VINTAGE SIDEBOARDS - SECOND CHARM MIDCENTURY MODERN COLLECTIONS

Dear All

Here is the third attachment of our midcentury modern furniture collections. We feature here vintage sideboards of the early 50's - 70's. Interestingly, you see some blending of the art deco 50's with the retro style of the 60's in some of the pieces, indicating a transition period that cannot be easily demarcated, which make them all the more valuable in terms of historical interest.

For those looking for a sideboard or a television console, try not to go for those laminated built-in made of plywood or chipboard (they are not cheap either). Sideboard is an integral part to a living and dining hall. A beautiful vintage sideboard can be a statement piece. Combining vintage beauty with practicality is really the essence of wise furnishing. When you see the sideboards below, you understand why.

Pure elegance. Long, slender sideboard of the 60's-70's, solid teak wood.

The beauty of midcentury piece must be viewed from the sides too, as

you get to see the the slim slender pencil legs in a better perspective.

Another midcentury modern sideboard. Solid teak. Taken up by Naz, despite the fact

he couldnt see it full view as it was partially hidden. It must be his retro instinct,

VINTAGE FURNITURE - ARE YOU INTO MID CENTURY MODERN PIECES?

Dear All

The craze for mid century modern furniture is insatiable, constrained only by space. Some are even giving up their current characterless furniture and making way for the ever elegant midcentury modern pieces of the 60's and 70's. Nothing less than midcentury pieces for these people. They recognize instantly when they see one and usually does not hesitate to buy especially if the piece fits into their overall decor scheme. Some just snap up rare midcentury pieces and think later where to fit them, afraid of missing out, knowing they may not turn up so soon. A collection of furniture of this period, from dining chairs and tables, armchairs and sofa, coffee tables, display cabinets, writing desks, sideboards, chest of drawers, bedside cabinets to beds, creates an exciting retro presence and a trendy mixture of both bourgeois cum bohemian lifestyle.

Because of this insatiable demand, SECOND CHARM, stocks up a wide collection of midcentury modern pieces over the weekend. This posting concentrates on sofas and armchairs only.
