Henredon Four Centuries

This is a nice piece of furniture. It went for retail for the $1000's in the 1980' or 90's.

Unfortunately, brown furniture has tanked in price.

Even original Chippendale has gone from $150,000 to $25,000. It kills me.

French Provincial furniture has wide swings in value, seemingly coming in and out of fashion about every 30 years since the late 1800's. Currently though it's on a down trend, value dependant on local demand, I've seen this same piece go at auction sell for $150.00- 1500.00, and also not able to hit a reserve of $400.00

I did find a closed auction price of $550 in 2016, the most recent I could find. I agree with another contributor here, "brown furniture" really doesn't bring much these days unless it's mid century modern in style. I guess the younger generation doesn't want what they grew up with. Of course, mid century modern is what I grew up with and I didn't want it in my first home. Hang on to it. It's a classic style, was very expensive when newly purchased and Henredon is a quality maker.
