I would like personally to thank everyone for making it another great year over here at MidCenturyChicago. Here's to 2014! 

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to you and yours,

Sunbeam Mixmaster Mixer






Here is a very cool vintage Sunbeam Mixmaster mixer in absolutely outstanding condition. Includes the original pair of milk glass "Glasbake" mixing bowls, both bowls are 100% chip and crack free. As well as two beaters, power chord and hand made cover. Still works like a champ all these years later. Bowls spin while the mixer mixes, Sunbeam claims this will lead to a fluffier cake, if nothing else it looks cool. The top easily detaches to be used as a hand held mixer.

Nelson Style Daybed Sofa


Well I have been holding on to this guy for about a year now, using it as my shop sofa. It's very comfortable and is totally functional as is, but with a fresh set of cushion covers it would really be amazing. Take the back cushions off and you have a bed that can easily sleep a 6' person. This is a very nice take on the George Nelson Daybed which he designed for Herman Miller. 

Delivery available to Downtown or North Side residents for a small fee.

Length 76"
Depth 30"
Height at cushion top 29.5"

Set of 4 AllSteel Desk Chairs



Here is a set of 4 All Steel desk chairs in the Pollock style. All chairs tilt and swivel. 3 of the 4 rise and lower, one does not. Over all very nice, solid, hole hole/rip free condition. Chrome is nice and bright. Chairs would look even better with a good fabric steaming. Foam is very firm and chairs are very comfortable. All chairs have "IBM Property" decals on the legs. If you have a fresh start-up and are looking for some rad mid-century office chairs here ya go.

Herman Miller by Charles Eames "Racetrack" Table




Here is a beautiful Herman Miller walnut "racetrack" table (ET 156) with a custom glass top. This table is in amazing condition, as you can from the photos. The wood top itself shows minimal signs of wear and the wear  becomes even more minimal with the addition of the quarter inch thick glass top. The glass top has very little wear and appears to have been added much later in the tables life. This table could easily sit 8 people and I don't think it would be a stretch to comfortably seat 10. At 8 feet long, its a great size for a large dining table or conference table. 

 This table was designed by Charles and Ray Eames for the "Eames Aluminum Group" series in 1964 and  was built in January of 1978. Structurally this guy is solid as a rock and 100% wobble free. The aluminum legs and pedestals are also absolutely crack/bend free. Just a remarkable example of the Eames's beautiful modern design and Herman Miller's excellent craftsmanship.

Delivery available to Downtown and North Side Residents for a small fee. 

Length 96"
Depth 53"
Height w/ glass top 28.25"

John Widdicomb Lowboy Dresser w/ Mirror

Mirror mounts in photo are completely removable.

Here is an amazing John Widdicomb break-front lowboy dresser with detachable mirror. Aside from some surface wear on the dresser top, this piece is in exceptionally nice condition. The dresser features nine deep drawers (four of which have removable dividers) and some of the most beautiful wood grain you can find. The mirror is removable and has mounts on the back side that allow you to hang it horizontally or vertically, elsewhere in your abode. T.H. Robbs and John Gibbings designed this set for Widdicomb and the boy did they get it right! Medium walnut in color with brass accents, this dresser is as solid Plymouth rock, and nearly as heavy. Don't let the wight scare you, with the mirror and drawers removed its just a 2 man job to get it from point A to point B. Built in beautiful Grand Rapids, Michigan in the mid 60's.

Delivery available to Downtown and North Side residents for a small fee.

Richardson Nemschoff Armoire



Here we have an absolutely amazing Richardson Nemschoff "Black Walnut" armoire. This piece is as rare as it is beautiful. It's solid as a rock with tons of space inside. As you can see from the photos, this armiore is in wonderful, near mint, condition. The shelves on the left side are removable and/or adjustable. Built in Sheboygan, WI in the early 1960's this armiore is dripping with danish modern style. Without a doubt my favorite armoire to come through my shop thus far. I mean, look at that wood grain!

Width 41.75"
Depth 19.25"
Height 48"

This is part of a matching four piece king bedroom set, buy multiple pieces and save some cash.
