How about some truly Art Deco furniture?

One of our local estate sale operators has this GORGEOUS Art Deco sofa and side chair for sale on consignment.  You have to see it to believe what great shape it's in.

Just Beautiful.

Love Deco.

Stunning

I wonder how old it really is? I wouldn't know a modern reproduction from an original. It's attractive either way and probably well worth the money, if you've priced new furniture recently.

I stopped by the furniture store we usually deal with this afternoon to get a replacement handle for my recliner, and I saw some of the prices.  OMG!  So $1200 isn't too bad especially if you like Art Deco, reproduction or not.

I agree. Quality furniture will set you back, but why get stuck for years with cheap trashy stuff? That's what I did...ahem.

The posting's been deleted, so it must have sold.

To me that couch/chair looked like a reproduction for some reason.

The thing that made me wonder was the red/black upholstery. My grandmother's living room wasn't changed after the 1940s, and everything in it was brown mohair. Rad and black would have seemed kind of jarring back then, methinks.

I could see the same design in white (like a Hollywood movie), perhaps.
