Moving On: A Set of MCM Light Fixtures
This weekend I’m hanging out at the Vancouver Convention Centre where idsWEST is taking place. And tomorrow night I’ll be attending Blend 2012 sponsored by IKEA. Did I mention this is a gathering of the Canadian Design & Lifestyle Bloggers West? Can’t wait to tell you all about it!
But… last week I promised to let you in on a little vintage stop I’d be making along the way. Here’s the story.
My Dad’s neighbours were doing a major kitchen reno, which meant replacing all their light fixtures.
Enter exhibit A .
This is their vintage 3-pendant chandelier they were replacing.
And its matching single-pole pendant…
The insert image is the pendant in place before the owners took it down.
They also had a matching ceiling mount fixture.
And…
A set of single pendants that had never been out of the box!
Seriously. The packing tissue was brittle with age!
When I asked what was planned for these vintage beauties, the owners handed the matter over to me!
So without further ado…
If you’re looking for something that doesn’t come along every day, as in this FULL set of matching MCM light fixtures – in mint condition, never been out of the box kind of mint condition, you might want to stop in at Attic Treasures!
That’s where my mystery stop was. And that’s where you’ll find this incredible set of Mid-Century Modern lighting.
Isn’t it fun when a circle like this can be closed? The owners are happy, the light fixtures are off to find another good home, and I got to pop into a store that makes my heart skip a beat! Kinda leaves a smile on my face 🙂
Did I mention, it’s not every day something like this comes along?
Thanks for stopping by!

OH My GOSH!! Those would work perfect in my new house! I so wish you could get them back for me and ship them to me! I would so pay!!! Great store though… jealous I can’t shop there!
Oh, Tiffany! If only I had of known!!! I can’t believe there was a whole set…
Oh my these are beauties! I will spread the word!
So nice to meet you last night!

Hi Catherine!
It was such a pleasure to meet you, and chat! I look forward to more opportunities… my voice was so raspy yesterday after Saturday evening!!!
They are really cool! We like the same kind of good stuff!! I even love that paper hanging behind them. Really interesting print.
The paper has a funny story! It was actually the wrapping paper on my hub’s anniversary gift, and I loved it so much I had to keep it! Then when these lights came along, and I wanted to photograph them, I needed a backdrop with a bit of MCM flair! So now I guess I’ll have to frame some of the paper, it has so much of a story behind it! 😉
Amazing!! I thought for sure they were going to be yours! 🙂
If I had the right space, they would be so tempting! Oh well, hopefully they go to a home that is a perfect match…
Darn, I thought the same as Pam – thought for sure you might try to snag one for yourself. How cool!
Are any of these lamps available for sale? Thanks!
Hi Lori,
My apologies for the delay in replying – these fixtures were available for sale at Attic Treasures back in September 2012. I don’t know if they have been sold at this time… Here is the link to their website for further follow-up: http://www.attictreasuresvancouver.com/
Thank you for stopping by, and good luck with the inquiry!
Cheers,
Sheila
