Bassett "Avante" Full or Queen Bed



One of the hardest things to find is a cool mid century bed, why that is I don't know. And even when you do find one they are almost always full beds. Here we have an awesome 1969 Bassett "Avante" full or queen size bed, the frame and headboard will adjust to suit either. As you can see from the photos it's in near flawless condition. I purchased this from the original owner, it had been in the same house since it was  purchased new. The bed is part of a 4 piece set that I will be posting over the next few days. Buy multiple pieces and save some cash. 

Will deliver to Northside and Downtown residents for a small fee.

Dixie Lowboy Dresser w/ Mirror


 

Here we have a beautiful walnut nine drawer Dixie lowboy dresser with a removable mirror and a protective glass top. This handsome gent was made in Lexington N.C. and sold by the John M. Smyth Company, which during the 1960's had an eight story showroom at 20 N. Michigan right here in Chicago. This dresser has a touch of danish modern style to it, ya gotta love those recessed wooden drawer pulls. The cutaways on the bottom support are also a very nice touch, giving the dresser a weightless quality. The mirror is detachable and has wall mounts on the back so that you could hang it elsewhere in your abode. This guy is in wonderful condition and has a fresh new stain, gloss and wax on the dresser top. With the addition of the glass top (which is in perfect condition) it almost looks like a mirror. 

Will deliver for a small fee.

Lane 3 Piece Walnut & Burl Wood Living Room Set


It took me a month but I am finally all set up (for the most part) and will be posting more items in the following days.

Here we have a beautiful Lane living room set in the danish modern style. This was a top of the line set for Lane in the 60's, made of solid walnut with burl wood inlays. The two end tables are in near perfect condition, it looks like they spent the last 50 years in a time capsule. The square end table has two drawers for extra storage. The double decker coffee table is in good condition, but does have a few stains on the top level. The coffee table is a bit peculiar in the fact hat it is a double decker, it also has wooden covers that go over the cutouts on each end. This coffee table could also be used as an entryway table, you could put umbrellas in the cutaways. If you have a smaller living area the square end table is large enough to be used as a coffee table. Very solid, very sturdy, very rare,very cool.

I would like to sell this as a set, but if my work shop starts to fill up I will part them out to get room. So as for now I am not breaking the set up.

Will deliver to Northside and Down Town residents for a small fee.

Settling In

Well guys, I finally moved into my new place. I'm working out all the kinks and getting the new shop set up. So far so good. I'm heading to Boston this weekend in search for some nice east coast vintage pieces. Currently I am sold out of all items on my blog, but I do have some goodies laying in wait. 

Stay tuned.
