When I talk about estate sales, I try to stick to Austin. But a friendly reader pointed out this estate sale and it might be worth the drive.
A five-piece Broyhill Sculptra bedroom set is for sale in Friendswood (near Houston from what I'm told). The set includes a mid-century Broyhill Sculptra dresser with mirror; a Broyhill Sculptra bed with headboard, rails and footboard; two Broyhill Sculptra night stands and the ever elusive Broyhill Sculptra Manga dresser.
Here are the details:
408 Live Oak Lane,
Friendswood, TX 77546
January 21
It would be a long drive from Tampa to take a look but if I lived nearby....
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it's in really good condition. That definitely might be worth a drive.
ReplyDeleteLooks impressive! I remember my parents having one of these in our old house. It's durable and elegant at the same time.

I hate to give it away cause this is REAL FURNITURE not the stuff ya get now days...Might even keep it if refinish is not to difficult...Email me with Ideas moe19661984@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteHi Moe. As with all vintage furniture, condition and location are two huge factors. A Broyhill Sculptra set in New York will probably sell for a lot more than one in Oklahoma. And anything that needs to be refinished will drop the price a bit. The best way to track down what you might be able to get is to hit your local craigslist, ebay auctions in your area and estate sales.
