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.

You can find beautiful hand made, reproduction furniture such as this Eldred Wheeler dining set in our Furniture Consignment Gallery in Hanover, MA and in our newest Furniture Consignment Gallery in Chestnut Hill.

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.

DR Dimes Tiger Maple Coffee Table

Posted by Jay Frucci on Fri, February 03, 2012 @ 09: 45 PM

uimg 7472This is two weeks in a row our Piece of the Week has sold after our video production. Nevertheless, you won't want to miss out on the next piece of furniture that you see at Furniture Consignment Gallery from DR Dimes. This was our mistake to produce the video on this spectacular DR Dimes Tiger Maple colonial coffee table. We should have known how desiresable this would be and that it would have little chance to stick around for a few extra days so that we could publish the video.uimg 7473

We should have learned our lesson from the last DR Dimes Tiger Maple dining set that we had in that sold in twenty minutes that left a customer who was too slow, sobbing while she walked out the door. It happens, and we should have selected an item for our piece of the week that would not sell quite as fast. Sorry if you missed out on this one, but you can still watch the video and be ready to act when the next piece of DR Dimes Tiger Maple furniture comes walking into our showroom. There is almost nothing better than DR Dimes furniture on consignment. You can find Tiger maple furniture on consignment in our Hanover, MA furniture consignment showroom or in a high-end upscale furniture consignment store in Newton, MA.

 We have two pieces in our inventory featuring the name of local favorite manufacturer Eldred Wheeler.

 Eldred Wheeler pieces specialize in either cherry or tiger maple woods and they pride themselves on selecting the best stock of wood that will allow for the wood grains to pop through their classic finish.

 That is certainly true with this

uimg 7102

cherry library desk that has excellent drawer construction. The working surface area is very large and features a distinct cherry wood grain that is quite nice. This desk is listed on Eldred Wheeler's website for $5,995. We are selling the desk for $2,499 a savings of $3,000!

The same is true of this Eldred Wheeler King cannonball bed in Tiger maple.

The bed retails for $2,790 on their website and we are selling the same beds with beautiful wood grain, no lead time for $900 less. You can't beat that!  The Tiger stripes on the head board are striking and the cannon ball tops have a slightly aged look that makes the bed appear older than it is in a good way.  Our price for this beautiful bed is $1,899.

Posted by Jay Frucci on Sat, June 18, 2011 @ 06: 24 AM

The minds of our consignors connect in mysterious ways. We have not had a Tiger Maple corner cabinet from Eldred Wheeler in our inventory for years and suddenly in the same week, we accepted three of them into our inventory.  We have one which has a door that opens to the right in our Hanover, MA Furniture Consignment Showroom and two of these located in our Newton, MA Furniture Consignment Gallery. The cabinets in Newton are opposite opening so that they can positioned on alternate sides within a dining room. They are item numbers 2321-1, 2321-2 and 2320-3 in our inventory.

Eldred Wheeler produces 18th Century Early American reproduction colonial furniture.  They use a lot of Cherry and Maple woods in their furniture lines as the Cherry and Maple trees are prevalent in the Eastern United States. Their flagship products are manufactured with a tiger maple wood which features a distinct tiger striping. Many musical instruments such as Cellos and Violins also use tiger maple woods. 

Eldred Wheeler products have a very distinct finish that makes their products extremely popular in Massachusetts. Don't miss this opportunity to own one or three of these great corner cabinets. We have them prices at $2,599 each and that is an excellent value considering they are $4,800 if purchased direct from Eldred Wheeler. The best part is their is no lead time. You can buy them and bring them home with you today. Call one of our Furniture Consignment Showrooms in Newton or Hanover, MA today and secure your purchase.
