4 Poster Beds

Posted by Jay Frucci on Thu, July 12, 2012 @ 01: 36 PM

bedsFour poster beds were once a symbol of a man's wealth. Fancy beds and the dressings that cover the canopy and the openings indicated the social status and the financial strength of the man. In today's world, hardly anyone uses the canopy tops anymore, but they are still nice even if the curtain dressings are not utilized.

Four poster beds are readily available for all persons from various econmic backgrounds and so they are no longer a symbol of wealth. However, there are differences in today's four poster beds most of which boil down to personal preference.

Some folks like a bigger, bolder poster that fills the room, while others like a poster that is sleeker and more elegant. Sometimes more is less and somteimes more is, well...more.

We have noticed that homeowners who appreciate color and design work would rather see less of the dark wood so that the eyes focus on beautiful fabrics on window treatments, bed dressings and the wall coverings. While others want  to see the wood work.

There is no right or wrong, only personal prefernce. And the great thing about Furniture Consignment Gallery is that we have many wonderful four poster beds to choose from at the moment. We have a nice, bold, turned black King 4 Poster bed or a beautiful Teak, canopy, king bed that has rustic, elegant posters and a canopy top. A larger and more brawny Thomasville 4 poster king bed and a lovely Hickory Chair canopy King four poster bed. There are also two four poster beds in Chestnut Hill one that is a Queen and another that is a King.

With many four poster beds to choose from, this a great time to make a nice addition to you home. All of these beds are of excellent quality and craftsmanship.

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, March 30, 2012 @ 09: 09 PM

Moosehead furniture is one of our favorite makers who makes no more. You may recall our blog referencing the company titled 3 Past Winners Shine on Resale Market.1uimg 5874

We happen to have three identical Moosehead sold maple, mission style twin beds. These beds are all rock solid and will withstand and endure some serious punishment from the most raucous of kids. These beds should be strongly considered to outfit your new vacation home or to replace some tired old beds.

When Moosehead was rolling along these beds retailed at around $800 each and you can find them for what is likely to be a limited time at Furniture Consignment Gallery for $239 each. What a deal that is! And that is why they are our Deal of the week.

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.

uimg 0320

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.

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.

Henredon King Sleigh Bed - Piece of the Week

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, January 13, 2012 @ 10: 59 PM

1uimg 5523This is one of our favorite beds that we have seen in a long, long time. Though this is a big bed, it does help to maximize the space in the bedroom as the sleigh does not extend too far out. This way you can press the headboard almost flush against the wall. Most sleigh beds have an arched back and as a result you have to alot for more square footage in the bedroom as the bed protrudes further into the room.

The footbaord sits below the mattress line and also has very little arch so again it offers more space in the room.

1uimg 5524

The design tapers out towards the bottom of the bed for a very sleek and modern look. We really like the look of this bed as it is very sleek and sexy, yet it is able to blend in with the more traditional chests and accent pieces. This Henredon bed is a very good value and can be had for a very good price at $1,499.

You can find great beds like this in our Hanover Furniture Consignment Gallery and also in our newest Furniture consignment Gallery in Chestnut Hill.
