<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 5391023, member: 10944"]Nice stuff. As for the market I don’t think it’s incredibly strong for furniture in this motif. While the forms don’t necessarily, the artwork on these types of pieces stand out strongly and clash with a lot of modern aesthetics. I see quite a bit of it get passed on or go for low money. I bet you could portably get $150-$350 for the screen and $200-$450 for the bar. It might take a while though for that right person. I could be wrong and would love to know what you do get. I have a similar screen that I’ve had for sale for a long time. I put a “I don’t want to sell it price” on it because it shields from view a dreadful pile of my shipping supplies and framed art piled up like cord wood. I wouldn’t be able be able to easily transport another one home. Even at a high price I’ve had a decent amount of interest with no bites. So there is a market for this stuff but I think it is relatively small. It really doesn’t work with anything other than more Asian furniture and sticks out like a sore thumb. If you were to take the overtly Chinese themed scenes off the pieces the forms themselves would often fit pretty well with modern design. Like the simple side of the screen would work well enough. Most of the screen I’ve seen do have a modest side which is nice. I have the modest side out on mine. I like the hardware on yours![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
