This retro pub set has a strong personality and is looking for a room to match! The bar stools feature swooping chrome frames and functional vinyl upholstery; the coordinating high-top table has a chrome base, and a black laminate top with a wide aluminum wrap. This set is the perfect size for small meals, card games, or getting homework done.

Condition: In good vintage condition for the most part. One seat has a pin-head sized hole, and the table has a nail-head sized chip in the center (pictured) as well as a nickel sized paint mark (also pictured) on the side. One stool is missing a screw, but stability and functionality are unaffected. Otherwise, everything's been cleaned and polished, and is ready to go.

Dimensions:
Table: 30"D x 41.75"H
Stools: 22"W x 21.75"D x 43.35"H (seat height: 30")

*Restoration Special*
Designed in the early ‘70s by mid-century artist and designer, Hugh Acton, these are recognized as the first ergonomic stackable armchairs of their time. Gracefully modern metal frames support each upholstered blue seat - a combination that is striking yet subtle.

Condition: These chairs need some TLC in order to get back to the condition of their glory days, which is why we're offering them at a discounted price. They would look absolutely stunning reupholstered (see pics for evidence of some pilling as well as small scuffs and scrapes on the frames) though one of them has a cracked corner where the screw was overtightened. These chairs are absolutely usable and comfortable in their current state, but they really deserve a chance to be spiffed up.

Dimensions: 20"W x 22"D x 30"H (back), 18”H (seat)

$30 each, or $100 for the set. Pick up in Springdale, AR; available for delivery in Northwest Arkansas ($25) or KC area ($50). DM to make an offer or to inquire about shipping.

SOLD If your space feels a bit dim and lacking in personality, here's an accent piece to pull your look together and brighten things up: a vintage adjustable pharmacy lamp. The lamp shade can be raised and lowered to accomodate your existing furniture, as well as swiveled to direct the light where you want it. The warm tone of the brass is complementary to wood floors and furniture, and pairs nicely with almost any color scheme. It would be perfect for a reading chair, bedroom, or office!

Condition: Good. The lamp is in perfect working order, and has been hand polished; however, there are a few small rust spots (see pictures) and some tonal variation to the finish of the pole, as well as scratches which are visible when viewed in a certain light.

Dimensions: 38"H (fully lowered) - 60"H (fully raised) x 18"W ; 11" base diameter.

Good design often has a connection with its environment, as expressed by the saying, “bringing the outdoors in,” Today, we’re collaborating with Anna Elizabeth McKinney on flipping the old expression around and bringing the inside out. Check out Anna’s page for more pics of this stunning and sophisticated chair juxtaposed with a forgotten wall in downtown Springdale, AR.

In honor of this project, we’ll be dropping the asking price on this pair of chairs down to $800. If you’ve just got to have these, but they’re not quite in the budget, DM us with an offer that makes sense to you! See our page for more pics and details.

Set of 4 Mid Century Spun Aluminum Nesting Kitchen Canister

This set is labeled flour, sugar, coffee, tea in a beautiful Art Deco style font of the front. The spun aluminum catches light just right and ads a nice but simple texture to them. They nest inside of each other with the lids on except for the largest one. The lid is dented in a bit where the k**b is so the lid won’t shut when they are nested. These would match pretty much any kitchen style and ad a nice sleek mid century touch to it. From some research I believe these are from the 1940’s and Italian made but I’m not positive. They have been cleaned and shined and are just waiting for you to take them home.

Condition: Good vintage condition with some typical scrapes, scratches, dents, and discoloring. The coffee lid has some staining and light discoloring that is shown in photos. The flour top is dented in where the k**b is but wasn’t noticeable until I tried to nest them. They all have some scratches and scrapes but since they are aluminum and probably 80 years old, they look pretty great.

Dimensions: Height is at top of k**b
Flour 9”H x 7”W
Sugar 8”H x 6”W
Coffee 7”H x 5”W
Tea 6”H x 5”W

1970's Brass Clam Shell Floor Lamp

Price reduced! Like Delroy Wilson back in '76, these Daystrom stools are still waiting. If you've already fallen in love with them, don't hesitate to reach out about getting together. These luxurious bar stools feature a combination of hand-polished chrome, supple faux leather upholstery with contrasting back straps, and a circular steel footrest with aluminum feet. A neutral palette of caramel and black gives these stools an overall toned down aesthetic, allowing them to integrate easily into nearly any style.

Condition: Two of the stools are in near-perfect condition, with only a few small specks of rust; however, the third stool does have a crack in the chrome at the top of one of the arm support posts (crack is not visible, and arm/back rest remains sturdy - no wiggle, etc.). All stools still have the original tag and stamped date of manufacture (Oct. 4, 1976).

Dimensions: 25"W x 20"D x 39"H

The '80s are making a comeback, but these Paoli armchairs never went out of style! Their sleek, angular wood frames are a carryover from the midcentury era, giving them a timeless aesthetic. The tufted upholstery features a red herringbone pattern accented with a blend of light neutrals - a delightful combination that gives the chairs an eyecatching pink tone, while still allowing them to coordinate easily with other pieces in a room. If your space could use a little warmth and personality, these chairs may be exactly what you're missing.

Condition: Good. Wear consistent with age - most noticeably in the form of some scratches and nicks along the edges of the frame. Upholstery is in great condition, excepting a couple of darker spots and some fading from the sun; it has been cleaned and is back to looking and smelling fresh! One chair is still tagged and dated #1986 . We're posting these chairs under market value in hopes they go to a home that will cherish them, not as a reflection of their condition!

Dimensions: 22.25"W x 24"D x 19.5"H (seat), 30.5"H (back)

*Price Reduction* 1970's Herman Miller fiberglass shell task chair with original yellow upholstery. Designed by Charles Eames for Herman Miller, this shell chair is classic retro '70s to a T, and it would be the perfect piece for anyone looking for a comfy task chair with elevated style. The original yellow upholstery really pops against any background.

Condition: In perfect mechanical working order with original casters and base cleaned up and working great. Upholstery has no tears but does show signs of typical age and wear in a few spots (pictured). Along the curves of the seat, the foam has hardened and has separated from the upholstery leaving some gaps between the shell and the upholstery. There is one crease that runs along the seat of the chair (pictured above). There is also one chunk taken out of the rubber upholstery liner (also pictured above). Dimensions: 25ʺW × 24ʺD × 31ʺH
