Milo Baughman Brass X Bench for Thayer Coggin.

I happened across this beauty and before I even flipped it over I knew who it was.  Sure enough, Milo Baughman for Thayer Coggin.

Solid brass X style base with an upholstered plush top.  This just screams Hollywood Regency doesn't it? If the buyer doesn't fancy the original upholstery, this would be very easy to change.

I've only found a few others online, and the price is steep. I'll need to have mine appraised and then it's going into my shop! Let me know if you're interested!

Mint condition @ 1st Dibs $4800

Sold at Orion's Objects $2400 (copper base)

Sold at City Issue price unknown

Here Piggy Piggy

I love Pigs! Not bacon, pigs. Yes, it's true....I think they're cute, smart, and lovable. If I did not live in Los Angeles I'd keep one! Hmmm, how to live in the city and still keep a farm? I'm working that out in my head.
I remember my grandma's farm in Missouri when I was little. Ahhhh.....

Check out this adorable vintage (and Mid Century-esque if I do say) pig candle from Hallmark. I'm guessing it's from the 80's. It was tough for me to list but I need to stop keeping everything I find for my store!

Frederick Buehner Wanner in the Mid Century

I came across this beautiful brass pot in a pile of junk last week during one of my vintage hunting trips. I instantly knew it was mid century and something special. I was anxious to get it home, clean it up and learn more about it's history.

Sure enough, this beauty was designed by a German designer named Frederick Buehner Wanner who emigrated to the US in 1929. His accessories and housewares made of hammered aluminum were popular from the 30's to the 50's. In 1969 his company, Buehner-Wanner Company, was sold to Phaltzgraff. This brass and teak style emerged in the 60's.

This piece I found was one of his last works from the mid century era. It's in great vintage condition and oh so beautiful! Features a long teak pot handle and teak lid knob. The pan top is emblazoned with a classic mid century design in enamel.

I have come across very few of these pieces online and I've read that they are a rare find. Find it here in my shop!
