Small Shallow Vintage Wood Dish with Endgrain Finish, Hong Kong

Jon Nix — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 17:09:31 +0000

A subtle but very attractive small bowl or dish which was made in Hong Kong, featuring a low profile and rounded square design, and with a beautiful endgrain finish reminiscent of the collaboration between Denby and Digsmed in their "Stone & Teak" range. This is almost certainly teak too and has a very mid-century aura - more than simply functional, this 6-inch (15cm) square form makes a statement all of its own... under-statement, really.

in good condition, with just some minor superficial signs of age use, the bowl has its original label affixed underneath, and has an overall depth of 1 in. (2.5cm).

Vintage Mid-Century Modern Stylised Carved Wood Bird Figure

Jon Nix — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 11:32:37 +0000

A stunning highly stylised carved wood bird which is believed to date from the Mid-Century period. Most likely teak and probably a long-tailed tit, this is an expertly realised piece with great attention to the grain and to the form. It is typical of mid-century modern stylised decorative wood carving and is a superb and uncommon example of its type.

The bird measures approximately 30cm (12 in.) from tip of the tail to the beak. with a height of 9cm (3½ in.). It is In excellent condition with no chips to the form, just some very minor wear to the flat "base".

Teak and Mother of Pearl Wall Clock by George Sneed for Heal’s

Jon Nix — Mon, 09 Jan 2023 16:02:58 +0000

Made by George Sneed and sold through Heal's department store, this is a handsome and very minimalist wall clock crafted from teak wood with mother of pearl inlays. The simple design of the face coupled with the deep-sided nature of the clock and the use of endgrain patterning makes it very effective and appealing on the wall, and very much in-keeping with a mid-century aesthetic.

The clock face measures approximately 21.5cm (8½ in.) whilst the rear measures slightly wider at 22.5 cm (just under 9 in.), giving it a slightly tapering profile. The clock has a depth of 5cm (2 in.). A recess in the rear houses the French-made "Romatic" quarts movement which is powered by a single "C" size battery and has a an adjuster for the time and a setting to finesse the speed of the clock. An aluminium plate sits over the top of the movement. Also to the rear is a maker's stamp and metal hanging plate.

This particular example is in good condition aside from a few defects. There are some minor signs of age and wear and tear throughout, including a few "nibbles" to edges and some minor surface loss and very slight deformation to the minute hand. It is likely there was a cap of some kind on the barrel (above the minute hand) which is no longer present. Finally, there is a hairline split to the wood from approximately 9.30 on the clock horizontally. This isn't immediately noticeable and appears unlikely to worsen. At some point in the clock's history it has been glued and there is the potential to repeat this repair should the need arise. At is stands though, these defects don't detract from the undoubted good looks of this clock so it has been left alone and is sold "as is".

Vintage Denby Pottery and Teak Salt and Pepper Pots Set – Danish Design

Jon Nix — Sat, 24 Sep 2022 21:05:33 +0000

A pair of vintage and extremely uncommon Denby salt and pepper pots, combining Denby's stoneware expertise with the Danish design of Kurt Franzen of Digsmed to give these teak-bodied condiments a mid-century flavour. The fixed pottery tops - we think these were designed as part of the "Romany" range or at least would be a good match for it - have a grey-brown speckled gradient and are perforated with an "S" and a "P" in the top. The rounded teak bodies have a plastic stopper in the base for re-filling.

Measuring approximately 10cm (4 in.) in height, and with a maximum diameter of approximately 6.5cm (2½ in.), they are in very good used condition - the salt pot has a firing defect which has been glazed. They individually weigh approximately 220g.

Denby Stone and Teak endgrain patterned trivet or small serving board, handcrafted in Denmark

Jon Nix — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 10:00:45 +0000

A very attractive-looking butchers block-style trivet or serving board produced by Denby as part of their "Stone and Teak" range. Handcrafted in Denmark in collaboration with Digsmed, the range of products were intended to be complementary and showcase each partner's skills. In this case, there's no stone, just beautifully crafted endgrain teak in a Danish modern style, just some subtle curves to the shape in order for the wood to speak for itself.

In very good, clean, condition with some minor signs of use as one might expect from an item of this type - surface blade marks, etc. - but no chips or dents, and with plenty of life left in it. Original makers stamp to the underside. It measures approximately 25 cm by 15 cm by 2.5 cm (10 in. x 6 in. x 1 in.)

Mid-Century Large Wood Handled Stainless Steel Servers / Set of Tongs

Jon Nix — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 11:35:33 +0000

A very attractive set of Mid-Century Modern servers in stainless steel with wood - possibly teak - handles. What's nice about this set is that the servers can be used independently one in each hand or, when joined together (via a mechanism at the top of the handles), as a set of tongs which can be used in one hand. So a stylish design, yes, but also very usable especially with this clever bit of convertability.

Each server is approximately 32cm (12½ in.) in length. In very good, barely used if at all, condition and in their original box, which does have a few signs of age and wear.

Mid-Century Teak and Glass Small Storage or Spice Jars by DIGSMED, Denmark

Jon Nix — Sat, 13 Aug 2022 22:39:57 +0000

A fine looking pair of DIGSMED small glass storage or spice jars with teak tops dating from the 1960s and made in Denmark. They don't seem to be oddments from a spice rack set and appear to have been sold separately. Evidence of this is provided by the fact that they still have original labels attached - the maker's label and some other label which would seem to either be an item identifier or a shop label.

Both jars have metal screw top lids which are capped with a very mid-century modern style teak. The larger of the two - measuring about 10cm (4 in.) high with a diameter of 7cm (2¾ in.) has "1/8 Kg" embossed to the base which is also where its maker's sticker is. The snaller of the two - measuring about 10cm (4 in.) high with a diameter of 5.5cm (2 1/8 in.) - has no such embossing and its marker's sticker is on the side. The smaller jar has a slightly lighter tone to the wooden "cap". Both jars are in very good condition - no chips or cracks to the glass and the wood is similarly good. Both have some tarnishing to the metal interiors.

Mid-Century Teak Magazine Rack by Fyne Ladye Furniture

Jon Nix — Tue, 25 May 2021 10:16:33 +0000

Sometimes - and perhaps erroneously - attributed to Guy Rogers and sold by Heals Department store, this small teak magazine rack was more likely produced by Fyne Ladye Furniture of Banbury. It's a great little example of mid-century style and eminently usable. The teak structure comprises of two sub-divided compartments and the proportions and styling are very much in-keeping with Danish/modern influences.

The rack is in good used condition with some very small signs of wear and tear but generally very presentable indeed. It measures approximately 51cm (length) by 20cm (depth) by 35cm (height) (20 in. by 8 in. by 14 in.)

Vintage Danish Kay Bojesen Hanging Fur and Teak Wood Figure

Jon Nix — Mon, 12 Oct 2020 09:57:51 +0000

Almost certainly made by Kay Bojesen, this vintage Danish figure with wooden teak body and long articulated arms and fur hair is often referred to as a caveman. Caveman, gorilla, ape... who knows, but what is certain is that this smiling figure - who can either hang from his hands or can stand in position - has quirkiness in abundance. with painted noise, eyes and mouth and oversized hands and feet.

The figure measures 18cm (7 in.) approximately in length from head to toe and 28cm (11 in.) in span from hand to hand with arms outstretched. It will hang from a nail or hook, or from a shelf, or can free stand with a little persuasion. He's in good condition considering his age, just suffering from some slight fuzzying of his fur around the eyes, some gaps to the fur around his legs, and some wear to the painted surfaces.
