DANISH MODERN - mid-century mid-week strikes again!

Wednesday is my big day to hit all the thrifts. The pickings were rather slim that day, as it started with this lot:




These are Stelton /Arne Jabobsen candle holders. I scored a great Dansk Tiny Taper spider and a pair of brass Swedish ones last week, so stainless candle holders were kind of a let down.

Literally, the last place I hit was my favorite vintage shop. It's run by a little old lady who specializes in the sort of country stuff other LOLs enjoy. My previous decent finds were some sterling, and this awesome MC wood panther.

However, this was waiting for me:

YESSSSSSSS! 48" tripod DM goodness. The shades are perfect. These do a good $200-300 each, and usually with scorch-marks galore. While table lamps, they're also tall enough to be used as floor lamps. Sometimes the thrifting gods pat me on the head, and tell me what a good boy I am.

Here are the other candle-holders, if interested.
