A Circa Chairs for your Art !!!


"The word VALUE....has two different meanings, and sometimes expresses the utility of some particular object, and sometimes the power of purchasing other goods which the possession of that object conveys. The one may be called " value in use"; the other, "value in exchange." " Adam Smith(1723-1790)


THE GREAT ART EXCHANGE

I WANT YOUR FINE ART, TRADE ME FOR A CIRCA CHAIR!

I WOULD LIKE TO TRADE SOME OF MY CHAIRS FOR OTHER FINE ART OF EQUAL VALUE. THE REASON BEING MY WIFE ROBIN AND I ARE GOING TO OPEN UP A FINE ART & ANTIQUES SHOP AND WOULD LIKE TO OFFER PIECES OF ART TO COMPLIMENT MY CHAIRS. I AM ALSO INTERESTED IN GETTING MY CHAIRS IN GOOD HOMES AND WHAT BETTER HOMES THAN OTHER ARTIST'S HOMES. I HOPE TO OFFER FOR TRADE 1 OR 2 CHAIRS PER WEEK. VALUE OF TRADE SHOULD BE THE LOWEST VALUE YOU'RE WILLING TO PART WITH FOR YOUR ART AS I WILL BE DOING THE SAME.

I AM VERY INTERESTED IN THE POSSIBILITIES OF GETTING MY CHAIRS ALL OVER THE WORLD, SO IF WE CAN'T TRADE ART IN PERSON BECAUSE OF DISTANCE LET'S WORK ON DELIVERY COSTS AND WE WILL FIND A FEASABLE WAY TO MAKE AN EXCHANGE.

I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS ART FOR ART EXCHANGE. SO FELLOW ARTISTS, DO YOU WANT A CIRCA CHAIR??? WHAT WILL YOU GIVE ME FOR IT?? LET'S SPREAD SOME ART AROUND!!!

IF YOU'RE INTERESTED PLEASE E-MAIL SCOTT MULCAHEY AT http://circachairs@yahoo.com AND MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!


MY FIRST CHAIR UP FOR TRADE IS #37. THIS IS AN EARLY CIRCA CHAIR. I MADE IT IN 2007. MORE SCULPTURE THAN FUNCTION IT'S A BEAUTY! IT IS PLENTY STRONG ENOUGH FOR AN ADULT SIT BUT YOU MUST LEARN THE BALANCE POINT FOR IT TO HOLD YOU UP.



THE BACK IS MADE OUT OF AMERICAN HORNBEAM A WOOD VERY RARELY USED IN FURNITURE BECAUSE IT IS EXTREMELY HARD AND VERY DIFFICULT TO WORK. THE SEAT IS PART CHERRY AND PART MAPLE END GRAIN WITH A WEDGE OF AFRICAN WENGE. THE FRONT LEG IS LIVE ROCK MAPLE.



IT'S A SMALL CHAIR 32.5 INCHES TALL 16 INCHES WIDE AND 17 INCHES DEEP. THIS CHAIR HAS BEEN IN STORAGE FOR YEARS AND HAS NEVER BEEN PUBLICLY DISPLAYED. THE TRADE VALUE OF #37 NOT INCLUDING SHIPPING IS $300.00. IF YOU WANT TO TRADE AND CAN GIVE ME EQUAL VALUE E-MAIL ME WITH YOUR OFFER AND LET'S TRADE!



I MUST SAY I'VE BEEN LOOKING AND LOVING THIS CHAIR MORE AND MORE EACH DAY. I HOPE THERE IS SOME INTEREST OUT THERE FOR THIS BEAUTY!!

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT, MORE TRADES THIS COMING SUNDAY....STAY TUNED.

PEACE,
SCOTT

  1. Hi Scott - this is a beautiful chair and a great idea! I'm very excited about the new gallery. I don't have anything in my inventory with the right dollar value, but I have something else I'm willing to donate to the gallery to help make it a huge success - let's talk! Best to you, -G.
