Looks like I got a steal... bought with my house for $1500 total with the Travis Court series-2 twin beds, dresser, vanity w/ mirror, and stool, buffet with mirror, 6 chairs and the dining table with leaf (the table had never actually been eaten on as the family had this beautiful case/cover made for it)... yay 🎉
Thank you for the informative video! I recently bought a used end table and found out it is a Drexel Heritage piece that had been painted a white rustic farmhouse look. It is beautiful and such good quality!
Thank you so much for YOUR time. I wonder what happened to the furniture business that they had to close up shop after all those years of making such beautiful furniture. What are people buying instead? Ikea?
Hi Lois. Thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately, many American furniture companies were forced to compete with imports that were so much cheaper from overseas. I think this, and a generally shrinking middle class made manufacturing and selling furniture extremely difficult for these companies, sadly. But we can still enjoy their pieces because they generally last for generations. Thank you for watching!
I found a 1980s Drexler Heritage Black Chinoiserie black lacquer cabinet at an antique store with a gold Habersham sticker with black fonts on the right door. I checked the back of the cabinet and its painted black but a section of look like a label was taken off??
9:36 This was fascinating. I had often wondered about the history of the name changes by the company. About 40 years ago, I I traveled to North Carolina for the express purpose of buying bedroom and dining room furniture for my home. The mahogany pieces I bought were in the Heirloom collection by Heritage. It is remarkable how well these pieces have stood the test of time. I am now looking for a nightstand from that collection. I believe there may have been two almost identical nightstands in the collection but one is slightly taller than the other. Where one is 24 inches tall the other is 25 1/2 or 26 inches tall. I am looking for the taller one. In order to avoid significant freight charges, I am trying to find this in the Northeast Florida area. Any thoughts? Again, thank you for taking the time to make this video. I watched every minute of it and enjoyed it all!
Hello! I have a Drexel Heritage side table. The numbers on the bottom (two lines) are 861 - E (first line) and 12 - 57 (second line). I'm trying to figure out how to read these - meaning any indication of the year of production, product line, etc. This is a travertine-topped, walnut side table. Any insight you are able to provide on how to read these numbers, would be very much appreciated. Thank you!
I'm guessing by the style stated and numbers possibly 1960 thru 1970 since they made lines for quite a few years years ago..if in perfect condition maybe $300 since u have one and not a pair..minus commission on a selling site that's reputable...at auction maybe $5 to $40...retail with flaws maybe $25 to$75 hope that helps
Hi, thank you for this information. I have a beautiful Drexel double bow front dresser (10 drawers) and would love to know more about it but can't find any info on it. The serial number on the back is 2302-2 MARY 95 (then maybe a 3rd number but can't tell). It's a beautiful, sturdy piece. They really crafted them well! I just love it.
Enjoy your dresser, not much to say about it that you didn't really already say! Great piece of well built wood furniture and. Today it would cost thousands to replicate.
Make sure when yoy shine a light in front you can see a pin in the middle od the lock, otherwise you would need to rip off the back of the cabinet to remove the lock from the inside and replace it all, work and a cost of anout $50 today, everything is up so high.... but the key sets should work no problem, no cheaper way sorry....keys have shot up
I have a corner cabinet with the coding 352-3S and description "New Travis Court Collection by Drexel 1251". Looking for more information on this piece.
I have a couple pieces of Drexel bedroom furniture that I acquired from my aunt when she passed. I believe I have the 'Biscayne' 8 drawer dresser (Mirror got broken during a move), a chest of drawers that has 3 long drawers at the bottom with 2 cabinets on the top. On the right side of the cabinet doors is a split level shelf, and on the left side it has 3 smaller drawers inside. I haven't been able to find this piece online anywhere. The only numbers I could find on the back were 2480 - 2 .854. I'm guessing the 854 represents it was manufactured in August of 1954. I also have a nightstand and a end table. All of it must be from the 50's and it's in really good shape. I've been thinking about selling but I'm not sure what price to ask for it. I'm not trying to get rich but I'm also not trying to short myself. Any suggestions?
