Chippendale Antique Secretary
March17
If you like modern furniture, then this will not be up your alley. A Nicholas Brown antique secretary that was originally made around 1760 was sold at Christie’s auction house for $12,100,000. This is the highest price ever paid at auction for a piece of American furniture.
If you can find a Chippendale antique secretary originally made by the Goddard-Townsend family of cabinet-makers than you probably could make just as much money. It is believed that no more than seven were made.
You can do it yourself which will save you labor costs that can add 45 percent of the total cost
Great value and contribution to owner. Most of the time antique value is determined by supply and demand on the market.
