This is stunning!! Love it!! The value depends on where you are located.
I have seen the wardrobes sell as low as $50 and has high as $900. Dressers $25-$800.
The market for these is very regional and so I would suggest one of two things...one start high and take best offer or ask around to local vintage shops who specialize in furniture and see what it would cost to buy the pieces in their shop. That is retail and you could expect as a private seller to get at least half if not less than that.
There are a lot of things that factor into value also--any damage and smells (especially smells) will drop the value significantly.
Post back how your sale goes!! Best wishes for a low supply, high demand area and high number sale!!
If you have a matching set the armoire and dresser you can start off by asking around $600 for the set. I am not sure who has made these two pieces because you have not given us a company name. Selling these online is very difficult and the best options you have is to try and sell these locally in your area or find an antique shop near you that is willing to sell these for you. Just keep in mind the value of your item is determined by one that has sold recently, which I can not find one or the area you are living in.
This is a very unique piece. It looks like it has tiger wood inlay in the center , and is in great shape, and looks to be a real solid Armoire. The market is selling Armoires from $200 to in the $1000's. - www.chairish.com/
It is difficult to give even a rough estimate of the value of your furniture without much better pictures and more information.
I'm sorry but the picture has a glare and shows only part of the wardrobe. Any quotes presented on value are just going to be for the normal value of old wood furniture.
If you want more definitive value figures you will have to present at least some of the following information and pictures.
I'm only give these suggestions because you may have two valuable items but the way we're seeing the item no one can tell.
Pictures:
Front and back pictures of both the wardrobe and dresser - this means pictures that show the complete item with space showing around the items so the complete piece can be seen - but still as close up as possible. Try to use lighting that does not present a glare.
Full picture of wardrobe with doors open.
Same type of pictures of one side of each piece.
Close up pictures of anything that is outstanding - such as trim or drawer pulls.
Full picture of outside of drawer showing how it is put together as this helps to determine age.
Pictures of any marks/numbering/names that may be found on back of pieces or inside or bottom of drawers.
You do not have to post this information on this site but please post it on the following sites so you can find out what you really have as I have seen similar items sell for large sums of money. Of course, not seeing better pictures, I could be entirely wrong in my thinking.
The following sites are free but you may have to join before posting. If you do not try for more information then you may never know for sure what type of items you have.
