Small Atomic Style Side Table or Coffee Table with Magazine Shelf

Jon Nix — Tue, 15 Sep 2020 09:27:00 +0000

An elegant small side table or coffee table with characteristic atomic style legs and a faux wood effect surface. The black covered metal legs feature white caps and the angles and slender lines add to the visual effect, whilst the magazine shelf and dimensions make for an eminently practical piece of furniture for a mid-Century style home.

The table measures approximately 75.5 cm (width) by 30cm (depth) by 43cm (height) - 29¾ in. by 12 in. by 17 in. - with the magazine shelf approximately 15cm (6 in.) from the floor. The table collapses flat to a height of about 10cm (4 in.), simply by removing the struts which attach the legs to the shelf, which then is separated from the rest of the table. It is not without a few minor cosmetic issues - notably some peeling of the plasticised wood effect surface on two of the corners, some general wear to the black surface covering of the legs, and some patches of discolouration to the faux wood surface (please review the photos) but these do not detract too significantly from the overall look of the piece.

Genuine Vintage Atomic Ferris Wheel style Red Wire Egg Holder

Jon Nix — Sun, 16 Aug 2020 12:51:15 +0000

A genuine and original vintage egg holder in an unusual Ferris Wheel style design, made of red plastic coated wire with white capped feet - definitely nodding towards an atomic / sputnik look. An unusual kitchen accessory for those wanting to keep the Mid-Century aesthetic running throughout their home... even down to how their eggs are stored!

In good used condition with some wear to the plastic coating in places but structurally sound and still very, very usable. The holder measures approximately 17cm (6¾ in.) in height and width, with a depth of 6cm (2¼ in.). The circular "holder" section has a diameter of approximately 13cm (5 in.).

Early 1960s Empire Porcelain “Calypso” Atomic Tea Tray

Jon Nix — Fri, 19 Oct 2018 08:19:05 +0000

This is an Empire Porcelain "Calypso" tea tray made in 1961 and featuring a bold atomic style design, with bright clear colours on a smooth gloss white base. The pattern contrasts black wavy lines and dots with elliptical shapes in red, blue, yellow and green with their own interior black line detailing. Quite the look!

The base is dated 6-61 (June 1961) and embossed with the shape number "754". The tray is in good condition considering its age with no chips, cracks or crazing, but with some minor wear to the design and one or two marks on the underside of the tray which are not noticeable in use. Outer dimensions are 26cm (10 in.) x 16cm (6½ in.) x 2.5cm (1 in.)

Very Large West German Schlossberg Keramik “Staufen” Vase

Jon Nix — Fri, 07 Sep 2018 16:58:04 +0000

Coming in at a whopping 36cm high, this Schlossberg Keramik vase made in the early 1960s in West Germany, is as much a piece of sculpture as it is a ceramic item. Decorated in the "Staufen" design it is a visually stunning piece with a dark grey striped ground punctuated by raised white lines and panels of colour: red, yellow and a greenish-blue. It's an eye-catching design with an Atomic style, slightly bulging middle and curved rim and at the size that it is, it would certainly make an impact in anyone's home.

The vase is in excellent unchipped and uncracked condition. There are some very minor blemishes and one section of vertical white stripe is slightly lacking towards the top, but this appears to be from the original manufacturing process rather than anything that happened to the vase subsequently.

The base has the Schlossberg mark on it and the form number impressed into it. The mark is not absolutely distinct - it would seem to be "101/36" but we could be mistaken about that.

We welcome offers on this outstanding and unusual piece and are happy to discuss price and shipping/collection options with any interested parties.

Atomic-Era Magazine Rack in Black Wire with Red Wooden Ball Feet

Jon Nix — Thu, 07 Jun 2018 17:04:33 +0000

An iconic piece of atomic-era styling, this newspaper/magazine rack features simple but effective black wire structure and red wooden ball "feet". Clean lines and functional styling make this an ideal incidental piece for a retro interior.

Ours has signs of age and wear - particularly to the feet which have some fading and usage marks - which are reassuringly authentic. There's no sign of the feet being re-painted, which we think is preferable to an over-the-top paint job! If you want a perfect item, please don't buy an original and used one ;)

The magazine rack measures 29cm (11½ in.) across, is 39cm (15½ in.) high at its maximum and has a depth of 25 cm (10 in.)
