spotted: chippendale chairs

Spotted: Chinese Chippendale chairs sitting outside my favourite antique shop.

Four chairs at $60 apiece (prices always negotiable), so I probably could have had the set for $200. I was THIS CLOSE to snapping them up to bring them home for a fresh coat of paint and new seat cushions à la Jonathan Addler–

Jonathan Addler

The Jonathan Addler chairs retail for $550 each. Versus $60 each for my vintage find.  I’m kinda regretting leaving them there on the sidewalk….

    I feel your pain! It’s SO hard to pass up a great find.

      Polly – this may sound silly but I’m not even sure the shop has a name. It is located on Ottawa St. in Hamilton, one door south of the Millionaire’s Daughter (consignment furniture shop that is also worth a visit!).
