It’s difficult to get rid of old furniture. Everyone wants new. The old is built better (usually). But when Aunt Fanny passes and no heirs has room or need for an entire house full of furniture, trash it or donate it to the thrift store.
True Fat.
When mom passed a couple years ago.
We ended up giving two couches, a couple chairs, a piano, three bedroom sets and a dining room set all to the new first time home buyer.
Most of it was solid cherry, mahogany and maple from the 1960s.
One of the coolest pieces was the chrome art deco kitchen set from the 1950s. It had vinyl covered chrome metal chairs.
We probably could have sold that to some collector if we got it to NYC
