eBay watch: A pair of 1970s Guzzini Sirio space age table lamps

Posted on | Leave a comment

Sirio

Not just one lamp, this auction is for a pair of Guzzini Sirio space age table lamps.

Designed back to the 1970s (as you might have guessed) and the work of design duo Lampa and Brazoli for Guzzini, each lamp is comprised of two half-spheres, spaced slightly apart and held together by chrome 'bolts'. They even fix to the wall, with the auction including original clamps for that, said to be 'rare'.

Condition is 'good', with no cracks in the lucite and just minor traces of use. Right now, the price for the two is just 62 pence.

eBay watch: Nissan Pao retro-styled car

Posted on | Leave a comment

Pao1

Despite talking about it as far back as 2006, we haven't really featured the Nissan Pao much on the site. Until now that is, as one has just come up on eBay.

The Pao is generally referred to as a 'retro wagon', a fairly roomy vehicle that was launched in Japan around the same time as the equally retro Nissan Figaro. However, unlike the Figaro, not many of these have been imported to the UK, so they are far less common.

eBay watch: Vintage ‘pop-art’ hanging lamp

Posted on | Leave a comment

Yellow

Love the design and right now, this vintage 'pop-art' hanging lamp is available for next to nothing too.

Details are scarce, with the seller claiming it is from the 70s or 80s. If I was a betting man, I'd go for 80s, just because of that bold yellow colour, which is reminiscent of the era. It's made of plastic and has a diameter of a 34cm, with no cracks or indeed, wear and tear.

Just a penny right now on eBay.

Orange

A real 'statement' piece for your living room – this mushroom-style table lamp in orange.

Out of the 1970s, but still cutting a fine figure in the modern era, the lamp has a base and top of chrome-plated metal, with that bold orange shade in plastic. Tall too – standing at 20 inches (50cm), with 'very, very good above-average' stated for the condition.

Want it? Right now, bidding is at £1.

eBay watch: 1966 Triumph Herald 1200 Convertible

Posted on | Leave a comment

Herald

It's always a risk buying a classic car, especially if you're not too great under the bonnet. But this Triumph Herald 1200 Convertible looks a cool and practical buy if you are a novice.

Dating back to 1966 and still cutting a hip profile, this Herald has just over 80,000 on the clock of that 1,147c engine. It's also described as being in 'excellent condition', as well as 'trouble free' and in 'great working order'. That's perhaps down to the amount of money spent on it – overt £2,000 in the last year alone. See the website for a breakdown of just what has been replaced and upgraded.

Another shot over the page, with many more on the listing. The price right now is £2,200 with no reserve.

eBay watch: Midcentury Danish rocking chair

Posted on | Leave a comment

Danish

I love this design – and the midcentury Danish rocking chair isn't too expensive as I write.

It's a refurbished design, with what looks like a good job on it too. The cushions have new foam adhering to current fire regulations, with new upholstery in a textured green fabric plus a restored solid teak frame. It's even got brand new webbing.

The design is still intact though, with those lovely curves and sloping back. £79.99 is the current bid price.
