Title: Huntley Simmons Antique Bedroom Set - Value?
Post by: Oliviagd on July 13, 2017, 12:16:08 PM

I purchased this 3-piece Huntley Simmons bedroom set four years ago for about $800. I'm moving and the individual taking over my lease is interested in purchasing the set. The furniture is stamped with a medallion stating "Huntley Simmons Furniture" - after some research I discovered The Simmons Co. held ownership of Huntley furniture from 1929-1935, which makes me believe that is approximately when this bedroom set was manufactured.

I've tried to find information to determine the approximate value of the furniture, but there is limited information posted online. If anyone has any knowledge about the estimate value of this bedroom set I would be very appreciative! All of the pieces are in quite good condition, made of a combination of walnut, mahogany, oak, and maple. Pictures posted below. Thank you for any help!

You must be counting the secondary woods !!  Federal style bedroom suite,,time period is right !!  Looks to be in good condition !!  I think $600. to $800 is about right !!

I personally love these older pieces.  Lots of character and made much better than the imported "great price" (cheap) items that so many go for these days.  I even like many of the old pieces that have "faux" patina and chalk painted pieces...there are some beautiful pieces re-lifed out there.  (Not a fan of the fad spray painted pieces because that spray paint ruins the wood where chalk paint can be removed without ruining the piece.)

You would do well getting back what you paid for it!  Kind of like you used it for free!  :)  Best of luck!
