We Recognize High Value Furnishings

Edward Wormley, Knoll, Harvey Probber,  Hans Wegner, and alike are designer furnishings we are familiar with. 

Often times people don’t realize the treasures in their home. A chair they got from a family member could be discovered to be worth thousands of dollars so when selecting an estate firm for liquidation, make sure you choose someone with a long track record of success and an eye for value.

Edward Wormley
One of the pioneers of modern furnishings

In 1926 Wormley studied at the  Art Institute at Chicago but when he ran out of money he took a job at department store Marshall Fields and Company. When he met the president of Dunbar Furniture Company he was hired to upgrade their line of furniture.  In 1944 Dunbar furniture altered their design sensibility to all modern and it was the best decision they could have made. It launched Wormley to the level of Eames, Bertoia, Knoll, and Nelson.  Wormley died in 1995 in Connecticut and his designs are even more popular and valuable today.
