New Arrivals!

The store is quite possibly the fullest it has ever been. We have some pieces we've never had before (a Lane cedar chest), as well as some old favorites—beautiful lamps, glassware, and vintage globes. Many of the new pieces have a little something for the typographic enthusiasts out there—original labels and care instructions. You'll have to stop in to fully experience the stereo console—the sound is amazing!








For prices please call 215.627.7424 or email info@shagphiladelphia.com. Thank you!

We're excited to announce the winners of the I've Been Shagged drawing. Congratulations to Lilly Conner, Kevin Donlin, and Margherita Urbani!

It was great to see where so many of the pieces we've found, cleaned, and sold have ended up. Keep sending us photos and we'll put them on the Facebook Fan page.

New Arrival

We're loving this chair—just moved it into the store on Sunday afternoon. Beautiful caning!

Modern homes and the National Trust for Historic Preservation

The National Trust for Historic Preservation is making moves to protect and preserve Mid Century Modern homes in the New Canaan, CT area. Sparked by the opening of the Philip Johnson Glass House and the demolition of the Paul Rudolph home—both in 2007—the Trust has made a commitment to making Modernism the latest protected architectural movement. By creating the Survey of New Canaan Homes—an online survey of the remaining 91 modern homes in the New Canaan area—steps have been taken to increase awareness of this great movement in architecture.

More information (photos of the houses, details about the architects, and notes about historical significance) can be found here.

Turn the radio up

Perhaps Shag should start carrying vintage electronics? The typography is beautiful and some of the color choices are amazing. Even if it doesn't function a vintage radio can make for a beautiful art object. I now have a new target when sourcing products for the store.

Get out those cameras!

We’ve loved every piece of furniture, Pyrex, and glassware that has been at Shag. We loved it all so much we often wonder, “Where is it now?”

You can help satisfy that curiosity by sending us photos of Shag pieces in your home or in use. Just how great does that chair look in your living room? How cute are the cookies when displayed in that vintage cookie tin?

All participants will be entered into a drawing to win a $25, $15, or $10 gift certificate. Send your name and photo to info@shagphiladelphia.com by November 1. Winners will be notified via email November 4.
