Choirgirl21 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Any feedback on local MCM stores? I've been following some non-local stores on FB and have found some good pieces at my local ReStore, but I'd like to make a day of visiting some shops that specialize in good quality MCM furniture. I've googled, but personal feedback is always ideal. I hope I have this in the right spot. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Try Daniel Donnelly in Alexandria - he *might* remember me, but it has been awhile. It sounds like you're familiar with mid-century modern, so you know this stuff isn't inexpensive, but the selection here is terrific, and he does repairs as well - I've only met Daniel two or three times, but it has always seemed to me that he really knows what he's doing, and just browsing the showroom is fascinating.

ALB Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I adore Peg Leg VIntage in College Park. Lots of MCM. You can friend them on facebook to get an idea of the inventory. If funds were unlimited, my house would be entirely furnished from here. http://peglegvintage.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see adding many visits into my rotation in addition to my Restore trips. I see a set of walnut side tables I'm already in love with. Thank you both!

MODWOP Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Just seeing your post and reminded of a fantastic place in Kensington, MD; sadly, one of the last vintage furniture showrooms there, vs. just tchotchkes. Pay Modern Mobler a visit there and you won't be disappointed: https://www.modernmobler.com/about-us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ol_ironstomach Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 All good reccs. Donnelly's pieces will be in the finest condition, and priced to match. Modern Mobler is a personal favorite; the Georgia Ave location is larger, but I think they tend to put their most interesting wares out in the Kensington showroom, so you really do need to visit both. Peg Leg has to do a lot with a little space, and I think their acquisition style is more eclectic, but they also have a bunch of MCM tchotchkes that the other two don't carry at all. FWIW, should you find yourself in Atlanta GA, pay a visit to RetroPassion21. The owner buys MCM in Europe and ships containers over a few times a year. And while you won't find too many of the famous Danish makers that everyone else carries, she favors German and English MCM makers you probably won't find elsewhere. And other anonymous items that fit the bill. We loaded up on a couple of teak floor lamps very cheaply; they needed a bit of rewiring and refinishing but look great now. Sadly, Mid Century Salvage in Charlotte NC is apparently no more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
