Posted on | Leave a comment

Sideboard

If you're after a well made sideboard with plenty of functionality and more than a touch of style, can we direct you to this France and Son Danish sideboard on eBay.

According to the seller, this dates back to 1964, the work of Ole Gjerlov-Knudsen & Torben Lind for Danish form France and Son and is made of teak, including the finished back, should you want that exposed.
Plenty of storage from the two cupboards and central drawers, with plenty of surface space too – 174cm to be precise.

A few bids already in, but £66 still sounds a bargain to us.

eBay watch: 1980s Fiat 126

Fiat126

Ok, it's not a Fiat 500, either new or vintage, but this Fiat 126 is something of a missing link between the two – and much cheaper.

It actually dates back to 1989, but has just 40,000 miles on the clock and comes with an MOT until December 2010. It also has a rustproof course to stop any deterioration, while that 650cc runs 'as sweet as a nut'.

One thing to note is that the car is left-hand drive. If you can deal with that, it's yours for £1,995 or a best offer.

eBay watch: 1972 Fiat 500

Posted on | Leave a comment

Fiat500

It's back on the market in a modern form, but nothing compares to the charm of an original Fiat 500. This being a particularly fine example.

Dating back to 1972 and with just under 53,000 miles on the clock (which is nothing), the car has been on the receiving end of plenty of work, including new suspension swinging arms, new brakes, wheel bearings, king pins and bushes, plus new track rods, steering rods and a new sun roof. The interior, thankfully, is still in original condition.

Talking of condition, the seller says the body work in places needs a 'little attention but nothing to affect MOT', so bear that in mind. It's currently on eBay for £3,500.

Merid

Not one, but two pieces of stunning space age design from the 1970s up for grabs on eBay – a pair of Stefano Cevoli Meridiana lamps.

Perfect for adding that Space 1999 touch to your home, both lamps were made in Italy in the 70s, offering up that long, white 'wire-like' stem and matching base and shade in a 'cramy white', finished off with black detailing and a black cord with the on/off switch.

Both lamps stand around 22 inches tall and are said to be 'cosmetically flawless' as well as being in working order. Sold out of the US, but shipping worldwide, the current price is a very tempting $99.99 (around £68.68) for the pair, which makes them something of a bargain.

Kaiser

A interesting design for not a lot of cash – this Kaiser 6885 table lamp.

Dating back to the 1960s, but definitely inspired by the modernist era, the light has a lampshade made of sheet metal lacquered cream, a brass stem with ball joint for adjusting the angle and a base of cast iron with a metal cover that's lacquered in cream.

Not a design we've encountered before, the lamp is described as being in 'good condition' and in 'full working order', you can pick it up at the moment for 99 pence.
