Mid-Century Modern and Design

Alderfer Auction's March 18 Mid-Century Modern sale brings together Scandinavian and American furniture, Italian Postmodern seating, and decorative arts. The sale is headlined by a strong grouping of Finn Juhl designs executed by cabinetmaker Niels Vodder, alongside Phillip Lloyd Powell studio furniture including sideboards, a display cabinet, and a screen, with many of these pieces coming from the collection of noted dealer Reese Palley. American and Danish Modern style is further represented by a Kent Coffey "Perspecta" bedroom suite, a Poul Cadovius "Royal System" modular wall unit, a Verner Panton "Cone" Chair, and a Scan Coll teak bedroom group. Italian Postmodern offerings include seating by Gamma Arredamenti and Giancarlo Piretti's "Plia" folding chairs, with additional American studio work by Bucks County artisans Carter Handcrafted Furniture. Decorative highlights include Richard Barr for Laurel mushroom lamps, Curtis Jere sculptures, an Atmos clock, and a selection of ceramics.
