If you check out our blog regularly, you might have noticed that, when possible, we like to post period pictures of pieces we have in the shop. I think it's interesting to see pieces in original photos, ads or editorial layouts and what life and interiors were like when these pieces were new. This picture was taken in the early 1950's at the Clemson House at Clemson University where my dad went to school. That's him in the striped tie with the very pretty Miss South Carolina in period polka dots. You might recognize the chairs from yesterday's posting.....early Eames...... probably pretty fresh off the showroom floor. The whole restaurant was furnished with them.
