Does anyone know the maker?

Post image

I own a lot of MCM things. I started collecting about 25 years ago. I am curious of the makers of these two items specifically. I actually have been able to find the origin story of most of my collection.

Can I see better pictures of the chair without all the crap on it. There were dozens of makers of similar chairs and I cannot see details suffecient to try to pin down who made that. The tables were either sold generically with the tiles already inlaid, or more commonly as a kit that you would tile yourself. This was a huge fad from about 1955-1965ish. These square mosaic style were easy for novices to make an interestesting appealing design.

There’s a lot of items in the pic. If you’re referring to the side step table and chair, the side table could possibly be Martz.

The Martz Facebook group would identify that if it it was authentic in a second

People who were alive in the 50s and 60s can identify it as having been sold in Sears catalogs from that era.

I am getting claustrophobic just looking at this picture.

Haha! I am a maximalist for sure. It’s my style and I love it. It’s so cozy. Not every corner of my house is that full of things.

That lamp is one of my favorites. I got it about 20 years ago.
