Tiger Maple Major Dunlap High Boy

Posted by Jay Frucci on Sat, March 17, 2012 @ 05: 14 AM

uimg 0314Early American reproduction furniture is a house favorite at Furniture consignment Gallery. This Tiger Maple Dunlap High Boy by Eldred Wheeler is the nicest piece of furniture in our showroom right now so we had to make it our Piece of the Week before it travels to its next destination.

Inspired from an original work that was crafted by Major John Dunlap in the late 1700s, this piece has some amazing features. First there is a beautiful scrolled carving at the bottom of the highboy of pinwheels and the fan which is a tell tale sign of a Dunlap piece. The hardware has a nice aged patina and the dove tail cross bar which runs under each drawer is a sign of the wonderful craftsmanship of Eldred Wheeler.

Dunlap was a Northern New England craftsman who used the indigenous maple trees in New Hampshire to craft his furniture. He must have been quite lucky as many of his original creations are made from tiger maple and maple trees that produce the tiger stripes are not identifiable unless they are first cut down.

This chest is 80" tall and that is a bit comical given that the average height of an average American in the late 1700s was 5'8". Not even today's taller generations could see into the top drawers without a step stool.

This is a wonderful reproduction piece of furniture. The finish is full of life and the construction is bar none. You can enjoy it in your home for $5,799 and you can find many other wonderful pieces of furniture at our consignment furniture showrooms in Hanover, MA and in Chestnut Hill, MA.

Mahogany Executive Desk "Deal of the Week"

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, March 09, 2012 @ 12: 50 PM

This Mahogany Executive desk is really more of a work table. Some folks like to have desk storage on either side in the form of what is referred to as pedestals on a desk. However, in today's world of labtops and tablets,there is less of a need for deep drawers.

0uimg 0073

It is also really nice to be able to roll your chair from one side of the desk to the other without interference. So I'm really trying to sell this desk here, but here is the thing: this desk is beautiful and it is only $549.99. This desk has a nice mahogany top, has been recently refinished and the three drawers are all functional.

The desk also has nice brass hardware and pretty wood carvings to trim out the edges and the legs.

Mahogany Empire Style Inlaid Server

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, March 02, 2012 @ 05: 06 PM

uimg 8017How about this gorgeous mahogany Server! It really is a server, but could be used in so many other ways because it is very beautiful and offers a lot of functional storage.

Most important is the stunning contrast with the walnut inlaid deep drawers on the top and the crotch mahogany veneered doors. We love the wood knobs as it adds a lot of masculinity to the piece.

This server could be used in any area of the home as it has storage that could be used for dishware, but is equimg 8022ually as useful to store crafts, clothing or anything else that needs to be put away!

This server is circa 1910 and is available in our Hanover furniture consignment store along with many other amazing pieces of furniture. You can also find more great furniture in our in our Boston Furniture Consignment store located in Newton, MA.

1271This Mahogany Chippendale settee is our deal of the week because it is only $999! This settee is hand carved and is large in scale with three seat backs.

This piece is really calling the interior design community as it could be easily re-upholstered to match a client's decor and it is a unique piece. 1272It would be very nice situated in the hallway of a large home and would blend beautifully with tradition , transitional and even modern decor.

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.
