Telephone Seat

Posted by: Diccus62 on 11 January 2007

For Sale

Telephone seat, mahogany with storage door and cream cushion, beautiful design and in showroom condition.......... £50

Just saw this ad in our local paper. Once these things were the height of fashion to have in the back passage (oh err missus). Come on admit it, does anyone on the Forum still own one and if so do you still sit on it to take calls.

Photo is sadly not the one in the ad.

Very nice Diccus.
Can you be tempted by some tasteful bedroom furniture in the style of a marble Mausoleum?

I'm looking at 'Large chest for sale, call Fifi' and 'seats re-caned, call Madam X.

Cocktail bar anyone?

I wanted to find that picture of the Thai woman in fluorescent paint on black velvet, but can't. Know the one?

Yes, I know the one but I can't find her either, google returns lots of pics of Elvis instead.

That cocktail bar is hideous and should be burnt. I think bars in houses nearly always look naff and snooker tables too.

Lady in Green(Cineese Lady) by Tretchikoff was of the same ilk/era. We had one of his pictures (print) of an abandoned Orchid on some steps. There was a drop of water on the Orchid and it always fascinated me how any one could paint it so realistically.

This is Lady In Green by Vladimir Tretchikoff

But it is not what Rasher & Diccus are talking about. I remember the picture they mention being in a friends living room in the mid to late 60's. Hmmm...black face, green background, possibly a tear on the face?

I know what the others were talking about,I was just making a point that this guy's work was exceptionally popular in the '60s onwards. He him self said he sold more work than anyone else except Picasso.
Tretchikoff often included a tear.
