American of Martinsville Mid-Century Bedroom Set

By matthewbellavia, 21 May, 2022
Description

My grandmother recently passed away and we are hoping to put her house in the market soon. I am selling/donating all of her furniture, but do not know how much the bedroom set is worth. It is a three-piece set from American of Martinsville purchased sometime in the mid 1900s. The smallest piece (bedside table?) has some cigarette burns and different handles. Otherwise, it appears to be in great condition. The only markings are the brand name printed inside the drawers. Any guidance regarding value or more information on the set and when it was made would be appreciated!

Yes, it's a pretty typical Mid Century set, sadly values for pieces like this are currently weak, much to do with estate clearances glutting a slow market. Comparable suites now sell at auction for under $350.00.
