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.

Antique Mahogany Queen Anne Sofa - Piece of the Week

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, April 15, 2011 @ 10: 49 PM

This week's Furniture Spotlight features an antique carved mahogany Queen Anne sofa with rolled arms, circa 1870-1890. This is a very solid sofa as the bones within it are extraordinary.  It has a lot of hand carving and the wood is crotch mahogany.  It has had some repair work which is typical of apiece of it's age with delicate carvings, but the repair work is well done so only a trained eye would notice.  It has likely been reupholstered several times and could be reupholstered again.  This is sofa is $2,250 and would go beautifully in an antique home, a Victorian or Boston Tudor.
