Accurate Description of Item
One 5 Pc. Mid Century Bedroom Furniture Set By Harmony House
Appraiser Remarks
In 1940, Sears introduced the Harmony House brand as an interior-decorating scheme that used four basic colors that could be coordinated with each other. (The year before, Sears catalogs featured "Charm House," a similar program.) Customers were encouraged to use a color wheel that was supplied in the catalog for coordinating colors. This division operated until about 1968.

The blonde finishes were very popular for a brief period during the 1950's, which was revived again in the 1980's. While there is some demand for furniture like this from Decorators looking for that 1950's decor look, demand for it in the general market is modest..

In terms of value for such suites, a lot depends on the condition of the finish, as it is hard to touch up or restore. Comparable suites often sell at auction for less than $350.00.
Estimated Value
$800.00- $1200.00
