I'm sure this vintage set of Mattel furniture is pretty well known - there's a set up on ebay right now here. I suspect that nice modern furnishings might be even harder to come by in playscale and that the Barbie and Blythe fans feel the 1:12'ers can't have it all, but there are some gorgeous pieces in here.
I love this sideboard. I'm on a bit of a sideboard/credenza (in real and miniature life) kick, as I alluded to in my previous post.
The prize is most definitely the sofa and chair set though. I love the clean Danish Modern lines. Now if only Pinky grew a few inches . . .
update: The final sell price was $261.80!
VERY cool looking! Steep price, though. I wonder what it will go for...
ReplyDeleteI'm curious too . . .
ReplyDeleteI found this blog with some additional information on the Mattel set:

Interesting background, and this blog refers to the bidding bloodsport for such items. btw, the furniture is up to over $100 (shipping is $23, too).
ReplyDeleteYikes! That's definitely too rich for my blood - at least for a set I wouldn't be able to use really . . .
