Airest Lowline Lounge Suite

PERSONAL COLLECTION: Airest lowline Lounge Suite.

 

Collected this superb Parker 'style' lounge suite on Tuesday.  Heavily inspired by Parker Furniture, this is a stunning low-line set by Airest.  The set has two super low chairs, a four seat couch/daybed & a footstool.  

5 Piece Teak & Mahogany Dining Suite

SOLD: 5 Piece Teak & Mahogany Dining Suite

 

Devilishly good looking dining.... I finished the teak dining chairs over the weekend and joy of joy's found a table that compliments them beautifully. I had been keeping a keen eye out for something that did them justice, but just hadn't seen anything I thought would sit like it fit.  Then up pops a little cracker!  With slightly unusual side extension panels and quality detailing it has a personality of it's own, which I like.   Together... it's a party.

Low back fireside chairs

I'm not sure who designed these lovely little fireside chairs.  They do have a slight Don Furniture feel to them. Many of the companies of the era were inspired by each other so they could also be from a number of other manufacturers of the day.  I do think they are early, probably 60's.  The frames had to have the old coating removed but that was the least of their worries when I got them.

Just went to pick up these high back dining chairs. Bit of a drive but I'm glad I did.  They need work of course but this quartet will be singing by the time I'm finished.  with the solid teak frames in great condition apart from the coating and some new covers, these may just be keepers!

PERSONAL COLLECTION - Fler SC55 Rocket Armchairs

A pair of beauties. Picked up these lovely chairs the other day.  There is a bit of work to do but the steel frame, springs & wood itself looks great.  They need some joints reset, probably a full pull back of the coating and some new upholstery.  

Mix & Match Vintage Lounge Suite

SOLD: Mix & Match Vintage Lounge Suite 

I have combined the Airest Ply Backed daybed and a pair of vintage fireside chairs.  They sat so well together that I have listed them as a set.  Both pieces are finished to a vintage look. This means they are not finished to look 'brand new'.
