I'm into my accessories so decided to buy this because a) the colour scheme matches my lounge and b) George Nelson is my fav designer at the moment and I LOVE the clock! (American, 1950-60s)



The damage? £200 odd I'll add new bits to this thread shortly, also got a nice Archille Castiglioni uplighter..



Which I like but is a stop gap until I buy this below, again George Nelson VERY rare and very nasty on the wallet (£750-1200!!) looks lovely though..



Feel free to post up your fav and new accessories purchases
