Vintage retro atomic mid century 1950s Illinois Moulding shadow box - Eames era
This is the greatest thing I have ever found! I would love to keep it, but currently no place to hang it, so it would just sit in storage.
Needs some light restoration and cleaning, but overall a great piece. I have found a few examples of these online, but they all have the wire grate in the openings where this one has the darker mirror/glass with the black/gold inserts and graphics. I cannot find another example of this one anywhere!
The \'flower box\' things on the bottom have some missing mirror, apparently it is a common problem with these, with the pieces coming unglued over time. There is one loose piece that came with this one. Altogether it is missing 3 small pieces. The right flower box is missing a side piece, and the left flower box is missing all 3 pieces, but the loose piece is a side piece for either one. Also the mirror/glass panel above the left flower box is cracked, can be seen in the pics.
I have not even cleaned this, for fear of \'over-cleaning\' it, or possibly damaging something. I will leave that to the buyer.
This is local pickup only, I live about an hour northeast of Detroit. Although I would prefer not to, I could possibly deliver/meet within 100 miles (at my convenience, I have a sometimes difficult schedule) if you made it worth my time. This thing is huge, it is 66 inches across the top, it will not fit in my car, I would have to borrow someone else\'s car to do it.
If you live locally, you can inspect it in person. I am new to , but please offer with confidence. I look forward to building up a good reputation here and being here for many years to come. I have a lot of interesting stuff going up for sale in the future, so put me in your favorite sellers! Types of things coming up: old/vintage/antique stuff, gearhead stuff, guitars, rock and roll stuff, rock vinyl lp\'s, stereo components (some old), odd decorations, and more. Thanks for looking!
