Every now and then a majestic piece of furniture wanders into our showroom. Sometimes these pieces sneak in unnoticed and sit in a corner until a sophisticated buyer recognizes the history, the subtle beauty and the value. When this 1880's English born mahogany partner's desk hit our floor, we cleared out a section and placed it where everyone could admire its beauty.
We didn't have a choice in the matter as the desk measures 87" Wide and 54.5" deep. That is a lot of surface area. So much surface space that one could play a fun game of ping pong on it. So we decided to see test our ping pong theory and have a game of ping pong on this fabulous desk. (watch the video of 10 year old Collin taking on his Dad in ping pong).
The green leather has a gold leaf etching around the border and it is in fantastic condition. The ping pong ball bounced with precision off the soft leather which has hardly even a divot in it. When we needed some extra playing space, we propped up the drop leaf on the far side of desk. The traditional use of the desk is for business partners to work across from each other each day and every day. There was no need for texting or cell phones back in the day when this desk was properly employed. communication was direct and constant. Everyone worked in the same office. Now partners work together on different continents, but we still believe the desk has a place in store for it -- somewhere. And when the secretary came in to meet with the partners she would sit at the end of the desk, prop-up the the leaf and take diligent notes.
The desk seems to have all of its original parts, but it is possible that at one point it may have had wooden knobs which might make the desk a little older than we think. The desk is currently priced at $12,000. It is one of a kind and a magnificent piece that can double as a gaming table when partners tire of work. Come check out this fabulous piece of furniture in our Hanover Furniture Consignment Gallery located 20 minutes South of Boston.
This desk was manufactured by Henkel Moore a division of the world renowned furniture maker Henkel Harris Furniture Co. The desk has a gorgeous inlaid 22k gold embossed leather top. Yes, gold. The desk was extracted from a grand Victorian home in Boston's, prestigious, Brookline neighborhood. The original owner purchased the desk new about 15 years ago and paid more than double our asking price. The desk is in tip top condition and is beautiful in scale. It has an amazing, multi-part construction infrastructure so that it comes apart into smaller pieces so that it can be moved through doors and up stairs. The tulip wood veneers are fabulous. The desk is a true masterpiece. Clearly this desk is not for everyone, but for someone who has a high end clientele visiting their office or who wants to make an incredible statement in a home office; this desk is a must see. The desk is priced at $8,499 and can be viewed in our Chestnut Hill location.

The desk measures: 84" wide by 43" deep by 30.5" high
Sofa sectionals have undergone some of the most revolutionary changes in the furniture industry in the last 10 years. As Americans, our jobs demand more and more of our time. We work at home, in the car, in the office and even on vacations. So when we relax we really want to relax.
Furniture makers are aware of the consumers desire to make themselves as comfortable as possible. The result is that now you can custom build a seating arrangement in your most comfortable living space that suits you the best. Sectionals are now more curvy, if you so desire or can be lean with a chaise that kicks to the right or the left. A sleeper mattress can pop from the middles and you can add as many sections as you want to make it consume as much of your lving space as you want. Today the customization goes way beyond the fabrics that you choose and the general style. That is the good news.
The bad news is that these customizations even low quality sectionals are super expensive. Most sectionals that are of good quality can be expected to price out in the $4,000 range and they can go higher -- much higher. Back to the good news. If you are fortunate enough to find the right sofa with the right customization and an acceptable fabric in our furniture consignment gallery network of stores, you can save thousands. Today we have sectionals in each of our showrooms ranging in price from $1,100 - $2,500. These sectionals are in excellent condition and are great prices.
You can find excellent bargains on all of the furniture in our showrooms, not just sectionals. we have high quality per-owned furniture in excellent condition for the best prices in our Hanover, Newton and Plymouth furniture showrooms.
The God's honest truth is that this is the first piece of Swaim Furniture we have ever had in our showroom and all we hear from our customers is: can you get more of it? I'm telling you, this upholstered sofa is just dynamite. It features a woven linen Kravet fabric with nailhead trim. The contemporary squared off arm and the fine lines make this a wonderful transitional piece. The cushions offer the perfect blend of support and comfort. One of the few sofas that I have sat in that I seriously wanted to take home with me.
Swaim is a North Carolina company that finely crafts custom upholstery. We have had serious buyers looking at this sofa all week and by the time you open the video, we understand that it may be sold. But we thought it would be worth featuring anyway.
This beauty was custom ordered, for a gorgeous waterfront home under construction. When the designer presented it to the home owner, it was rejected. Why? We have no idea, but why as why? It is here, it is a beautiful and it is a steal at $2,500. Don't wait. Call our Chestnut Hill showroom today at 617-467-5343. Ask for Jeff and pray it is still available.
You can find beautiful furniture like this Swaim sofa in our Chestnut Hill, Hanover and Plymouth showrooms. Our Massachusetts furniture consignment business serves all of New England and beyond.
Contrasting colors in wood veneer work allows you to blend multiple types of furniture together in a room. For example the light and dark combination that is featured on this Maitland-Smith bookcase will help allow you to put furniture with lighter complexions like some maple woods with darker woods, like walnut and mahogany, together in the same room.
Maitland-Smith furniture is renowned for its fine veneer work. The pieces are beautiful if featured alone, but they also work very well together in a room with other pieces which is why we love this particular piece.
This isn't your mother's dining room tableand it may not go into a traditional dining room, but glass top round dining tables are a great way to go. We like them for a lot of reasons. First, though they may scratch, a scratch on glass is not nearly as significant as a scratch on a hand rubbed wood finish. In fact, glass top tables are much easier to maintain. Soap and water, windex or glass plus will all clean the surface just fine. The sun won't hurt it and neither will the cat if it jumps on it. The hot cup of tea can rest directly on the surface and there is no reason to cry over the spilled milk as it will have no lasting impact on the table.
Stylistically, the glass top table can handle a traditional chair in a traditional setting or a slipper chair with more of a contemporary design. The glass can vary in thickness and a
nice polished edge is always a plus. We like tables with a beveled or contoured edge to give it a little extra style.
The table base can be subdued or ornate. There is no right or wrong it is just your choice, thought we prefer the straighter lines and metal as an alternative to the plaster or concrete base.
Glass top tables can also double as foyer tables, are great for playing cards or doing puzzles and a round glass top table is the best way to entertain guests. It is easiest to have a good, even conversation around a round table.
We have a few nice, round glass top dining tables
in our inventory and they come and go. As you hunt for the right dining room solution in your home, don't forget to check out the glass top option.
