If anyone can advise the approximate value of these twin beds/headboards, that would be much appreciated. They are in excellent condition and have metal frames and extra long mattresses.
We don’t do values here because there are too many variables, including your location, which we don’t know. That said, there is virtually no market for twin beds any more. You might try $100 and bargain down from there.
According to the internet, the Custom Folio One line was introduced by Henredon in 1963. The pieces in the collection were "18th Century French-inspired." (Below is a 1964 print ad.) Debora
Ditto in my suburban Midwest US area. It seems the only people looking for twin bed(s) nowadays are parents of younger children... and these just wouldn't be their style.
& not meaning to add salt to the wound............. but... while extra long mattress may be a selling point to those over 6'2".... no one wants to use a used mattress anymore... & where would u find a new one ??
I agree in theory,but for all we know those sat in a guest room and were never used ! MAYBE then Id buy a used bed.
While Henredon is great furniture, expensive when new, I agree with the others. Just no real value for twin beds. Would suggest you list them locally, priced in line with other used furniture, and let them go for any reasonable offer.
Welcome to Antiquers, @Svenfran -- Another thing, I was wondering whether extra long twin sheets are easily available for the mattresses. Or, if somebody wanted the frames and headboards without the current mattresses, is that size of mattress available new?
