NYC and Long Island Mid-Century Modern Furniture Buyer
The Mid-Century Modern furniture market is hot! Furniture from the 50s and 60s is in extremely high demand today. It’s hard to believe that 100-year-old antique wood furniture has become very difficult to sell. Instead, furniture a half-century old is what buyers and designers are looking for. Heavy oversized dark mahogany wood antique furniture is being replaced. The Mid-Century Modern furniture designers used materials such as steel, lucite, glass, and plastic. The popular colors of furniture from the Mid-Century period include light brown, white, black, and just about all colors of the rainbow. Modern furniture is often curved and tends to have a clean look. Many Mid-Century Modern designers come from the United States and Denmark.
It is definitely a seller’s market for (MCM) Mid-Century Modern furniture. Syl-Lee Antiques has many designers and private buyers in New York City waiting for the perfect piece. If you are moving and need to sell some furniture, it would be a great idea to let someone from Syl-Lee Antiques take a look. The furniture we buy includes chairs, stools, benches, settees, sofas, lamps, chandeliers, coffee tables, dining room tables, side tables, wall art, sculptures, and any other Mid-Century decorative items.
