I would like to know how much this is worth, wood buffet table in a very good condition. I had have it for more than 25 years . Thanks for your help.
Furniture sales are regional supply and demand based. Not sure where Judy is, but that is sad that this would end up in a donation pile. I want to shop there!!
Where I am in Pittsburgh, in some markets you could fetch $300-$500 for your piece--if you were in the right part of town (we have some areas where people want to recreate their 1920s-1940 homes with period piece) and used the right words to advertise--which are art deco and sideboard and the wood type--which looks like oak.
This is unusual piece and looks well maintained.
Start high and take best offer. No matter where you are in the country (if you are in the US) you will fetch a higher value for the item if you sell it through a vintage store or antique shop, but you will split the profits with the store.
Post back how your sale goes!! This is a lovely piece!
This buffet is very original - this sideboard has a drinks cabinet in the side. The style is Art Deco. It dates from around the 1920's or 1930's. Made presumably from Solid Oak. I found a little similar buffet: www.worthpoint.com/
Oak Breakfront Art Deco 1930s Sideboard was sold for £265($370.34) www.antiques-atlas.com/
The price of 1930's vintage retro antique art deco carved oak sideboard buffet cabinet is £225 www.ebay.co.uk/
Rare Ercol Oak Sideboard is on sale for £99, but it seems to be smallerwww.ebay.co.uk/
So, you have Antique Original Art Deco 1930s Sideboard Buffet with Drinks Cabinet (presumably Oak). The price is about $350-400, but the price depends on the demand in your area, as delivery is very expensive.
Was wondering what this would be worth. I am wanting more info on this piece.
This has been in the family for 50 years that we know of. Can you help?
My husband auctions part time, and I sometimes clerk for him. In my area, at a general auction this would probably go for around $40. But, if it were at a vintage auction, closer to $60.
Can anyone help me identify these antique chairs? They are said to be 18th century?
I believe you are going to have to find some site that has more members who are into this type of furniture.
There are a lot of forums with members who have varied knowledge of vintage and antiques so try posting your question on several of these and any others you can find as you may gain little bits of information from each one that you can put together.

You can also try for a free appraisal as these sometimes give good information.

Neat pieces! My best suggestion is to have a reputable antique dealer look at them in person.
It is very challenging from pictures.
Everything I can see leads me to believe they are from the 1920s-1940s (or they could be old chairs that were redone in that era).
Everything about the chair that is visible looks machine made or machine assembled--nails, wood frieze, brass tacks and from the 1900s on.
Also, while velvet/velveteen was around for hundreds of years, it did not become common in every day, mass produced furniture until around the 1920s. Again--the chairs could be old and redone in this or a later era.
Someone needs to really look at the chair construction and things under the meshy stuff on the bottom and see how they are assembled.
If they are 18th century, they do look redone. I am not sure how that would impact the value. Values are regional also so without knowing more about your market and the supply and demand of furniture in your town, setting a value will be challenging.
Whomever looks at them for you can give you the values for your location.
They are really lovely!! Post back what you learn!
I have two twin beds from my mother-in-law's house and am trying to find out more info about them like age, type of wood, and value. I also need to have custom size mattresses for them if anyone in the Chicago area knows somewhere local.
Thank you in advance!
This looks like a 1950s Conant Ball piece, although they are usually marked with the CB logo. Is it a 3\4 size...not a twin or full? Sometimes out can use a dorm mattress to fit it. Is there a logo? If not it could be an homage piece.
If it is a Conant, in most markets these are a hard sell because of the unusual size. If they sell they fetch $50-$100. If it is not marked, the value will be about half.
They are sturdy and will last a lifetime! Thanks for sharing.
I believe you should ask your mother-in-law about these beds; where were they bought; store, city, state? What year were they purchased? Would this be possible? Maybe another relative?
I'm not sure that we can identify this twin bed set as it appears there are no markings to associate with a brand name and it really looks like the carving - VII - was made by someone that had nothing to do with the brand of furniture.
The features that puzzle me:
1.) The bed rails are much thicker than normal production beds and the metal pieces that hold the springs & mattress are something new to me.
2.) The foot-board is very unusual as it appears to have a hanger on the inside that will hold a bed skirt and does not match the head-board in any way.
As examples; these twin beds are what is the 'normal' head board and foot board:

I do not like using WorthPoint postings as they do not state if item was sold or give a price if sold but the sellers do sometimes have good information about their items:
Their bed has a paper tag with a name:
Van Stee Corporation
I thought perhaps these were made by that company but could not find good information.
www.worthpoint.com/
All of this leads me to believe the head-board and foot-board may be authentic and made by some 'unknown company (maybe even Conant Ball) but the rails and foot-board seem to have been custom made and fitted to the side and foot-board.
It's also possible the beds were cut down at the same time and may be some unknown size or they may be 3/4 size.
Considering the depth of the side rails and the depth of the metal holders it appears these were set up to use springs and mattress as these look like regular hardware. It may be possible to fit a flat spring that holds a mattress but it 'appears' that just a mattress would be setting too deep in the frame.
I do not know how anyone could give you a true value when something has been 'custom' made but you may just wish to decide on a price for yourself and post it with pick up only and see how it goes.
Can anyone tell me about this dresser please.
