FURNITURE FROM HISTORY

How to determine what type of furniture is in my parent’s home … and how to price/appraise it …?

My parent’s bought beautiful furniture when they moved in to their first (and only) home in the mid 50s. I believe it is mahogany, but unsure how to tell. I have searched and searched and come up with either Chippendale or Queen Anne …

How do I go about getting someone to come in and appraise the furniture for us to sell it (and not have an appraiser give us an unfair price thinking he/she may buy it). I’m not kidding you … this furniture is over 60 years old and really looks brand new.

There is a Dining Room suite with a table with two or three leaves, four side chairs and two arm chairs along with a buffet, server/sideboard, and china cabinet. There is a bedroom suite with a tall boy, long dresser, full bed with headboard and footboard and a night stand.

Where do I go to find out what kind of furniture this might be and how to get a fair price/appraisal?

Before getting someone to appraise your parents furniture for you, first things first. You have to know the current prices of furniture these days. That’s because a 60 year old furniture may cost a high value or simply will become cheaper than the new furniture these days depending on what you know about the today’s price of furniture. Have a lot of reference on where you can compare the prices of new ones to your parents 60 year old furniture.

Brian Chippendale $78.07 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Brian Chippendale (born 1973) is a musician and artist based out of Providence, Rhode Island. Chippendale is best known as the drummer/vocalist for the bands Lightning Bolt (alongside bassist Brian Gibson) and Mindflayer (alongside Matt Brinkman). He also plays saxophone and drums in a solo project called Black Pus. Chippendale also illustrates his own comic book series, Maggots, and a number of other oneshot, limitedpublication comics. As a result of playing drums in front of Lightning Bolts amplification setup, which often exceeds 3000 watts, Chippendale has been reported to have suffered considerable hearing loss. Before its destruction, Chippendale was a member of Fort Thunder, part of an abandoned, preCivil War textile factory in Providence, Rhode Island known as a workspace for local, avantgarde artists. Chippendale grew up outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and attended Conestoga High School in Berwyn. He started drumming with his first band, the Pissants, in 1989.