I have just bought a Drexel tall shelf as it was listed. It is a bookcase, from a second furniture shop. Did not realise how valuable it was until I sent a picture of it to my friend and the price of £70 I paid. She said being second hand it was overpriced so out of curiosity I did some research and found I came across a gem. It also has the markings at the back with the name Drexel. So happy I have it now, the vendor normally sells them for £150 but needed to get rid of the items in the holdings as it was costing hime money to rent the holdings. The only way I would sell it would be if I do not have a place bigger enough to house it but I doubt it it is 197 H, 76W, 34D (cm). Just evaluates my pantry. Great video! Old is definetly better in my opinion.
Thank you for the info . Would you be willing to tell me more information on a 9 drawer dresser with a trifold mirror marked 212-130-1 french accent by drexel 1263
Excellent, informative video. Thank you for producing it. I just acquired a set of night stands stamped 210-620-1 and 462 on the back. Also French Accent by Drexel. Inside the drawers it reads by Drexel Reg Trade Mark. Could you possibly tell me what year they were manufactured? Thank you. Cate in Manitowoc, Wisconsin
Hi! In 1988 I purchased a Drexel Heritage,Cherry, Queen Anne (Carlton) table with 2 leafs,4 side chairs and 2 arm chairs. I’ve taken very good care of it, so it’s in great condition. I was interested in selling it, and was wondering if you have any thoughts about that particular design, and if there’s even a market for it? I would appreciate any input you have.
Hi Roz. I do think there is a market for gently used Drexel Heritage Dining sets. Queen Anne is a classic, but it may sell to someone of traditional taste (therefore a buyer older than 30). I would say if it is in "like new" condition, you could offer it for sale anywhere from $400 to $1200. Certainly it depends on where you offer it, but many of my clients have had good luck with Facebook Marketplace. Best of luck and thank you for watching!
We have a butler's table (?) (shown at the 2:07 minute mark of this presentation) with serial numbers 624862 and 60562 on the back. When was it built and what is it worth? Thank you.
Nice video, I have a couple of Drexel pieces, china cabinet and buffet server I'm looking to make over, since I can't seem to find it's value on line, I'm wondering if its value would be lost if altered? The pieces were given to me in the 90's used, Im guessing maybe made in the 1960's, the finish is redish, thought maybe maple or cherry wood! Just wish I could get some more info on it? Anyway 👍for a nice informative video!
Thank you for this video and information. Any idea why my Drexel dresser has "CUSTOM" in the label on the back? 1171-1 TOURAINE COLLECTION CUSTOM 452 BY DREXEL It is a beautiful piece with its original finish.
Im sorry we dont do appraisals, search on Chairish.com for something similar to see what people are asking. condition is very crutial, sellers always think its in great shape, not to be curt but when selling every little flaw matters.
Hello, thank you for the video. I am trying to find out when a piece of Drexel Heritage Furniture was made. It has a long sticker on the bottom that reads, Drexel Furniture with a number 05767 inspected by a name and Plant 8. Is 67 the year it was made?
My best guess would be yes 67 is probably the year. Quite a bit of furniture was made for at times a decade or more with no real changes.. I have had 1940's Kling furniture that was identical to a 1970's Ethan allen furniture nightstand, in that case Kling was eventually bought by Ethan Aleen.
I just purchased excellent condition Drexel French tormaine furniture at an estate sale. However, even though the insides of the drawers appear practically unused, they do have somewhat of an older generation smell to them if you will. How can I clean and deodorize the inside of the drawers, which are unfinished wood without warping the wood?
Hi Mp, if it smells it is not considered excellent condition? many products are sold on Amazon for drawer stink and sanitizing, most work ok. Hope that helps
We have a Drexel Heritage Leicester desk with hutch, Serial Number 144-912 on the credenza base. It is in good condition. How do we determine the value for resale? Thank you. BobKat
I need help getting the top off of a Drexel Heritage Heirloom china cabinet. Is it one solid piece? Is the top bolted down someplace? It will not go out the doors of house in one piece. Please advice.
