Fun furniture isn't a new invention. Ever since the first caveman carved an amusingly-shaped chair out of an old log and some mammoth tusks, people have looked to make kooky and intertesting looking furniture. So it should be no surprise that a canny buyer can pick up some real bargains when it comes to interesting restored furniture and accessories...
The Top 5 Pieces of Fun Vintage Restored Furniture (For Under 100)
Number One - The Gardeners Handbook, 1944
In the forties, people in Britain were being told to "Dig For Victory!" as the Second World War rumbled on for half a decade. So it's no surprise to learn that a few gardening accessories still remain. The "Good Housekeeping Gardening Calendar) was published in 1944 for 1/6d and remains as relevant today as it always has. The home vegetable gardener will find it indispensible!
While not necessarily a piece of furniture, The Gardeners Handbook would look amazing framed on a kitchen wall - especially as a counterpoint to some forties themed furniture.
