Re: Eastlake style secretary
Lovely piece of furniture, dates to about 1880, sadly demand for Victorian furniture has dropped considerably since the 1990's. We used to sell comparable examples for over $3500.00, but have trouble getting much over $2500.00 for one now.
Re: Eastlake style secretary
Lovejoy, thanks for the comment. What would be antique store's profit margin on piece like that? I'll be posting few more pieces, considering to sell.
Re: Eastlake style secretary
Depends on the individual stores overhead and volume, but would have to be 30% -50% to keep the doors open.
