Dear All
I worked on May Day, like most proletariats who do not have the luxury of offdays, even on the day that celebrates their contributions to the economy and capitalism. Made a day trip to Kuala Lumpur, leaving early in the morning and coming back just before midnite. Had to be in Singapore on Sunday, to lend moral support to my daughter, who is studying hard for her midyear examination. It would have been a lonely journey home with only 2 passengers on board the super coach, had it not been for the myriads of twinkling stars that accompany us all along the highway. I've forgotten how beautiful a star-studded sky especially over a darkened landscape of undulating hills and forests, can be. On nights like these, one tends to be philosophical about life.
Anyway, I had to be in Kuala Lumpur, to pick up Marc's wooden fixtures for his art deco wardrobe and Frederic's vintage cushion seats for his art deco armchairs that got stranded there. More so, my restorer, Haji Yusoff, brought in quite a number of restored pieces from the stocks that I delivered to him 3 weeks ago. He is hurrying the restoration works to clear space for his Al Azhar graduate son's wedding next month. The restoration cost is really burning our pockets.
Below are the restored pieces that arrived on May Day and a week before in Kuala Lumpur. Some have been sold or reserved. For my Singapore customers who are interested in the available pieces, just let me know. Late May, I'll be bringing down some furniture already booked to Singapore.
A classic 2-tone art deco 1950's wardrobe in solid Burmest teak. We have a matching set of dresser and bed. See below.
An art deco 1950's teak dresser that matches the above bed and cupboard. We have several art deco dressers, variations from the above. For those interested in the range that we have, do write in and I will send the pictures.
A vintage 192o's - 30's oval extendable teak dining table. The centre is joined together by solid brass hinges. This kind of dining table is rare nowadays.
A late 19th century - 1920's marquetry dresser with the claw-like legs. Unfortunately, the mirror is missing. Makes a good TV stand, however.
Another late 19th century - early 1920's vintage piece. A marquetry glass cupboard. Comes in a 3-piece set of body, crown and base with Queen Anne' leg that fitted together beautifully. A antique cupboard that worth having.
Another antique marquetry cupboard of the 1920's. Also a 3-piece set. Fine craftsmanship characterizes some of these early pieces.
A beautiful retro 1960's sideboard. 6 ft length, with metal, swivel caps at the slim pencil legs. SOLD over the weekend to Syntea. Syntea has got some lovely retro pieces from us.
A retro 1960's Queen sized bed with vintage orange formica. Fully restored. A beautiful, elegant piece. We have similar beds with pink, green and yellow vintage formica or simply all teak. SECOND CHARM carries quite a good range of retro beds of the 60's and 50's, all in solid teak woods that come with full restoration and will be as good as new pieces.
A solid teak 1960's -70's 3-door wardrobe. Sits on a base. A 3-door solid teak vintage wardrobe is difficult to get nowadays. Compared to build-in wardrobes, that are often made of plywoods, inspite of their beautiful furnishing, this solid teak vintage wardrobe is made to last.
A rare vintage 1950's side cabinet that combines a glass cupboard and a chest of drawers at the side. SOLD to Puan Arbaiyah.
A charming 1950's solid teak one and half door wardrobe.
A 1950's solid teak art deco dresser that came in on Saturday. Mirror available with the set.
A elegant retro armchair of the 70's fully restored and newly upholstered. Single piece. SOLD to Wai Cheng, who decides on the colour of the upholstery. SECOND CHARM carries quite a number of single odd chairs for those who like to mix and match.
A another elegant retro 1960's chairs, restored and newly upholstered. 4pcs altogether and sold to Lissa, who owns a high end F & B outlet in the city.
Vintage 1940's dining chairs, fully restored with original cane seats. Rare pieces.

Single piece teak armchair. Fully restored
A vintage side cabinet with pull down drawer door. Orignal shell-shaped brass handle. Reserved by Datin Khairiah

Warmest regards
