French hutch

I have the opportunity to purchase this French piece from estate sale for $200. All I have is photo. No info behind it. Go for it????

 

If in good condition and for yourself, it is a good price. If looking for resale, you might need to reconsider. Age and quality are determining factors and I can tell neither from this picture.

 

I know still not much better but she did send more photos.

 

It is a beautiful piece from what I can see in pictures. The problem with pieces like this is unless it's in perfect condition I wouldn't do it. A lot of times do to poor weather condition to hot of to cold it makes the design pieces brittle if you even breath on it wrong pieces can chip off.

 

Thank you! It’s really speaking to me. I just don’t want my emotions to lead me into spending $200 on junk. Cause I’ve spent some money on junk a time or two.

 

hands off. first red flag - estate sale. copies of old styles; only slutty phone pics without details; no inside pics.
second red flag - if curved glass is damaged it will cost an arm and a leg to get well-fitting new-ones.

 

Where I hail from a hutch is something we keep rabbits in.

 

why not ? hey, that's French animal protection. the bunnies live in their palaces till the end comes around corner.

 

Only photos because I was at work. This person was a collector. I’m going to look in person this morning. Thank you for the advice!

 

Emotion should be a part of every satisfying purchase, unless it overwhelms. Hey, this stuff is supposed to make us happy, right? I hope the piece continues to speak to you, especially after you see it. Can't go too far wrong for $200, unless, as was mentioned above, you're in it for the resale.

 

LOL @ Fid. “slutty phone pictures”

 

why ? too British ?

 

Nah, just struck me funny!
