..Mmmmmmm…Saarinen marble oval dining table, one would look so perfect in our apartment. Loving the tiled floor too.
Furniture
Oh for a huge open loft apartment….
Happy weekend everyone!
…It’s here…at last!!! It was a vision of gorgeousness as the two delivery men carried it towards me.
The wood is much darker and the grain is far richer than the pics on the Evilbay listing which is good because sideboards from the 60’s/70’s can be a bit too orange for my liking. Overall it’s in fantastic condition with only very small marks here and there. David loves it too which can only be a bonus because if he didn’t he would make disparaging comments about it forever more like he does about the Nagel candle holders I bought.
I’m grinning like a Cheshire cat…
Have a great weekend all.
…sighing because I have at last got my hands on a gorgeous sideboard! I had been watching it for a week and I had seen a few of the same design go in the past but had always lost out on them so I was determined that it was going to be mine.
There was a minute left and I was poised and ready thinking that the price was going to go stratospheric so I placed my bid…..but oh fuck I wasn’t logged in and the interboogle slowed down! I kept my cool, my heart racing and hoped for the best and yes I won by a half of a second! I got it for a fantastic £132 as well! I couldn’t believe it, fate was on my side and it was meant to be.
It was designed by Nils Jonsson and was made for Troeds Bjarnum of Sweden in the 1960’s. Mine is called the “Trento” and is solid teak. Below are a couple of variations of another version called the “Florens”…
…The one below is mine and gorgeous it looks too. It’s in very good condition apart from a little damage on the bottom of the left door which is hardly noticeable and could be easily repaired.
Below is another variation of the “Trento” and mine may just end up looking like it…
