Craigslist Finds: Chrome Table Lamp with Five Glass Orbs and Danish Modern Daybed!


We bought this amazing table lamp today and are CRAZY over it.  Especially the reasonable price of $120!  It looks great in our living room on top of our Kent Coffey Perspecta Credenza, we moved the arc lamp we previously had next to the couch to our Arizona room because we just got a Danish Modern Daybed for $280!  We plan to have it reupholstered but luckily it's just three cushions so should be pretty easy.  I love being able to furnish our home with authentic Mid Century Modern pieces for a reasonable price.  We have definitely had to wait for the right things to come along but are very proud of the collection we now have!

For Sale by MoPho: Geometric / Brualist Lane Credenza - SOLD


This cool vintage credenza will definitely be noticed! I love it's retro geometric look, it's very atomic and will look great in a mid century modern / danish modern home. It is from the 1960's or 1970's. It would work best in a living area, but could be used in a bedroom as well. At 2 feet tall, it is the perfect size and shape for a TV stand as it's fairly low to the ground - it would be great with a flat screen TV on the top! On the left there is a door that opens to cabinet with a small shelf - it would work nicely with a video gaming system like the Wii! There are two dovetailed drawers in the offset center of the piece, they would fit clothes well, but are also a great size for DVD's/Blu-Ray's, or CD's. On the right is a smaller cabinet that was originally designed for records with a smaller partition in the middle. The drawer handles are large copper colored metal circles.

The dimensions of the piece are 66" long, 18" deep, 24" tall.

The credenza is in good vintage condition. There are some superficial scratches to the top of piece which are consistent with age. There are a few small chips in the veneer along the edges which are noticeable on close inspection. There is one thicker gauge on the front left block that will be noticeable when standing about one foot away from the piece at the level of the scratch, below this scratch the veneer is brittle. Overall, the defects are not noticeable except on closer inspection.
