Vintage Dining

Today we had a sad farewell to our bright kitchen dining table. Unfortunately, we had grown too big for our bright green 1970s dining companion. Many a happy memory was had at this table.

1970s kichen table and Sebel chairs

 I do love this bold colour combination. The 1970s Sebel tulip chairs will still have a place within our home until our Hans Wegner original wishbone chairs have been restored. We are currently replacing our laminated vintage furniture with quality vintage wooden furniture.

 Here is a close up of the fabulous hardwood detail underneath the table. The metal hardware is uniform, so I assume the whole table construction happened at one time.

I am sure the new owner of this 1970s table will be just as happy as we were.

Mid-Century Copper Art

 Currently, I have this vintage, mid-century hammered copper wall art, for sale. 

The stylised ram, sculptural piece measures 91.5 x 56 cm. It is a quality heavy piece, signed 'Glover'. 

It does have patina, light verdigris due to its age. On close inspection it reflects many colours of the spectrum.

1970s Copper Wall Art

I do admire the boldness and brutality of the hammered technique and design. The stylised ram is reminiscent of neolithic art.

 The earthenware beaker below is from the neolithic period c 5000 - 4000 B.C.E.

 

Earthenware beaker c 5000-4000bce 11 1/4" from Susa. The Louvre, Paris.

Whilst learning about neolithic art in art history classes. I was blown away with the richness of their intellectual and artistic pursuits within the neolithic cultural heritage.

 Collectors of this copper art style are attracted to the works of Curtis Jeré. The name is a compound nom-de-plume of artists Curtis Freiler and Jerry Fels. The two founders combined pieces of their own names to create the C. Jeré signature. An example below is a 1977 piece titled Firmament.

Vintage Vixen and Vamps Fair VI

Once again, Vintage Space was a stall holder at the Vintage Vixen and Vamps Fair that was held at the Fremantle Town Hall on Sunday, 26th May 2013. 

A fabulous time was had by all with vintage styled entertainment and vintage treasures galore. With the explosion of vintage fairs abound, this is one fair where true vintage pieces are found. I do wish I went shopping for myself at the beginning of the fair once I discovered  the bargains that were found.

Here is a photo of the majestic town hall, taken from the stage. The audience were being thrilled by swing dancers at the time.

VVV Fair VI

The most popular vintage item from my stall was this 1950s men's felt fedora. Tried on by many a person, young and old. Purchased by a young man who was new to the vintage scene. Luckily his girlfriend is educating him to the finer things in life.

1950s Men's Fedora

Looking for forward to Vintage Vixen and Vamps Fair VII.

Which Vintage Era Floats Your Boat?

I love this photo of morphing styles through the decades.

Personally, I feel most comfortable in the mid 60's, as the last picture shows. Although I do admire how graceful the 1950s shape is and feel with the passing of time it is a more pleasing look in hindsight. How do you feel?

Which era floats your boat?
