Update: We decided to keep the single arch mirror to replace the non-mid century one in the Brasilia office. We tried to sell it...we really did ;-)
These mirrors are hard to come by so if you've been looking for one to go with your Brasilia credenza/dresser, look no further! This is part of Broyhill's very popular mid century modern Brasilia line, and bears the very sexy curves that this line is known for. I must admit, like most people who love mid century modern design and vintage / retro furnishings, we love this mirror and the brasilia line and are hesitant to part with the mirror, but we could use the money right now! The mirror is solid wood and heavy, it is in great vintage condition - there is some minor wear on the top where the finish has worn off a bit (please see photos), but this won't be noticeable if you hang the top above eye level. The rest of the mirror is in like new condition. It measures 42" tall x 21.25" wide.
The back of the piece bears the numbers that are clearly visible on the photo below and a stamp that is not as visible in the photo but states, "Design copyrighted 1962, Broyhill Furniture Factories, Lenoir North Carolina." The mirror would look great in any home, but especially those with furniture from the 1950's, 1960's, or 1970's - and anyone who appreciates atomic furnishings with great curves!

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 :)
*Chrome laurel lamp and onyx owls not included!*
