1st Dibs.com: New Antiques Listings That Rock

finn juhl chieftain chair1.jpgIt's Friday, so it's time to see the new tasty treats online at 1st Dibs.

First, from NoHo Modern, let us introduce you to the sexiest chair we've seen in a while: The 1960's teak and Leather Chieftain chair by Finn Juhl for Baker ($6,500). Hubba-hubba.

Also, this cantilevered Walnut Credenza by Glenn of California, is stunning.

Click on to 1st Dibs. to see more stunners. AH

Maybe it's because I've been eating salad a lot more lately, but this chair looks delicious in kind of a leafy way.

Or a kind of grasshopperish way, depending on your appetite.

Not for $6,500, though! $650 tops.

Beautiful and waaaaay overpriced. One thing you should realize is that the shops that sell on 1stdibs.com mark up extravagantly to cover not only their very high store rents but also high 1stdibs listing fees. But hey, that's biz...especially here in New York.

Same chair sold last year at toomey gallery in Chicago, may 23, lot 917, for $7000. You can't find new for less than $4500 on line. An original recently sold for over $18,000. It's a great chair, I'd rather buy a new one in my color choice for $4500 though.

I know that 1stdbis.com does NOT charge high listing fees. In fact they don't charge listing fees. There is simply a monthly fee charged. The comment above by Roderick is incorrect. I'm not sure where this guy gets his info.

don`t know where alexei works but he`s correct - there is a very basic monthly charge by 1`st dibs to cover photography - and I don`t work for 1st dibs - they work for me
