Featured Thrift store furniture

Agree a (very) interesting thread and educational.

More to show....

This mahogany finish bookcase was in good condition and sturdy as can be. It has a center divider so the individual adjustable shelves were only about 18" long. No chance for sagging there. Was $45.00 and was gone the next day.


This large trunk is reduced to $27.00. Note that the cheap-o coffee table next to it is priced $30.00


Nice walnut Lincoln-style rocker in excellent refinished condition. Only $20.00. I can remember the time when I could get a couple hundred for ones as nice as this.


Secretaries are generally very cheap around here and I don't show them much. I thought this one a notch above what I usually see from the era. Solid walnut, circa 1930. Nicely refinished. Priced at $100.00 but probably well worth it.

 

Thanks for showing. I know those trunks can be a hard sell. But I still think it’s a great looking thing.

 

The flat ones are usually easier, but it's too big for a coffee table. Awesome for a TV holder and off-season blanket storage though.

 

Couple more to show. The Habitat Re-Store was having a sale at 40% off everything. That was on top of color tag discounts, so these were dirt cheap.

Chair is $30.00, but 25% off color discount plus the 40% off. That makes it $13.50. Hate to say that the blond finish does not help this one bit.


This table is priced $50, but 25% off color discount plus the 40% off. That makes it $22.50. Needs some work but very repairable. Used to have a similar table that was in about the same condition when I bought it when I first set up house in the early 80s. Think I paid $150.00 for it and used it for several years. Probably even made a little profit when I sold it later.

 

@verybrad ....I thought u closed your retail spot?

 

Right.... Not currently selling and I didn't buy these. I am still buying/hoarding some when I find things I like that are too cheap to pass up. I bought an English washstand the other day that I have not photographed yet. Snowing here today so I didn't drag it out of the garage to shoot. Will show it when I get a chance.

 

ok, but u buy the stuff on the finds thread!!

where ya gonna keep it all ?

& what's your plan.......if I may be so bold to ask ?

 

Those 1890s farmhouse tables have really gone into the tank. Darnitt.

 

& they're so useful !!

 

I am packing most away for now. Own a 2000 sq. ft. house w/ 2+ car garage that I don't live in. Not entirely full yet..... Lol. I might go back in to retail at some point and/or send things to auction. Otherwise, there will be a heck of a sale when I'm gone.

 

Aha!!!

The Hunt !!!! ..... got it !

 

Some things seen yesterday.

This piece is a bit of an enigma. Looks a like a jelly cupboard but is quite a bit larger and deeper than most. Maybe 42" x 18" x 60" tall. Inside, it has a center divider and adjustable shelves. Someone fitted the left side with 4 newly made drawers to accomodate use as a dresser. Am wondering if this was a linen press?
Priced at $75.00, which seemed pretty reasonable to me.


This reproduction carriage is pretty nice. Priced at $26.00.


Old office chair priced at $15.00.

 

Thanks. I really enjoy this ‘show and tell’ That little carriage is pretty cool. Looks nicely made (but no idea what I would do with it if I had it)

 

I'd prefer the cupboard, not that I have room for it.

 

Finally got around to photographing a couple things I did buy.

This English marble top mahogany washstand is missing its backsplash but was only $20.00.



Nice bridge lamp was only $5.00. Hard to tell but this one is brass. Plated iron parts and solid twisted stem. Already rewired.

 

marble slab worth more than 20......but nice washstand !!!!

 

That lamp is very cool. Really nice buy! Definitely something I would keep.

 

I like that lamp! The washstand is nice too, but rewired and cleaned a bit and I'd put the lamp in the living room.

 

A lot of us unfortunately aren't in the UK, and shipping has gone from $$$ to ridiculou$$$ lately.
