Oh, don’t you love it!  I have been light headed ever since a friend said a friend was giving this away to a good home – was I interested?  Yes indeed.  I had just the good home for it.  I am not really an officiando on furniture makers of this era, so if anyone can help me out with information on Van Treight, that would be great.  I could only find 80’s style furniture from them on Ebay.  Mr Viking was super impressed with the bar ( he likes a congac from time to time).  Everything fitted in really nicely.  Thank you friends, she will be happy here.

PS – the little blue ceramic vase was inherited from Mr Viking’s great aunt Else, it is my favourite, favourite thing.  It has OJ 53 stamped into the bottom and I will research this one day!  The candelabra is Swedish (design House Stockholm), a wedding present from a dear friend.  The glass bowl is Kosta Boda and the Alvar Aalto vase was also a family wedding present.  It is practically the only vase you need.
