ARTKRAFT STRAUSS Historically-significant vertical marquee from the renowned Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York. Manufactured by the famous neon sign company, Artkraft Strauss, the marquee stood as a beacon for both emerging and established artists entering the theater's hallowed halls. Research suggests that this marquee graced the facade of the Apollo for an indeterminate period of time from the grand re-opening of the theater in 1985. Though somewhat worn from years of weathering, this highly-recognizable marquee remains an iconic symbol of the rich musical and cultural heritage synonymous with Harlem, and is a testament to our country's legacy in American music. 30' x 4' |

HANS WEGNER Three-piece child's set, "Peter's Table and Chairs," the table with keyed-through tenons, the chairs with oval cut-out to sides.

The FDB stamp mark on each piece is indicative of an early manufacturing co-op that Wegner and some of his colleagues were associated with before becoming commercially successful. The mark assures these pieces are from the earliest period of the movement, and of the highest quality. This set was purchased in Copenhagen, c. 1959.) Black FDB stamp mark.
