Hello everyone, I have spent many fruitless hours trying to find what this piece of furniture is/called. It belonged to a relative which has had it for at least 30+ & it's constructed of real wood.

Thank you very much, sideboard that totally slipped my mind I been searching just about everything else & thanks again. Also would this forum be a good place to find out about an old doll also belong to the same relative?

"Credenza" is another term that you can try:

you,ll probanly find that it is not entirely made from real wood, it will have a veneer in places, and i can see on the left, which has the drop down door..this is where the drinks would be kept..and that white surface is in fact formica..

Yep, a modern credenza. Millions of them out there. Worth: virtually none.

..Ah!...firewood has value.... ;D

Depending on your location, 60's - 70's mid century credenzas like this sell in shops for $300- $400. You can't give away antique brown furniture (Victorian, Edwardian even Georgian is out of fashion) but anything mid century teak is hot!
-
I agree gg27,,!! Designer pieces even better !!
-
I must be on a different planet.$200/$300...oops i,ve fallen off my chair.....these sideboards over here...are ..firewood...the only ones that can make some money are the Danish/Swedish designer ones...but the rest..they end up like them kitchen hoosier things...stuck in garages holding paint pots and tools....just a 2/3 years ago, i bought one in Germany for 10 euro,s....i only wanted the brass handles that were on it.....
-
Agree gg27 and Mart, these sell well in our area!!! $ 350 to $ 450
-
Well, all i can say is...Americans have got too much money...i,m going to my monthly auction, and i will take pics of any that i see and i can almost guarantee..that they will either remain unsold..or will go for between £3 to £5....£10 tops, but it,ll have to be a top one at that.... :o
-
yeah, i am going with bigwull on this one, mid century modern was hot 10 years ago but that fad has gone, at least on the east coast of USA
-
Doesn`t do too well in the boonies like I am but metro areas it does !! Goes with a lot of the minimalist styles,, sleek and clean !! Particularly suited to small apartments !!
-
Thanks Bigwull. I did not know that I had too much money. In fact I thought I did not have enough money. Thanks for straightening me out on that. I will pass that info on to my creditors. They will be happy to know that.
In the NYC area mid century furniture sells well but only if it has a well known name or origin as Bigwull said. Nice country pieces sell well as do industrial pieces and Arts and Crafts. Edwardian and Victorian sell if they are outstanding. The old golden oak and burl walnut has not increased here in 30 years although the really nice pieces have vanished. I am sure a cylinder front secretary would bring over 2000.00 if you could find one.

I think frogpatch has this right as well, generally speaking, "brown furniture" is down, way down in prices however, quality sells. The top end of the market, no matter style, era usually sells well, its the middle market that suffers.

Too bad Frogpatch and Jacon gave us a little perspective, because I was going to let EVERYONE know that if they have any fine condition Belter or Meeks brown furniture that they can't give away, I'd be glad to pay postage to my place here in Missouri.
Yes, Victorian has lost value, there's no doubt. However, as low as it may have gone, I'll take it and its remaining value any day over faddist mid century kindling.
-
But Victorian stuff burns better.... ;D
-
Be careful saying it's worthless or firewood.

$6,000 and unless you know you're stuff, it looks very plain and simple.
I like the one posted and think it would sell

The one pictured in the advert looks like a deluxe rosewood model

Good idea! Since I'm not a dealer, then this gives me the perfect excuse to stay away from this stuff completely.

Remember shabby chic? I say any fad that keeps the furniture in the main house rather than demoted to garage,basement, barn is a good thing because once it gets demoted out of the main house, it's chances of survival drop like a rock. Several years ago at auction, i saw this chest slathered in white paint marketed as shabby chic, turned out to be an 18th century carved chest that someone bought for chump change.
-
It does make you wonder what the owner would have gotten for it had it NOT been slathered in "distressed" white paint.
-
ghopper, the thing to me is, if it had been demoted to the barn for instance, there's a good chance it wouldn't be around to sell at all.
-
I could have filled a room with the amount of white paint I had to take off furniture when I had my shop !! I had many customers that bought furniture and brought it to me to restore !! Hours and hours of picking white paint out of carvings and from around turnings with a scalpel !! Thanks heavens I worked for a doctor and got all the tools from the packs that were not needed !! Couldn`t re-sterilize and they were normally trashed !! But they were perfect for what I needed !!
To this day I hate white paint on anything !!
