Franco Albini ottoman in David Netto's home photo by Francois Halard for VogueDuring the aforementioned antique shop trolling in Louisiana last weekend, I scored an awesome, awesome find...
I think.
I've wanted a Franco Albini rattan ottoman forever but either A. couldn't find one or B. found one and couldn't afford it.
Well I found one (above), and it was, wait for it, a whopping $45.00. So I of course snatched it up!But I'm thinking it has to be too good to be true, right? Surely a knock-off?? Here's the problem, I've done loads of Internet research and can't find anything about how to judge it's authenticity.
Either way, I love it, but I'd still love your insight... Anyone a Franco Albini expert?
knock-off or not, it is a splendid find! And I know you will definitely enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThat's gorgeous! Who cares if it's a knock off...
ReplyDeleteWow, what an incredible find! You can't even tell that it's a knock off!

very very cool. it is gorgeous. lucky you.
ReplyDeleteLovely find, I say get it!
ReplyDeleteIt's indistinguisable from the one in the magazine so I'd say you found a real deal. :)
ReplyDeleteCan you really sit on it though?
I can't believe it cost $45. I am jealous. Even if it is a knock off, I say don't worry about it, just enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteWow what a great find + amazing deal! Knock-off or not ... its beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you!
what a fabulous find! Hope you are having a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteNot an expert, sorry!, but I do love it!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I have an Albini in my living room and yours looks EXACTLY the same. I don't know how you verify its authenticity either, but it sure seems legit to me!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a great score! It's such a fantastic piece.
