October 26, 2021

A tall cabinet with curiosities inside.I have this beautiful display cabinet made by Stickley Furniture in 1998. The stock number is 91-2033.

Here is the catalog description: This versatile display cabinet is ready to showcase collectibles for the new century. Its chamfered posts and ebonized accents highlight the beauty of the solid wild black cherry wood. This piece features beveled glass doors and ends, along with adjustable glass shelves with plate grooves and mirrored back. Interior lighting controlled by a dimmer switch.

An American furniture manufacturer, architect & publisher, Gustav Stickley impressed everyone through his designs & articles. When heavy Victorian tables, chairs, and cabinets adorned with ornate quirks were still in trend, a few leading-edge furniture-makers started manufacturing just the reverse sleek, paired-down furniture that shifted the whole attention from regular ornamentation to great craftsmanship. Gustav Stickley used a fuming process to give his furniture a rich deep color found only in examples of furniture centuries old. A conservative coat of shellac or varnish was applied along with a coat of wax to protect these extraordinary pieces.

Since your display cabinet was made in the late 1990s, its price is lower, but be guided by the prices in your area. Delivery of such furniture is expensive.

I have some antique Stickley dining room furniture for sale and am wondering how to go about selling it. I have it listed in Craiglist and even eBay without success.

I have also tried to call several local antique dealers, but without interest. It's a nice set, but not very large.

None of the antique stores offered consignment? I think that's the way I would go if they aren't moving on eBay or Craigslist. They look nice, I would think you could find and antique furniture store that would be happy to try to sell those on consignment.

You might ultimately get more selling them directly to someone but that's only if the right person materializes who values them.
