Going Kartell

 

I have found four "Lizz Chairs" by Kartell, in gloss white modern for Leif's MCM dining and sunroom perhaps. They are made in Italy, obviously fit in anywhere and are stackable. These came out of an office setting and look never used!

A Grand Square Piano

Leif's MCM house came with a Wm. Knabe & Co. Grand Square Piano, made in the 1800's by one of the finest piano builders in American history. These pianos were exclusive to the Metropolitan Opera, commissioned by Francis Scott Key, while also owned by Tchaikovfsky, Einstein, Elvis, and the Smithsonian Institute. Their SOUND, Brazilian Rosewood cabinetry & cabriole legs, music rack and fretwork are all remarkable. This one is free for the professional moving of it.

Clearing The Land

Leif's MCM house sits on 3 1/2 acres of beautiful trees bordered by a lovely, tall old rock wall and the Stony Brook. Most was hidden by overgrowth and a fallen horse barn (with contents) which needed to be removed. Christian brought his Turf Tiger and trailer here with our wood chipper on it. We are filling a dumpster, but recycling all metal and burning the wood. Whew!





Following Christian home.
