Love that Easter Island piece Buzzy. I scored a few things today. First are these two carvings. The Rarotongan was a surprise find and there was a maori carving next to it but i left that behind as i didn't like it very much and i also didn't think it was worth what they were asking. The maori wall hanging on the right, although i think is quite ugly, was something different that i've never seen before and was a good size for the price. Now my real score was a pair of these chairs. Daisy approved them right away. They're no nine band Paul Frankl's but i think they are awesome and are surprisingly comfortable, And i got them for an absolute steal, $50AUS for the pair which works out at around $36US. I'll make some new cushion covers for them and need to glue down the wrapping that has come apart that hides the join around the base (you can't see it in this pic) but other than that they are in great condition. I'd like to know how old they are. I'm thinking 70's. |
