Featured Conant ball furniture

I would guess this isn't considered an antique, but thought I'd see what info I can get on this. Searching for the maker shows that it can be sought after. Anything you can tell me is appreciated. I have more pictures but am on my phone so it's not easy

Sorry again, conant ball (stupid phone)

 

You can edit that title.

 

1960s 70s maple sideboard.
Nice usable piece.
You should be able to sell it.
Someone will want to paint it.

 

Yep, i am goin with cluttered on this one.

 

Edit: I think I just figured it out, this furniture company has been around since the 1850's so the items we find going for a good price are older pieces while this one is a newer piece.

We were just going to get rid of it for a few buck's on craigslist until we saw the mark in the drawer and googled it, looks like they can go for a pretty penny. I hate to bring up dollar signs on this forum but considering we were just going to basically give it away it would be nice to know. It's big and heavy and hard to find a place, one of the few if not only thing's we are motivated to sell.

Isn't painting for a bargain CL find rather than a collectible?

At any rate it would be nice to know what type of furniture it would be called.

Again sorry I hate to bring up value, I'd rather get information.

 

Some Conant Ball goes for a lot of money because it was designed by a well known mid century designer Russell Wright. But there is a lot of conant ball like this that has no connection to Wright and doesn't have the mid century look so sells like any other solid used furniture (I.e sells cheap)

 

Yes, i don't doubt it, there is an ocean of old furniture out there that is very high quality by today's standards and selling for a song. The problem is, you gotta go hunt it.

Yep, i bet, until the old furniture industry figures out how to market & ship INSTANTLY i predict prices will stay cheap. I have ALWAYS had to arrange shipping, even when buying from retail sellers/dealers, i have always thought that odd.

 

I have a Windsor chair with Conant Ball label under the seat. Does anyone know how I can ascertain the age of the chair? It has full manufacturer label, partial shipping label, and a branded mark as well. I'd appreciate any guidance!
