VINTAGE FINDS - ART DECO AND RETRO FURNITURE OF THE 50'S AND 60'S

Dear All

I brought in some beautifully restored vintage furniture from my restorer, back in Singapore yesterday. Some of the pieces have seen booked and will be sent out the next few days. But they are still some beautiful pieces that I specially picked for my Singapore based customers, to give them better choices of fully restored pieces. Below are some of those pieces.

There are also quite a few retro pieces of the 60's and art deco pieces of the 50's unrestored as yet that we got over the last one and half week. There are some of you who love them in their original condition, and we are happy that the furniture are taken as is. There is a certain charm about an unrestored piece. It is as if someone aged with experience, or that it holds memories, that leaves the new owner to imagine or compare with his or her own.

Nevertheless, should they be restored and taken care of, they would last a lifetime of joy.
