President and 1st Dibs.com Founder Michael Bruno has a notice up on his website that states:
"Over the past week we have been in contact with most of our New Orleans dealers and we are happy to report that they are safe and their stores and inventory are dry.
They are anxious to get back to business and we want to help. Until the end of the year, we are reducing the buyer's premium on all New Orleans inventory from 20% to 5% for online purchases."
Today we are showing what the New Orleans shops have to offer. Like this 19th century, Louis XVI style painted grey dining table.($18,500) We also like these French 1950's white aluminum chairs(there are 3 for $2,900).
New Orleans style might not be typically LA style, but pretty is pretty and it's nice to step outside of the design box.
check the 1st Dibs website for all of the other beauties available this week.
I think the aluminum chairs are awesome. And would go well in a Los Angeles space. They say elegance and wit. They hint of Hollywood as in "Roman Holiday," "Sabrina," or "All About Eve."
Somebody better scoop up those aluminum chairs before you see them at eight times the price at Woodson & Rummerfield's House of Design...
