. Their condition near perfect, Herman Miller stamps evident, shock mounts in situ, guide price for all four a snippet - bingo! We left a sealed bid. The sale is tomorrow, 10 o'clock sharp .....
Ooohh. That's a nice little surprise. I hope they will be yours. xx
ReplyDeleteHope you get them! Finding shells in great condition is always exciting.
ReplyDeleteBrismod: Maybe they are!
ReplyDeleteDana: Completely agree - their condition was faultless.
