While not every house on WowHaus is a retro home, we've found quite a lot of 20th century properties in the last week or so - too many to flag up here. So we've picked out our favourites below and if you want to see the rest, check out the site.

1950s Fello Atkinson and Brenda Walker-designed midcentury modern property in Leicester, Leicestershire

A listed property on the outskirts of Leicester and not only that, the house known as Goddard House has been maintained in its Bauhaus style for decades, making this quite a desirable place for the midcentury obsessive.

Peter Aldington-designed 1960s modernist property in Bessacarr, near Doncaster, South Yorkshire

Another preserved property and another listed by English Heritage. In south Yorkshire, you'll find a single-storey house and open plan living that's hardly been touched for over 45 years. It's also perhaps the best value midcentury modern property in the country too.

1960s Richard Neutra-designed modernist property in Wuppertal, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

Richard Neutra designs are rare in Europe, even rarer to be offered for sale. This one looks like it could have been built yesterday, but dates back to 1967. Open plan living at its finest.

1960s Eric Lyons-designed three-bedroom Span House in New Ash Green, Longfield, Kent

I'm loathe to call any house price cheap, so we'll say this Span House is one of the more affordable examples.

It needs work, perhaps needs some modernist character putting back in, but it is priced well and comes with all the little communal touches you expect of a Span House.

1950s Eduard Ludwig-designed modernist property in Berlin, Germany

Built for an architecture competition in the 1950s and found in a protected area amongst the work of other famous architects, this single-storey house was given a complete makeover recently, taking it back to its period glory. The results are stunning.

Four-bedroom 1960s modernist property in Waalre, near Eindhoven, Holland

Anther stunner from Europe, this one looks like it has 'landed' in a huge field. Open spaces, balconies, large windows, this is '60s living at its best.

1960s three-bedroom midcentury modern property in Sacramento, California, USA

Midcentury US living as you imagine it - angled wood ceilings, open plan spaces, fitted furniture and large windows as a canvas. Mixed with some modern features and separate guest space, this is a real winner.

Designed by Philippe Bestenheider for Fratelli Boffi, the chair is inspired by early 20th century techniques and designs. It is made up of pentagon shapes, composed of double cane.  It is available with a choice of finishes and as ever, I'm drawn to the walnut option. There are no prices given for the Lui 5/A, but it is a bespoke piece, expect to pay a considerable amount.

Liking this 1950s vintage theatre lighting floor lamp very much, which even comes with its own bit of theatre history.

The light itself was originally designed in Covent Garden in the 1950s, then used in the Palace Theatre in Shaftesbury Avenue in the capital, used for many of the major shows over the years.

Since then, the lamp and its ventilated die-cast body, 360 degree rotation, rare 'extended lense tube' and mirror finish has been upgraded for the home, cleaned up, attached to a handmade wooden tripod (with height-adjustable legs) and rewired.

Lots of images on the site if you want to see more. If you like it, the lamp is at just 99p - and with no reserve.

Perhaps it's due to the continuing popularity of Cath Kidston, but there are plenty of great vintage-inspired floral bags available right now, whether it's the Paperchase lunch bag we showed you last week or this new Rambling Rose bag from Dotcomgiftshop. 

And the best is yet to come: the price. It's available for a very reasonable £29.95.

With the Great Gtasby movie all over the papers (and readying itself for the big screen), it seems like the right time to go back to source and revisit a range that mixes style with substance. That being F.Scott's Fitzgerald's Penguin Hardback Classics. 

The range was re-issued to mark the 70th anniversary of the author's death, with the set including new issues of Tender is the Night, The Beautiful and The Damned, This Side of Paradise, The Last Tycoon, Flappers and Philosophers and of course, The Great Gatsby itself. Each volume is given a luxury look, decorated with a metallic art deco-inspired pattern - each title having a different treatment. They'd make suitably glamorous editions to your book shelves, either on their own or as a set. They look great as a set (I can say that as an owner!)

The books are out now and discounted on Amazon, priced around £9.59 each.

The unit is available in either American black walnut or white oak, with the option of having painted shelves, drawers and dividers. As well as looking stunning, the Dixon unit provides flexibile storage solutions - it is available in either a single unit or the double as shown above, but they are modular so can be combined if you need more storage space. It can also double as a room divider. The single unit costs £2099 in oak, £2299 in walnut, whilst the double costs £4099 in oak and £4499 in walnut.

Now this is something special, not to mention rarely seen. A 1960s Dieter Rams-designed Braun FS 80 television.

Designed by Rams back in 1964, this is still the modernist dream and reminiscent of the designer's audio systems of the same era, not least with the controls underneath the screen.

Of course, this is a TV, so there are limitations. it is in original unrestored condition, which means, by logic, we're presuming this black and white TV isn't going to be out of the box ready for digital TV in the UK. But I'm sure you could get advice on sorting that out somewhere.

But the rareness is the selling point here, which also reflects on the price. This TV will set you back £999 - although you can make a cheaper offer if you want to chance your arm.

Having featured the iconic Kubus 4 candlestick recently, now seems like a good time to mention its companion piece, the Kubus Bowl.

This decorative bowl is based on original sketches by Mogens Lassen and has the same Bauhaus-influenced simplicity as the candlestick, but it wasn't put into production until more recently. It can be used to hold fruit, sweets or simply as a decorative item, but I'm particularly keen on it used as it is in this picture, to grow mini cacti and other plants. It costs £115.
