20th century design & art
A vintage 1960s Carimate carver chair by Vico Magistretti. Originally designed in 1959 for the Carimate Golf Club in Italy.
The chair has a very distinctive profile with cylindrical legs, nicely curved armrests and woven rush seat. It has the original dark blue finish.
In good condition, all sturdy and solid. The finish has some wear on the arms and edges of the frame as expected but overall very good. The rush seat is in very good condition.
57.5cm wide x 75cm high x 50cm deep x 45 seat height x 61cm arm height at front.
Vintage painting of a landscape reflected in water made up of loose impressionistic brushstrokes. Painted on board, unframed. Not dated but I imagine it’s around 1950s. Signed to bottom left.
In good condition, some ageing to the paint and one or two minor losses.
63.5cm x 45.75cm.

A vintage Charles & Ray Eames Executive Time Life chair originally designed in 1961.
Black/dark grey frame and swivel base with really nice green leather original upholstery.
A slightly curious one as there is no Herman Miller label and there is no tilt function on the base. Otherwise it looks right and has plenty of age so doesn’t feel like a reproduction, but I cannot 100% say this is a Herman Miller chair, hence the price.
Very comfortable. Good vintage condition, the leather has some scuffs here and there and some ageing to the armrests. There is some slight wiggle in the armrests. Wear to the paint on the shaft between the base and the bottom of the seat. There are two buttons missing from the seat.
87.5cm high x 66.5cm wide x 72cm deep x 51cm seat height.
A modernist side table made from Bakelite, English 1930s. Maker unfortunately unknown.
Round lipped top with nicely shaped interlocking legs. The top has a rich mottled colour.
In very good condition, no damage. The legs have some fading and slight variation in colour.
60cm diameter x 46cm high.
1960s/70s side table designed by Richard Young for Merrow Associates.
Chromed frame with rosewood veneered top. In good original condition, the rosewood has faded a bit but is pretty uniform colour. Some light scratches and slightly raised grain. There are some slight slithers of veneer missing on the bottom edge of the sides but really not very noticeable. Chrome is in excellent condition.
57.5cm long x 45cm deep x 30cm high.
UK delivery is £25.
Lamp designed in 1966/67 by John Brown for Plus Lighting, UK. Can be used as either a table/desk lamp or also wall hung by the metal base.
There isn’t much information out there about John Brown unfortunately although he did design a number of lights for Plus Lighting and also Poole Lighting. These lamps have become little classics of British midcentury design.
Black painted metal tube with bent metal base. Has been professionally repainted and is in very good condition with one very minor ding. Base has some ageing but nothing distracting. Rewired.
UK delivery is £15.
TC100 soup bowls and saucers designed in 1959 by Nick Roericht and made by Thomas Rosenthal, Germany. Roericht designed the TC100 range for his thesis at the Ulm School of Design in 1959.
Price is per bowl and saucer with free delivery. 10 sets available.
These bowls are quite small, probably more suited to desserts than soup. The bowls are 10cm diameter x 5cm high, saucers are 15cm diameter.
A true display of form following function, Roericht was interested in robustness, stackability and practicality. The design was quickly snapped up by MOMA, New York for their permanent collection.
In excellent condition with no damage.

Simple and striking form, pine frame with slatted back and routed detail to the side panels. Recently upholstered cushions with cream boucle fabric and new foam.
In very good condition, some minor wear to the wood.
70cm wide x 70cm deep x 73cm high x 36cm seat height.