I have a Drexel piece and I cannot find serial numbers. Just a stamp on the inside drawer “By Drexel”. It’s a 4 door sideboard. I find many similar, but none that matched the detail on mine. Any suggestions on how to find info on this piece?
Thank you so much for this video. I just purchased a Drexel dresser that I believe is Drexel Heritage Federal Style. Are you able to confirm if it's Federal or something else, or even what year it might have been made? The numbers on the back are: 1615-2S/253
Hi Thank for the video. I have a drexel dresser and mirror. It is labeled 23I6-6 and then below is II/53. So does that mean it was made in 1953? It has curved drawers. Any idea on value?
Probably yes 1953, value guess 50 to 150, like brand new $500 to $750 no flaws clean brass clean drawers no smells..no I between prices,like new or just wholesale
I purchased a beautiful dinning room table that matches my hardwood floors. I'm disappointed to hear that they are out of business. My table is 42" wide and is able to handle a leaf or two. Do you know any way I might be able to find one? Thank you!
I found a Drexel desk at a Habitat for Humanity today for $60. I can't find this desk online to see what the approximate value would be. Not in perfect shape but still a nice piece. I can't figure out how to attach pictures though.
Hi Robin, enjoy your find for sure. Value of vintage furniture is in the condition and look, any damage at all and its really worth anywhere from $25 to $200 depending on the piece and brand. To have any higher value it would need to be prestine or refinished. Hope that helps
Thank you. It is still in good shape and has a leather inlay on the top, but may have some slight water staining on the left side of the top. . For $60, if I can get $120, I'm still ahead. Thanks again for responding
I have a drexel country estate secretary that I can't seem to find anywhere the stamp on back is 191-600-2 also there is a 6 68 stamp as well. Can you tell me the value or where can I send pictures for you to see. thanks
Hi, i have a drexel china cabinet and i cannot find anything about it. Is there anyway you can help me with this? Id be more than happy to send you images if it would help.
Hello, thank you for all this great information. I have a heritage end table and would like to know it value. Do you have an email where I can send you a picture of the end table?
sorry we dont do appraisals, the value is in the condition and the look and your ability to sell and deliver the item, a small side table in used condition i would look to buy at auction for $5 to $50 and spend about $60 to $200 to refinish, then lose about 20 to 30 percent selling it online due to commissions marketing costs and our store, thats why for instance we do not do any consignments. hope that helps , also selling just one piece is alot harder than having hundreds for sale which casts a bigger net.
I have catalogs but catalogs usually do not include price lists as furniture stores markup what they can. You need a price list which at times can be found on ebay for different years, Drexel made many lines of furniture though. Passages was popular and today you will see high prices but i wouldnt consider those as a guide and unless you a proffesional seller since prices factor or back in many costs. The last set of passages at an auction with many resellers shopping went for about $1200 to $1600 used in almost immacualte condition. An insurance appraisal type estimate i would think would be about $3500 for a complete set. A lone wolf resell price would be about the same as the auction price but may take some time to sell and arrange delivery which would run about $600 to $1200. hope that helps.
if its just a part then i would put it on ebay for $20 and see if someone needs it, if its the whole desk in like new condition then maybe $600 to $700 if ruff then maybe $100 to $200
I have a Drexel bookshelf. And I have the serial number where Do I type in the serial number to find out the value I can't find any websites that will let me do that
The value is in the condition and your ability to sell it.. a rough estimate is if I'm like new condition for a large shelf about $700..in rough shape or if your shelf is actually a TV or media cabinet the value is negligible at auction
Hello, can you provide more info about the wishmaker group by Drexel line? I just purchased a dining table and chair set and trying to find out the age of this piece.
We call it 1940's typical mahogany, was very much made by most furniture companies in the 1940's and 1950's. It is mahogany veneers on top of mahogany . Sadly today many pieces like it are called painters as they get painted modern colors.. Look good refinished but are at the lower end of resale value at the moment.
Hi there I purchased a twin size Drexel bed at Habitat for Humanity in Western NC. It has a serial number 403-4 and says PINE along with 453 What year do you believe this was made in? Is it vintage?
