My mother puchased this sofa in a thrift store in Balitimore Maryland about 36 years ago. Later while having it reupholstered, she found out that the same person she hired to do the work for her had previously serviced her sofa 25-30 yrs earlier. He stated that it was an antique when he serviced it back then. aprox (1942-1947) Also a family friend stated that she saw a sofa identical to this one in the King's Palace in Liberia Africa 30yrs prior. aprox (1945)
this is Berkey & Gay furniture piece that was given to me and I'd like to find out a little more about it. There is a goal seal on the right inside of the top drawer. Also the stamp 2771 on the back of the center silverware drawer. Lovely details on the legs
This is a full bedroom set consisting of a dresser, chest, mirror above the dresser, 2 nightstands, stand alone table, small mirror and headboard. All are Berkey and Gay and have the Berkey and Gay label in the drawers. They are in good condition and have the original handles (Of note some of the pictures show some greyish marks on the furniture, these are artifacts of the picture and scanning and not on the furniture). All are in the Art Deco style. Due to the space limitations on this site, I am only able to provide pictures of the dresser, chest, night stand and mirror, however the remaining pieces are similar and from the same set. I am interested in help with appraising the value of this set. Thank you.
