I have this six band ...three piece Paul Frankl design couch without cushions available for sale.Post World war II.All three pieces of rattan in this set have the original metal mfg. plates all intact and xlnt condition.It is rare to find vintage rattan furniture with mfg. labels intact because many of them were decals and they eventually chipped or wore off !I can assist if you need help with having custom cushions made .

More pics of work in progress .The top of bar was shot and rotten ..so I traced it out and replaced with Honduras mahogany .Unfortunately I forgot to shoot pics of the original top before I pitched it in the trash .Much nicer wood tone and grain with new mahogany . Next I am sanding in between coats and working on the back of bar.Each storage section has to be hand sanded before varnish work.This is all being done by hand ...no spray gun or power sander here ...which means alot more work involved !

Just an FYI ....out of all the vintage rattan furniture that was produced and mfg. over seas between the 1930's and 1960's ...the bedroom furniture pieces are the hardest to come across.This includes bed frames,headboards,night stands,dressers and vanities .Not sure the reason for this, based on my years of collecting ...this has been my experience. |

This a very rare 1940's double size rattan one piece bed from recent estate sale find .Ultra hard to find and in near pristine condition with mattress.Paul Frankl style stacked design on sides as well as headboard.Don't have measurements so please don't ask right now.This bed is made very well and the construction is solid.I have this bed methodically stored in one of my storage units and it takes up alot of space.Feel free to ask any questions .I had this appraised by the man himself Harvey Schwartz that wrote the book on vintage rattan and have this priced far below appraisal value.
photo depicts the back of the headboard that would be closet to the wall [ Edited by: 1961surf 2015-04-10 13:39 ] |

Be the envy of your friends..neighbors and peers with the ultimate retro tiki bar . 27 hours of work went into this restoration of this bar. Zspar yacht varnish applied and sealed in two coats all by hand ..not sprayed in a booth. Original construction of the back of bar and shelves constructed with marine quality plywood all original .The facia has a band of a starbursts cut outs made out of masonite wood..giving it that mid century flair to it. There were five variations of this bar made by this mfg..This is the rarest of those five designs. Featured on RETRO RENOVATION WEBSITE Includes a total of 5 rare sought after Paul Frankl twist design bars stools that swivel.I can reupholster bar stool top cushions with new HR memory foam in any color of vinyl you choose at an extra cost or leave as is in original salmon orange color .I am moving wherehouse locations.I need the room .Needs to go to a good home that can really enjoy this and get the use out of it. Questions welcome inquire within . [ Edited by: 1961surf 2019-09-09 16:40 ] |
