Nobody Wants Grandma's Dining Set Anymore

Nobody wants the dining set anymore. Antique and vintage furniture prices have collapsed since the early 2000s, and most traditional dining tables, chairs, sideboards and china hutches now sell for a few hundred dollars or less. But eight kinds of dining furniture still sell, some for thousands, and they are hiding in ordinary homes. In this video, Eleanor shows you what "brown furniture" is really worth, why the market crashed, why "Duncan Phyfe" on a dining set means almost nothing, and how to check the underside and the drawers to find the exceptions: Heywood-Wakefield, Paul McCobb Planner Group, Niels Møller teak chairs, genuine early American furniture, Eames fiberglass chairs, Brazilian rosewood, Gustav Stickley, and Broyhill Brasilia. 📖 The Whole-House Appraisal System: 214 entries across 9 rooms, every mark, every test, and real sold prices. https://eleanorhayes.netlify.app/ This is general guidance, not a formal appraisal. #antiquefurniture #brownfurniture #midcenturymodern #estatesale #diningroom #antiques #downsizing
