Eldred Wheeler Dining Room

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, July 20, 2012 @ 10: 00 PM

She found the chairs in our showroom about a year and a half ago. She bought them immediately and then had them recovered in a nice rose petal fabric.

She ordered the table direct from Eldred Wheeler and 8 months later her perfectly matched, tiger maple double pedestal small dining table finally arrived. After a few months of trying to get used to the gorgeous set, she and her husband could not eat a relaxing meal at the table. Too worried they would harm the table, they just could not enjoy it and decided to sell it for something more low key.

The excellent pricing combined with the immediate satisfaction of being able to avoid the long lead times to have an Eldred Wheeler product made especially for you, makes this set very attractive. The table is priced at $4,800 and the chairs for $4,000.

Kimball International Ladder Back Chairs

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, April 13, 2012 @ 01: 29 PM

0uimg 1728Chair manufacturing has dramatically changed in the last ten years. Not too long ago, crafting a quality chair was a heavily involved and time consuming process. High end manufacturers still take the time to hand carve and custom construct beautiful chairs, but they are labor intensive with skilled craftsman. The end result is a nice chair with a hefty price tag that will look great for generations.
    In the modern era of chair construction, engineered woods are machine turned overseas and packed into a kit that is assembled with hex screws in a warehouse. The result is an inexpensive chair with weak construction. When, the screws loosen and an enthusiastic guest rocks slightly back and forth, your guest may find himself planted on the ground with his chair in pieces.uimg 1730

This set of (8) arm chairs by Kimball International are excellent construction built from solid cherry woods. They are hand carved by skilled craftsman and are extremely sturdy. Furniture makers of yesteryear would praise these chairs. They are an excellent price at $899 for the set which converts to $112 per chair. That is a far cry from the hundreds of dollars you would have to pay for a similar styled and constructed chair in today's marketplace.

You can find excellent prices and great deals like these Kimball International chairs in Hanover's Furniture Consignment Gallery or in Boston's Furniture Consignment Gallery located in Newton's Chestnut Hill village.

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, March 23, 2012 @ 01: 28 PM


uimg 4826This Neoclassical round table and chairs is Furniture Consignment Gallery's Deal of the Week. This set is highlighted with Biedermeijer styling which includes the maple and burled walnut veneers contrasting with black lacquer accents and highlights.

Purchased from the Boston Design Center twenty-five years ago, this set has a bit of fading and wear, but would be well worth a small investment to liven the finish and with that, this set would be a knock-out.

This set does not huimg 4832ave a name brand, but is very unique in its styling and is very high quality. The carved backs and feet make this set a high-end winner and it is a fantastic deal at $1,050.00  This set could go in a library, kitchen, foyer, or a small dining area.

This set is currently priced at $7,200This set is currently priced at $7,200and that is a bargain! The chairs alone could sell for more than $10,000 and the table by itself could fetch $4,000 or more.

Though there is no name brand associated with this set, it has all indications that it is very well made. The carved outer edge of the table and the banded inlay are quite nice and add some uniqueness to the set.

uimg 7038

The set has been refinished, but could be finished again if a different tone and gloss is preferred. The pedestal bases are quite amazing as they boast a solid mahogany ball and claw that is over sized and hand carved. These types of sets are hard to find and this one is a great deal!

You can find fine furniture like this mahogany Chippendale table with 10 chairs at either of our Furniture Consignment Gallery showrooms located on the outer edges of

Outdoor Furniture Set "Piece of the Week"

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, February 17, 2012 @ 09: 45 PM
uimg 8428

It may not seem to be the time of year to begin thinking about your pool patio deck, but time is flying! As the month of February has the feel of Spring in the air, maybe we'll be treated to an early and extended summer.

Outdoor furniture sets are a substantial investment if you choose to go with good quality and design. That is why, even thought we are still in the dead of winter, we made this great cast aluminum outdoor set our Piece of the Week.

Our logic is that it is hard to come by quality pre-owned outdoor furniture sets.

uimg 8461

Most of the sets that are offered to us have been well weathered and are not very appealing. Others are rusted, have mildew or have faded quite a bit. But this set is none of those things. It has been well cared for and has many pieces including a glider, swivvel rocker, coffee table, end table, three seat sofa, table with

four chairs two umbrellas and a chaise lounge.

If your patio set is in need of replacement, we would recommend checking this set out. It is a great value and you may need it sooner than we all think should the weather continue to stay ahead of its normal schedule.

Investing in the right pieces for those moments is important, but it never hurts to find a great deal.  This Henkle Harris solid mahogany table has (4) leaves.  It is circa 1960 and is quite beautiful.  For $1,499 this is an excellent price.
