Pompanoosuc Mills Bedroom Set

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, March 15, 2013 @ 10: 06 PM

0uimg 2166This solid maple Pompanoosuc bedroom set is an extreme bargain on consignment! From the exterior this set appears to be an average bedroom set, but handcrafted American made furniture made from all solid North American hardwoods, is expensive! It doesn't need to look fancy to be beautiful.

To purchase this set new would cost over $10,000. The craftsmanship is outstanding. We like this set because it is very versatile as it serves a purpose for each stage in life. It would be great in a master bedroom suite or in a second home. It would make a great gift for a couple just starting out in their first home.

This set is a wonderful price at $3,499. You can find other great furniture like this in our Furniture Consignment Gallery in Hanover, our Furniture Consignment shop in Newton and our newest Furniture Consignment Showroom in Plymouth, MA.

DR Dimes Tiger Maple Coffee Table

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, February 03, 2012 @ 09: 45 PM

uimg 7472This is two weeks in a row our Piece of the Week has sold after our video production. Nevertheless, you won't want to miss out on the next piece of furniture that you see at Furniture Consignment Gallery from DR Dimes. This was our mistake to produce the video on this spectacular DR Dimes Tiger Maple colonial coffee table. We should have known how desiresable this would be and that it would have little chance to stick around for a few extra days so that we could publish the video.uimg 7473

We should have learned our lesson from the last DR Dimes Tiger Maple dining set that we had in that sold in twenty minutes that left a customer who was too slow, sobbing while she walked out the door. It happens, and we should have selected an item for our piece of the week that would not sell quite as fast. Sorry if you missed out on this one, but you can still watch the video and be ready to act when the next piece of DR Dimes Tiger Maple furniture comes walking into our showroom. There is almost nothing better than DR Dimes furniture on consignment. You can find Tiger maple furniture on consignment in our Hanover, MA furniture consignment showroom or in a high-end upscale furniture consignment store in Newton, MA.

Pennsylvania House Queen Canopy Bed

 Pennsylvania House furniture had a great run as one of the top manufacturers and furniture design companies of the 1970s and 80s. They offered reasonably priced furniture with solid craftsmanship and construction. Many of their cherry and maple pieces produced in that time frame still have resale value provided that the condition is good.

Pennsylvania House left behind many satisfied customers from that furniture period and there are folks who are still in search of a nightstand or a dresser to compliment an existing set.

This week, our Piece of The Week, is this solid cherry queen canopy bed which was likely made in the late 1970s or early 1980s.

It is a bit colonial and would look really nice set  up in an Antique Queen Anne style home. The canopy is not too large and the bed as a whole would blend quite well with various types of other furniture such as pine, mahogany, tiger maple, etc.

For New England home owners who like to combine 18th Century American reproduction furniture with pieces made in the 20th Century, this bed should have much appeal. The Pennsylvania House Canopy Queen Bed is item number 2-3448 in our inventory and is currnetly $799.99.

You can find beautiful 18th Century reproduction furniture such as this bed in our Furniture Consignment Store in Hanover, MA as well as in our Furniture Consignment Gallery in Newton, MA which services customers who love shopping for consignment furniture in Wellesley, Weston, and Brookline.

Pre Owned Harden Furniture Queen Anne Dining Set

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, November 11, 2011 @ 06: 38 AM

g1ey0jvjKudos to Harden Furniture for hanging in there through the hardest of times. The last decade has been brutal on the furniture industry, one that the industry, over the course of time, would like to forget. The economy has put many furniture companies out of business and has many others holding on by a thread.

Harden has also experienced difficulties and has experienced some pain, but they have persevered. Never wavering from their principals of good construction, good design while staying true to its American routes; they are suddenly finding themselves well positioned for the future.

You may recall ABC's special series "Made in America" where Harden Furniture was featured. We followed up with our own blog on the topic "Thoughts on ABC's Made in America" that also gained national interest. So we thought that it is only right that as we approach the Thanksgiving Holiday, one of America's finest traditions, that we feature one of our favorite sets in our showroom right now, made by one of our favorite American manufacturers.

This Harden solid Queen Anne cherry dining room table has 2 leaves and 6 chairs. It is is in pristine condition from the upholstered cushions to the table top. This set will endure many family dinners and is structurally sound enough that it could be passed to other generations.  That is not an easy claim to make in today's world of disposable furniture.

We are selling this set for $1,999.99.  This is several thousand dollars below the retail price, but it still has excellent resale value. You can find quality furniture like this made by American manufacturers such as Eldred Wheeler and DR Dimes at Furniture Consignment Gallery in Hanover, MA and our newest Newton MA, Furniture Consignment store that services Boston, Brookline, Wellesley and Weston.
