For sale: Victorian dollhouse kit and Danish Modern rocking chair
We need to make room in our house; maybe someone here can get the use of one of these items.
I bought this kit at a yard sale, with the house partly finished. I've done a bit of work on it since I bought it, but I just don't have the time, patience, or attention span to complete it. As far as I can tell the kit is complete, including instructions, with a bonus bag of shingles. It's the Allison model by Artply (like this one), which was apparently their most popular model (Artply is no longer in business). Similar Greenleaf kits of this size are upwards of a hundred dollars new, and Allison kits seem to average about half that on eBay. I'll sell this for $20, and throw in a Greenleaf furniture kit (#9010) which unfortunately doesn't have any instructions; you can order instructions from Greenleaf for $6 US.
This is a very comfy Eames era chair, in excellent condition -- except for the webbing, which has given way in the centre of the seat (the seat cushion is unattached). It's a simple repair; we'd do it ourselves, but again, no time, and we don't have room for the chair anyway. If you're not the DIY type you could take it to an upholsterer, though I don't know how much that would cost. The upholstery on this chair is a khaki green chenille, no rips, tears or stains. The wood is rosewood, I believe; solid construction, lovely finish. Vintage rockers like this one (though I can't find one of these chairs online at the moment) tend to go for upwards of $400US on eBay, in similar condition; I'm asking $200 Canadian, or best offer.
Further pictures are available of both items. Pickup and cash only; I'm in East York. Comment here if interested, or e-mail me at this handle at gmail dot com.
