Vintage at the Brocante Sunday 16th January 2011

Vintage Furniture at the Brocante Market this Sunday the 16th of January Newmarket Square Dublin 8 just off Cork Street, a very nice day to chill out and have a lovely experience browsing through all the goodies on offer and having a very nice coffee and one of the best ciabattas in the business from Luca, Aisling and Co.

The Brocante Market is becoming the main and "in" place for followers and enthusiasts of original vintage furniture, lighting, ceramics and art.
Many vintage dealers sell at the Brocante and use it as their main window for the public to come and view their wares.  The atmosphere is always top notch and the venue is excellent with the added advantage of parking for those who drive.  The cafe has to be experienced, fantastic authentic Italian food and wonderful fresh Italian cuisine and coffee at affordable prices which is what we all like to hear.

Vintage furniture sellers; Original Compulsive Design ( thats me) Richard Harte (coolretro), Killian from Mid Century Online, Geoff Kirk, Kirk Modern,  Andy Vayne hitmeinthevayneline, Paul Bryne Retrorumage, Selina Gittens Eclectic Designs, Robbie and his missus from TLC and many more. 

There is a great eclectic mix of furniture styles at the Brocante Market and you will always be stimulated with designs ranging from vintage to edwardian, bricabrac to contemporary screen printing.  For this Brocante on Sunday, January 16th 2011, I will have a lovely G-Plan 1950s table and chairs set, a 1960s Danish Lounge chair, a pair of Guzzini ceiling lights, a white Anglepoise lamp, a 1960s Avalon chest of Drawers from the 1960s and a range of other goodies.


The last time I did the Brocante Market at New Market Square on Sunday I sold a very nice vintage John and Sylvia Reid table and chairs set from the 1970s, a faux leather swivel chair, a 1960s very cool leather stool, a cute tripod lamp and a few other bits and bobs.  




What a wonderfull Eric Kirkengaard chair, I sold a beautiful set of four, during the summer, a truly amazing comfortable chair from a classic Danish designer.

Original Compulsive Design flavour










Hi, been busy sucking on a wurthers original, busy with the shop and seeking out retro furniture and trying to update the website. We have sold some very nice pieces recently and are always adding to our collection. The website is harder to manage re updating with new stock as things sell before you can get the time to take a pic and do the text and then you have to edit the exsting page, all time consumming etc. Any way I have added some pics of things we havew sold that were not on the site, please keep an eye as things are always comming and going.

Lots of love to my vintage design tribe
