Mid Century Furniture Designs I Haven't Seen Before.

It's always fun to come across a mid century modern furniture design I have not seen.  Just when you feel like you've seen it all, something different pops up. It's exciting to know there is still a lot I do not know.

Check out this dresser and chest on Ebay.  At $495 a piece, I think that's  a great deal.  Here in So. Cali you'd be looking at $1000 + per piece.  Well, OF COURSE these are in Missouri. I'm convinced this is where all the incredible mid mod pieces hide out.  

Ah, just check out that gorgeous detail......woweeee





The seller does not note a maker but says it's similar to Kent Coffey's Perspecta line.  Eh, kind of.  Anyone know about this design?

As a proud Missourian, I can confirm that MCM is dirt-cheap in the Show Me State.

Really nice lines and looks to be a fairly good quaility pieces. I'd be interested in the pedigree as well!

I hope someone can identify them. I'm not familiar with them either.

I'd say that's almost certainly a Kent Coffey. The handles, joints, drawers, woodwork, and overall design are nearly an exact match with the Perspecta line. It looks quite striking.

Been searching around a bit. They've got the credenza and a matching bar listed as Kent Coffey here:

Doesn't have the line named, but that's all I can find for now.

Oh wow, nice find! I guess it's Kent Coffey.

I'm probably going to be headed to San Fran / Oakland this coming spring...need me to look for anything? :)

Rhan Vintage said...

Fabulous! That will be a great trip. Is it for fun or business?

I'd love a nelson saucer or globe lamp. That would be easy enough to ship....

Those are gorgeous! MCM might be cheaper here in MO but the really nice stuff is few and far between (at least here in KC.) And of course the competition for any major pieces is pretty fierce.
