r/Mid_Century

not vintage, but gorgeous. i love this piece.

I have an Impreza hatch and they were convinced it was too small. Had to take the legs off for transit but I win. Absolutely in love with this piece - believe it’s the Mix n Match line. (bonus cat doing inspections)

Hello everyone:)

I bought an old house and these two were included. Turns out they can help me pay for some renovations.

yay!

I don't know much about vintage furniture and what a potential buyer would be looking for. Should I buy a matching color for the leather and cover the places that are worn down? What should I do to please a buyer and get paid?

I'm sorry if this is against the sub rules, please remove if so.

Is it worth restoring? Style No.: 204-01

Update: got it home, paid $100. It’s a bit worn on corners. Overall good shape and will be a fun project. Will post a few photos of markings in comments.

A secondhand seller got from someone downsizing, gave very little info so im suspect. Full walnut or veneer? Hard to tell much about it, wasnt give much details.

I have this exact couch, as seen in an Atomic Ranch home feature from 2023. I got it locally in 2020. The previous owners didn't know anything about it, but ever since I stumbled upon its twin on Atomic Ranch, I have been curious about its origins. Any time spent on search engines only gets me this one match.

Does anyone recognize this design, even if it's modern or even if it's a reproduction?

And "Jamaica" printed on the back.

Hey gang, long time listener first time caller. I recently purchased a large lot of furniture(I only wanted a few pieces but seller wanted everything gone at once) and I’m trying to recoup some of my money by selling the pieces I don’t want. Which leads me to this wardrobe/armoire.

I can’t find any info on it from Google lens and there are no marks or identifying features inside the doors/drawers.

For context I got this from an 81 year old woman and this was her parents so if I had to guess it’s from the 50s maybe? It feels solid and extremely heavy but it does have some Knicks and scratches here and there and one of the handles is missing the top but otherwise it’s in amazing shape especially considering the age.

I’m not trying to get rich here or flip this thing but I would like to recoup some of my money. What do you guys and gals think?

Hey all! I’ve had this a Plycraft chair about 15 years and while I still looks pretty good I’d like to find a product I can massage into the leather (i *think* it’s leather) to blend in the scratches - especially on the ottoman. I was considering Clyde’s Black recoloring balm because I’ve used products like
Leather Honey (messiest stuff ever) with not the desired outcome. Suggestions???

Got a set of four for free from a curb alert!

I just picked up this Danish teak sideboard and absolutely love the look of it, but I’m trying to narrow down its history. I’m hoping the MCM experts here can help me determine if this is an authentic, period-correct mid-century piece or a later-decade reproduction/revival item.

The overall design has those classic Scandinavian modern lines, sliding doors, sculpted organic handles on the lower drawers, and beautiful teak veneer.

A few notes on the construction and materials:

The main body:

The top, sides, and interior shelves I think are constructed with veneered particle board.

The base: The legs and the lower structural frame are made of solid wood.

The lower drawers: Feature standard, clean dovetail joints.

The shallow interior pull-out trays: they are green felt lined (picture 2), and the front and the back have two different styles of joinery. The back of the drawers has distinctive, rounded joints that look like a variation of a Knapp or scallop joint (picture 3), and the front has traditional locking/housed joints (Picture 4).

There are no obvious manufacturer stamps, badges, or paper labels left on the back or underside.
Given the mix of solid wood framing and veneered particle board, along with that unique drawer joinery, does anyone recognize the potential maker or region of manufacture? Would love to know your thoughts on its era and authenticity! Thanks in advance.
