For Sale: Beautiful Danish Modern Small Bookshelf Unit - SOLD
I love this book shelf!Its small, compact size is perfect for storing (and even showing off) your books, CDs, DVDs and even magazines. And the angled shelves are great for letting you see your titles without having to bend down all the time. And that great MCM/Danish Modern look is wonderful.
I love this shelf so much, I actually have one in my home. I've had mine for about 10 years and it's still in use, and still in incredible shape. When I was able to get a second one, I figured that maybe someone out there could use one, too!

For Sale: Retro Tiki Conch Shell Brown Drip Glaze TV Lamp: SOLD
There was a time when TV lamps weren't just the decorative items they are today. When televisions first started appearing in homes, there were fears that the low light viewing would damage one's vision. But adding a bit of "ambient light" along with your TV would reduce the risk...hence, the birth of the TV lamp. (see a better history here).
Today, though, TV lamps are highly prized for both their small place in history, as well as the beautiful, decorative pieces they are.
This particular TV lamp for sale is done to resemble a conch shell, and glazed in a beautiful medium-brown glaze, with cream drip glaze accent.
The front of the lamp has a small pocket made to mimic the opening of an actual conch shell. Perhaps this was meant to hold candy or even a small plant.
The lamp is rather large, measuring about 13 inches long! It's in fantastic condition...not a ding or chip on it! I took a picture of the lamp lit up to show you not only that it still works, but to also show how shiny and reflective the glaze is on the piece! The cord and light socket are in pretty nice condition as well.
I have seen a lot of TV lamps and tried to find one like this or similar online but have never seen or found like this. Don't miss out on a chance to pick up this very nice and possibly rare hard to find lamp while you can. This would look great in any retro, tiki, nautical or beach themed decor.

Questions about this item?
Want to make an offer? E-mail us at parkersiesel@gmail.com.
No mid-century modern look is complete without the accent and design pieces to have the "total look". For some people, it could be some MCM pottery pieces, for others, it could be a prized small desk lamp.
But for others, it's glassware.
This is a complete 8-piece set of glass juice glasses done in a beautiful, Asian-inspired design, straight from the mid-60's.
