1950s Black and Cream Sgraffito Table Lamp Stand

Jon Nix — Mon, 04 Sep 2023 15:09:09 +0000

An unusual table lamp stand, not only in the sense that it features a very attractive black and cream sgarffito design and elegant shape, but also in the sense that it is a survivor. Solid but made from a relatively delicate material, possibly a chalk variant, it's done very well to remain mostly intact. It dates from the 1950s and probably has its origins on the continent of Europe, possibly Spain.

The stand measures 28cm up to the bulb holder with a base diameter of just over 8cm. There are signs of age and use throughout and some minor losses, but in this particular case it just adds to the charm of the item. Almost certainly when it was first made it was a brighter white, but it has aged to a cream tone.

Please note:, this is only the lamp stand, no shade is provided.

Vintage 1950s Hand Painted “Gaiety” Two Tier Cake Stand, James Kent Old Foley

Jon Nix — Fri, 14 Apr 2023 17:21:42 +0000

A rare and stunning "Gaiety" two tier cake stand, with a handpainted design in one of the classic colour combinations of the 1950s - black, red and yellow. Made by James Kent under the "Old Foley" brand, the stand consists of two gently scooped plates, with a central removable stand and handle. The lower of the two plates in the stand measures approximately 22cm (8¾ in.) in diameter, whilst the uppermost measures approximately 16cm (6¼ in.) in diameter and the gap between them is approximately 10cm (4 in.). The central column is removable in two screw-in pieces. The overall height of the assembled cake stand, including the handle, is 24cm (9½ in.).

Vintage Perpetual Luminous Calendar Wall Mount or Desk Standing

Jon Nix — Mon, 30 Sep 2019 13:46:53 +0000

Just ever-so-slightly kitsch magnetic luminous perpetual calendar, presumed to be made in the 1960s or 1970s in Hong Kong. The case of curved white plastic with textured black reverse houses a calendar which is set using the orange magnet which attaches to the front. The magnet is used to drag a luminous section of orange to the appropriate day name, day number and month. The calendar can either be wall mounted or used via a fold out stand on a desk or table in a standing position.

That's really all there is to it, but we like it. We think someone else will find its simplicity and look to be appealing and fun too.

The calendar measures approximately 24cm by 16cm by 2cm and is in good condition.

Small Brass Concorde Jet Desk Ornament

Jon Nix — Thu, 17 Jan 2019 12:18:08 +0000

Of undetermined origin but seemingly of some age, this nicely detailed small brass Concorde desk ornament on a stand might suit a collector of Concorde-related memorabilia, a general aviation enthusiast, or simply someone who wants a small taste of the jet age on their desk. The plane sits on the stand via a ball joint which allows for positioning and also screw which provides a more fixed placement.

The ornament is in good condition and measures approximately 8cm long, 5cm wide and 6.5cm high.

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.)

Teak and Chromed Metal Decorative Plant Pot Stand

Jon Nix — Tue, 05 Jun 2018 23:01:28 +0000

The solution to the dull plant pot holder?! This teak and chromed metal stand puts bland plant pots in the shade, with its petal shaped-design, feet and teak base, it has a mid-century modernist - almost Atomic - style to it.

It is 17.5cm (7in.) tall and the maker is unknown, but we wouldn't at all be surprised if it originated from Denmark. The stand is in good condition - only very minor signs of wear and tear and a pair of mystery holes on the underside!

Elegant Mid-Century Style Teak Lamp Base and Shade

Jon Nix — Tue, 17 Apr 2018 07:53:27 +0000

We're not sure of the origins of this teak table lamp base, but what is certain is that has great styling. Regardless of where it was made and who made it - there are no maker's marks and it might very well be a one-off piece - it indisputably has a mid-century aesthetic which holds great appeal. We particularly like the slender and slightly tapered upright and the subtle sculpting to the base. We have restored the wood and paired the lamp stand with a teal colour shade which we think is the perfect complement to it.

The stand measures 25 cm (10 in.) to the bulb holder and the base has a diameter of 16 cm (6¼ in.). With the shade, the lamp measures 40 cm (16 in.) tall. The lamp looks to have its original thin wiring - which is a good length - and takes a bayonet bulb. There is some minor wear to the base and we have replaced the protective felt on the underside of it as the original was not in good shape.

Carved wood animal bottle stoppers with stand

Jon Nix — Sat, 23 Sep 2017 11:27:33 +0000

Sometimes we come across items for which words alone aren't enough and this is one of them. What can we say about it? Well, at the outset it's a set of carved wooden bottle stoppers with a stand. For some reason - answers on a carved wooden postcard, please - there are two dogs and an owl and each has orange glass eyes. Although it's difficult to age, we are led to believe it's possibly from the 1930s or 1940s. It's weird and wonderful and we really like it!

The owl measures 7.3cm high, the flat-eared dog 7.5cm, and the dog with pointed ears 9cm high (without cork stoppers). The stand is 6.5cm high, 12.5cm wide and 3cm thick.
