Fitz & Floyd, lithophanes, mid century finds, and more

The beautiful old camelback sofa went on its way this afternoon, first to a wood refinisher (A&D Furniture Repair in Lake Stevens) before heading to Jeffries Upholstery for its glorious new cover. I'm looking forward to showing you before and after photos, after....

So, we're looking forward to a 1980's rose sofa and loveseat delivery on Friday, and I'll try to get a photo up soon after.

Meanwhile, here are some new photos for you to enjoy:

A 3-quart Fitz & Floyd pitcher from 1988:

A luminous lithophane portrait in the bottom of a teacup, part of a Hayasi Kutani set:

Hadn't heard of lithophanes before this was consigned. Fascinating process, if you are interested: http://www.lithophanemuseum.org/what_is_a_lithophane.htm

A Danish modern mid century chair that can be taken apart for shipping or storage, and then easily reassembled to become quite sturdy and sleek again:

And, yes, it was...

And here's a comfy place to leave you, in the presence of 5 Polo Bear pillows by Ralph Lauren:

Already a week into July! - Updated 7/10/10-

Have been very busy with the new month. Hope you will come by soon to see how we are rearranging. And of course there is ALWAYS something new in the shop.

Here's today's catch. I've never seen a couch with this styling. Vintage mid-century. Soft and comfortably creaky leather. I was there during the mid-century, but such hip style statements didn't make it to our working class home:

UPDATE: This couch sold 7/10/10. The new owners packed into their Mini-Cooper by dismantling all the modules! Turns out those over-size rivets were functional bolt heads, not just decor. Those Finns! That is the way to make furniture.

And here are the dolls that came in last week. Please spread the word; these must sell quickly:

There's more new than I've shown here, so click on our flickr gallery (behind George the Cat to the right), or our craigslist ads (behind the oak table photo to the right).
