Furniture Spotlight by Furniture Consignment Gallery

 Fremarc makes a really nice table.  You can find this at the design center in Boston or on occasion at Furniture Consignment Gallery.  This table has a nice oak, parquet top.  The finish has a comfortable sheen and for a high end table, it is very durable.  This set can handle the rigors of a young family as it is hard to scratch the surface.  Perfect for country causal living, this set has 6 upholstered chairs and (2) extension leaves that add onto the ends extending the table out to 120 inches. 

The French Country look is very fun and inviting and this set is an excellent price at $2,999. This is item number 2382-1 in our inventory and we also have a matching server which is item number 2382-2.

  You can find other high end dining sets for discount prices at either of our Furniture Consignment stores in the Boston area.

Good looking furniture that is comfortable and offered at an excellent price doesn't stick around our store very long.  In the case of this week's feature piece, these Ethan Allen Wall Hugging Recliners have it all: handsome styling, extreme comfort and affordability.  Yet, they have been here for over a month!  Maybe they just need a little push and that's why they are this week's "Piece of the Week". The recliners are item number 2309-27 in our inventory.

Featuring Cognac dyed leather and a smooth reclining mechanism, these recliners are a very good buy.  Ethan Allen sells these in their current catalog for $1,600  - $1,800 each.  We are selling the pair for $1,359.99 that is better than a two for one deal.  The head rest on one of the recliners has a little wear where the dye has rubbed off a bit, but it is not bad and the overall condition is excellent.

These recliners are great for every day TV watching or can be positioned in a bedroom. These are fantastic "Man Cave" pieces. You can find these and other great items on our website at www.furnitureconsignment.com or in our Furniture Consignment Gallery in Hanover, MA and our newest Furniture Consignment Gallery in Newton, MA

 Simple yet elegant this Mahogany Henkel Harris triple dresser with mirror is a steal at $799.   We have several pieces that would complement this nice dresser including a Henkel Harris Queen size 4 poster bed.  The mahogany finish would be easy to match night stands and a tall chest with it.

This week, we focus again on Stickley Furniture, but turn our attention to the Cherry Valley Collection which was inspired from early American Colonial designs. The Cherry Valley line is no longer produced by Stickley. We are fortunate to have the "Welsh Cupboard" in our inventory and it is in pristine condition. Made from solid cherry woods, it has all of the elements of great craftsmanship which you would expect from Stickley. The original Welsh Cupboard is in the Stickley Museum and was first produced in 1965. The Welsh Cupboard that we are featuring was manufactured in 1978. It is item number 2248-3 in our inventory and is priced at $2,499.  Other pieces from the Stickley Cherry Valley collection in our inventory include the Stickley Cherry Valley Corner Cabinet with carved top, the Stickley Cherry Valley Corner Cabinet, Stickley Cherry Valley Drop Leaf Dining Table, and a set of (6) Stickley Cherry Valley Colonial style chairs. If you love Stickley Furniture and have a home that can handle Colonial styles, these pieces could make a magnificent addition to your home. 

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.

This week we were fortunate to bring in furniture from a combination of three luxury spec homes in Ballymeade Country Club in East Famlouth Massachusetts.  The builder did a factory direct deal with Bassett Furniture and therefore there are a lot of Bassett furniture pieces in this collection.  Basset is a company that is 99% American Made.  In fact they were featured in ABC's made in America feature special.  You can view our blog and our thoughts on the ABC piece along with our original video blog on the Vaughn Basset product.

There are plenty of great deal's in this week's furniture list.

Our focus this week is on Bent Bros. which was the fourth oldest New England Furniture manufacturer. They didn't just make chairs, but that was their specialty. They worked mostly with solid maple woods and their most popular creations are the solid maple Windsor chairs which we have in our inventory. These chairs were made in the 1960s and they are as solid as they were the day they were purchased. They are made from all solid woods, are hand planed, glued, screwed and joined in all of the right ways. These chairs should outlive generations and they still look great.

Sadly, many of these wonderful manufacturers of chairs have struggled to the point of having to close their doors. Recently in New England we have lost Hitchcock Chair Co., Nichols and Stone and others. Imports have arrived such as the Hooker dining table and chairs that we also have in our inventory. These imports have a more updated design, an appealing finish and are very attractive. The chair made by Hooker which is imported from China appears to be very solid and sturdy as well. But when we examine the chair closer, it is supported and secured with a weak engineered wood. Held together by a hex screw, nothing is glued or joined in a proper way. In fact, this chair was assembled from parts on its arrival to the original retailer's warehouse. What this means is that these screws will loosen and when they do, the chair will have play in it. When the chair rocks back and forth from this play, the engineered wood won't be strong enough to support the weight of an individual's shifting weight. The connecting wood at the corners of the chair could crack and the engineered wood is difficult to repair.

The, new, imported chairs have cut corners and prices and they have challenged the mettle of America's best chair companies.  Bent Bros is no longer producing chairs, but these featured chairs will carry on for generations. The imported chairs may hold together for five to ten years. That is a drastic difference. If these Bent Bros. chairs were manufactured today, they would retail for between $500 - $700 each. This set of eight chairs is priced for $1,499. 

Our Furniture Spotlight Deal of the Week is this Drexel Heritage Queen Anne Cherry Dining Table. What we love about this table is it's ability to go from a very small 42" oval table to an 82" Dining table that can easily entertain eight hungry people.  This is perfect for someone who has a small living space, but on occasion will entertain a larger group. 

Drexel Heritage does a very nice job of adding subtle carvings to basic styles that differentiate it from their competition.  On this particular table, it has a little carve marks at the top of the leg.  This carving is subtle, yet elegant and it makes it more upscale than an Ethan Allen or Pennsylvania House competitor from the same time period which is early 1980s.  What do we like best about this table? The price!  At $450, this table is in excellent condition and it is a great deal!

This week's Furniture Spotlight Piece of the Week is a beautifully crafted and versatile Kindel Irish Georgian Society Reproduction Library Cabinet. This cabinet is an heirloom piece of furniture as it is a true reproduction.  According to a Ney York Times article published in 2001, Kindel Irish Georgian reproduction pieces that are 10 years old, sell for 20% more than what somebody originally paid for it.  We have since been through a recession and are not sure that statement would hold true on every piece in the collection, but it makes the point that this is a special piece of furniture. This particular piece is item number 2215-7 in our inventory. This cabinet is hand crafted and made from solid mahogany. It has many features as the front pulls out from the base and transforms the piece into a real game table. There is storage for playing pieces underneath the green felt board which is in perfect condition. There is a pop-up reading tray which can either be used as a functional place where one can sit and read, or as a display for a decorative book. When the piece is condensed to it's dormant state, it is a beautiful, simple piece of furniture. The brass hardware and beveled glass are finely crafted to flow with the rest of the piece. The piece was originally purchased for around $10,000 twenty years ago and is selling in our showroom for $5,500.  If it were to be sold new today, it would sell for between $15,000 - $17,000.
