Amazing Maori figurines - perfect for a mid century tiki lover - SOLD

This incredible set of figurines was hand-carved in New Zealand by Hepa Gibbons at the Carve Craft Studio. They come complete with the original tag which explains more about the piece as follows, "Carving was used by the Maori people as a method of commemorating ancestors. The 'humanistic' style of carving is most often found at the bottom of ceremonial house support posts (poutokomanawa) or at the top of the roof (teko teko). The head is usually quite large in relation to the rest of the body, an indication of its importance in Maori belief."

I'm not sure what type of wood these guys were carved from, but the stain is quite dark, almost a walnut with auburn undertones. Both the large figurine and the tiny guy have mother of pearl eyes which gleam in the sun! They are super fun and would look good in a mid century modern tiki room, or in a collection of fine things. They might be the perfect gift for father's day...or buy them for yourself!!

For Sale by MoPho: John Stuart Inc Six piece bedroom set - SOLD

We have a gorgeous and extremely well made vintage bedroom set. This set includes all pieces below for the listed price, we are willing to sell pieces individually for prices listed next to the item, but would prefer to keep them together so we discounted the set price - we figure if furniture of this age makes it together for this long that it should remain as a set! It is all a medium wood stain with gold/brass pulls and spindle feet covers!

Most pieces in the set (aside from the headboard and mirror) bear the makers mark - John Stuart Inc New York, Grand Rapids. John Stuart Inc. was created by its namesake who also was president and chairman of the board for John Widdicomb furniture company prior to his death. His company was an american company that made danish furniture whose motto was "Exceptional furniture" - this set definitely meets that standard with dovetailed drawers that still slide smoothly, wood that shines with beauty to this date, the most solid legs I've seen on a piece of this era, and an amazing attention to detail. Everything is solid wood and functions just as it did when first purchased! Much of his mid century furniture is sold on 1st Dibs as it's so incredibly well made and solid.

For Sale by MoPho: Mid Century Lane End Table - SOLD

We found this great Lane end table at an estate sale today and this piece won't fit well in our living room so we are going to find it a new owner! It's a great Bi-level end table by Lane, solid wood and fairly heavy (~20 lbs). It's in great vintage condition with the most noticeable element of wear being a darker scratch on the main table that extends about 2 inches. It is absolutely gorgeous and will look great in any mid century modern home :)
