Charak Furniture Dining Table

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, March 30, 2012 @ 09: 21 PM

0uimg 2213Charak Furniture was one of the premier makers of high end reproduction furniture in the United States during the 1930s. Manufactured in Boston, Charak pieces were wonderfully crafted with solid mahogany and fabulous veneers. The works of true artisans, Charak Furniture is very desiresable among collectors and furniture connoisseurs.

A quick search on ebay will reveal some stout pricing and the demand is evident for such pieces.

This particular Charak table is an amazing piece as it boasts four leaves and the ends drop down to form a small drop leaf table which is able to fit into even the smallest abodes. But this beauty quickly transitions into a full sized dining table offering great looks, stability and comfort. The carved pedestal base which supports the table top in a symmetric fashion allows for up to eight chairs to surround  a good meal without the frustration of wiggling around table legs or pedestals.

This table has been restored with a hand rubbed, French polish finish and is available for $1,499 in our Hanover Furniture Consignment Gallery. You can also find great dining room table in our Newton Furniture Consignment Gallery.

Harden Furniture Goddard Library Display Cabinet - Piece of the Week

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, March 04, 2011 @ 01: 53 PM

As ABC World News ran a wonderful feature this week on Home Furnishings that are Made in America, we shine our Furniture Spotlight on this Harden Furniture Goddard Library Display Cabinet. This cabinet is one of my favorite pieces manufactured by the Harden line.  It is solid cherry and is item number 2182-1 in our inventory.  Even the structural interior bones are a solid cherry.  This a very high-end piece that is striking in appearance and would be the focal point in your home. Harden Furniture is one of the companies that ABC World News selected to provide replacement furniture for the home in Dallas Texas.  Go to ABC World News to see the story Made in America: What's The Cost of US Housewares? Harden Furniture is manufactured in upstate New York and they harvest the wood for their furniture from their own forests.  ABC World News also did a nice feature on Harden Furniture.  The only thing more American than buying this amazing American made piece of furniture is the American tradition of buying from and selling to your neighbors. Consignment makes this practice easy and confidential. When you buy furniture on consignment even the high end pieces become affordable.  We hope you enjoy our piece of the week video.
