What is the value of Mersman furniture?

I have several pieces of Mersman furniture that I would like to sell.

You could maybe consider passing the pieces of Mersman furniture that you have to family members since the current economy isn't helping the furniture or antique market at all. Something to consider if you can't get the price that you believe your furniture is valued at.

The era it was made counts, too, and the design. Mersman was producing for over 50 years, the mid-century stuff is doing nicely at auction these days. add a comment

I live in Denver and purchased a 2-tier Mersman 7008 corner table. Mahogany finish, solid wood, removeable legs. The tier sits on several finials; outside finials curve to a scroll, w/carving on the front center leg and front facing table edges. How do I find it's value? Thank you, D add a comment

I live in Denver and antique furniture prices are higher here than they are in the South. A solid walnut side table with a drawer goes for between $199 and $250 depending on the condition. The region you live in can affect pricing in addition to age of the item.

It really depends on the age. Recently, a Mersman end table sold for $100 at auction. It was from the late 60s/early 70s.

Mersman was a mid priced table company. When I was a buyer for a large furniture chain between 1977 and 1983, Mersman tables retailed mostly between $99 and $199.

A lot is going to depend on the age and condition of the piece. I saw an end table in an auction for $27. 00 and a pair of side tables going for $299. 00. There are some excellent books on antique furniture which can give you much better ideas.

Mersman produced over 30 million pieces of furniture so they are not worth very much. Google Mersman and read the article on Antique Web.