Hi Stephanie, you bed is used so yes its vintage. Pine is not always very desirable in furniture. The value would be in the condition, like new with absolutely no flaws or marks with nice clean hardwood slats for the mattress and ofcourse tight frame we ask about $500 to $600 for the pair. If only one maybe $20 to $100 dpending on condition and look, desirability etc.... pine was used often in the 1970's
I have a Drexel Heritage Vintage Secretary 25 anniversary. I cannot find any pictures of this secretary and I am considering selling. Can you tell me anything about this piece?
Hi Phyllis! I am not sure I know this particular model... However, the value of a vintage Drexel Heritage Secretary desk can range from $400-$1500, depending mostly on condition and finding the right buyer. I know that's a big range, but the condition of your piece really matters. Also, trends really play a part. I would say, try to use words that describe the style ("French Country," "Georgian style,' "Federal Style," "Early American" etc) and try to search that way for your particular desk model. Best of luck! I hope it finds a new home! Thanks for watching!
I have a piece I can't find anything about. It is a china cabinet with a secretary inside. Light color wood, I believe, is stencil??? Of some sort of Asian, French idk. I am wanting to know value
I'm hoping someone can give me a value on a piece I have - It is a kidney shaped desk/bookcase. According to the Drexel markings in is part of the Et Cetera collection. It looks almost brand new with little to no wear or damage that I can see. Any help would be appreciated!
With no wear and in new condition we would ask about $900..remember u will have a sales platform commission to pay and delivery fees which a hundreds of dollars right now....sorry but in the world of vintage furniture there are no almost in new condition or almost no wear...age and condition are everything
The price relies greatly on condition, in great like new condition a Drexel side table that has a great look can be priced at $300 to $500. in ruogh condition at auction maybe $10 to $50.
Hello - I have a round dining room table made by Drexel. There are two 18" wide leaves that go with it and can extend the length of the table. 457-324-37 Table, Estorada by Drexel is the stamp. Decent condition. Limited use. Protective padded covering also included. Any idea what the ballpark price to sell would be?
Condition is everything, if in like new condition with no flaws at all we would price it at about $800, in as found or used in any way condition at auction we would expect to pay $75 to $300 and then spend $$ to refinish it, on a site like facebook marketplace i would ask about $200 to $300 in the condition you described.
Thank you, great video.
thanks for sharing!
Looks like I got a steal... bought with my house for $1500 total with the Travis Court series-2 twin beds, dresser, vanity w/ mirror, and stool, buffet with mirror, 6 chairs and the dining table with leaf (the table had never actually been eaten on as the family had this beautiful case/cover made for it)... yay 🎉
That sounds like a great deal!
Thank you for the informative video! I recently bought a used end table and found out it is a Drexel Heritage piece that had been painted a white rustic farmhouse look. It is beautiful and such good quality!

Hi Lois. Thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately, many American furniture companies were forced to compete with imports that were so much cheaper from overseas.

Hi does anyone know anything about the rounded top oak dry bar with the brass foot rail? I can’t find another one anywhere
I do know they are a very hard sell.
Hello, thank you for all this great information. I have a heritage end table and would like to know it value. Do you have an email where I can send you a picture of the end table?
sorry we dont do appraisals, the value is in the condition and the look and your ability to sell and deliver the item, a small side table in used condition i would look to buy at auction for $5 to $50 and spend about $60 to $200 to refinish, then lose about 20 to 30 percent selling it online due to commissions marketing costs and our store, thats why for instance we do not do any consignments. hope that helps , also selling just one piece is alot harder than having hundreds for sale which casts a bigger net.
I'm having trouble pricing an entire Bedroom set (5 pieces), Passages by Drexel. Do you have a Drexel Catalog?
I have catalogs but catalogs usually do not include price lists as furniture stores markup what they can. You need a price list which at times can be found on ebay for different years, Drexel made many lines of furniture though. Passages was popular and today you will see high prices but i wouldnt consider those as a guide and unless you a proffesional seller since prices factor or back in many costs. The last set of passages at an auction with many resellers shopping went for about $1200 to $1600 used in almost immacualte condition. An insurance appraisal type estimate i would think would be about $3500 for a complete set. A lone wolf resell price would be about the same as the auction price but may take some time to sell and arrange delivery which would run about $600 to $1200. hope that helps.
