Anyone into classic furniture

[Lucidone]

A couple of William Lawrence cabinets (only naming as there were made in my home town) and the classic, can't believe I'm the first to post a pic of one, G-Plan 'Astro' (can't remember what it's real name is).

Almost simultaneous 'Astro's'

Yes! Does that make mine a 'Long Astro?' (goes to Google actual name....)

I have an Astro too but it's looking a bit tired. It doesn't respond well to Danish oil as it seems to be sealed with some kind of varnish - is this normal? ...the G-Plan chairs and sideboard are a raw teak finish and polish up nicely...

 

[Lucidone]

All the Astro's I've seen have been varnished. Refinished a couple with oil based varnish too and it seems a very good match.

It's been neglected in the spare room. The shame!

I have been collecting bits on and off for 25 years, I don't have room for it all now so have mostly stopped picking bits up (aside from lamps and light fittings, there is always room for those). I don't currently have pictures but have a few Eames DKR, DKX and LKX chairs, a couple of Ernest Race bits, an Arne Jacobsen stool, A Jo Colombo trolley, Aalto stool, some Ercol. The lamps comprise mostly MacLamps, Lyfa and my favourite a Preben Dal (below), I have also been leaning into more of the Po-Mo stuff (just hot an Arteluce Club light) but its hard to get away with the stuff I really like cos its considered ugly! I also have 60s/70s cutlery, glassware, serving platters, textiles, ornaments and pictures, its a 60s house but I am often reigned in so it 'doesn't look like a museum'

Also, I'm sure he's noticed but I'll tag @pete_mcc - his house is very much on the way to museum!
