5 things I'd bid on if we had room in our apartment
This auction ends REALLY SOON!
This auction (which ends in about an hour!) just came on my radar and I want a little bit of everything 🫨. Unfortunately, my fiancé and I live in a 1-bedroom Brooklyn apartment. I have also put myself into debt from bidding on random furniture in auctions, so much so that we have a storage unit with a second dining table and a reading chair with nowhere to go.
If I were in the market for more stuff—here’s everything I would bid on at this Dust Shuttle Auction... a few things to note:
This auction is based in Philadelphia, PA

1. GIGANTIC Ceramic Apple Sculpture by Bull & Stein Gallery
If there’s anything I’m buying from this auction is THIS. Please someone purchase this and send me photos.
2. Vintage Eero Saarinen Model 174W Tulip Dining Table for Knoll
This table’s in great vintage condition with wear consistent with age and use. The walnut top is in great shape with minor scuffs. Edges show some wear as shown. Base has markings consistent with age and use.
3. Egg Chair & Ottoman in the ***style*** of Arne Jacobsen
Please note that this is a REPLICA—not an original, the auctioneer notes that the piece is exceptionally well-made with stitching consistent with an authentic chair. Possibly a replica by Restoration Hardware (fancy replica!).
4. This Adorable Chrome Coiled Letter Holder
5. Yellow Dresser in the ***style*** of Broyhill
Another replica! The drawers on this one look kind of wonky—there is a crack to the facade of two drawer fronts, but they function just fine. Even though this is unsigned/a replica, I think it’s funky & if the bidding doesn’t go too high, well priced for a piece of space-age furniture.
Happy shopping :)
Great list! That dresser is so good -- it's too bad I have zero space too :( The drawer spacing remind me a bit of my Hill-Rom nightstands (which I was lucky to find for cheap on eBay).