We have Drexel Triune desk part # 585-102-2, any idea on value?
if its just a part then i would put it on ebay for $20 and see if someone needs it, if its the whole desk in like new condition then maybe $600 to $700 if ruff then maybe $100 to $200
I have a Drexel bookshelf. And I have the serial number where Do I type in the serial number to find out the value I can't find any websites that will let me do that
The value is in the condition and your ability to sell it.. a rough estimate is if I'm like new condition for a large shelf about $700..in rough shape or if your shelf is actually a TV or media cabinet the value is negligible at auction
Hello, can you provide more info about the wishmaker group by Drexel line? I just purchased a dining table and chair set and trying to find out the age of this piece.
We call it 1940's typical mahogany, was very much made by most furniture companies in the 1940's and 1950's. It is mahogany veneers on top of mahogany . Sadly today many pieces like it are called painters as they get painted modern colors.. Look good refinished but are at the lower end of resale value at the moment.
Hi there
I purchased a twin size Drexel bed at Habitat for Humanity in Western NC. It has a serial number 403-4 and says PINE along with 453
What year do you believe this was made in? Is it vintage?
Hi Stephanie, you bed is used so yes its vintage. Pine is not always very desirable in furniture. The value would be in the condition, like new with absolutely no flaws or marks with nice clean hardwood slats for the mattress and ofcourse tight frame we ask about $500 to $600 for the pair. If only one maybe $20 to $100 dpending on condition and look, desirability etc.... pine was used often in the 1970's
I have a Heritage, End table with the serial number 17-171-57 would you be able to tell me anything. And how would I be able to read the date?
My best guess is 1957
@@VintageFurnitureGuideThank you just seen your message...
I have a Drexel Heritage Vintage Secretary 25 anniversary. I cannot find any pictures of this secretary and I am considering selling. Can you tell me anything about this piece?
Hi Phyllis! I am not sure I know this particular model... However, the value of a vintage Drexel Heritage Secretary desk can range from $400-$1500, depending mostly on condition and finding the right buyer. I know that's a big range, but the condition of your piece really matters. Also, trends really play a part. I would say, try to use words that describe the style ("French Country," "Georgian style,' "Federal Style," "Early American" etc) and try to search that way for your particular desk model. Best of luck! I hope it finds a new home! Thanks for watching!
I have a piece I can't find anything about. It is a china cabinet with a secretary inside. Light color wood, I believe, is stencil??? Of some sort of Asian, French idk. I am wanting to know value
sorry no value
I'm hoping someone can give me a value on a piece I have - It is a kidney shaped desk/bookcase. According to the Drexel markings in is part of the Et Cetera collection. It looks almost brand new with little to no wear or damage that I can see. Any help would be appreciated!
With no wear and in new condition we would ask about $900..remember u will have a sales platform commission to pay and delivery fees which a hundreds of dollars right now....sorry but in the world of vintage furniture there are no almost in new condition or almost no wear...age and condition are everything
@@VintageFurnitureGuide thank you so much for the information :)
How to sell in Egypt

I have a mint mid century styled Drexel side table. On the bottom is reads:
881-310-5
END TABLE
BY DREXEL
Any idea of value?
The price relies greatly on condition, in great like new condition a Drexel side table that has a great look can be priced at $300 to $500. in ruogh condition at auction maybe $10 to $50.
Hello - I have a round dining room table made by Drexel. There are two 18" wide leaves that go with it and can extend the length of the table. 457-324-37 Table, Estorada by Drexel is the stamp. Decent condition. Limited use. Protective padded covering also included. Any idea what the ballpark price to sell would be?
Condition is everything, if in like new condition with no flaws at all we would price it at about $800, in as found or used in any way condition at auction we would expect to pay $75 to $300 and then spend $$ to refinish it, on a site like facebook marketplace i would ask about $200 to $300 in the condition you described.
