    Hello! I'm hoping someone can help me determine the value of a 6-piece Davis Cabinet Company Collectors Oak collection. Based on the labels, I believe these were manufactured in 1945.
    Thanks so much for any help!

    I'm thinking no value, unless you r willing to break up the set and sell the items individually ....

    Is there any indication that what you have labeled a vanity desk had a mirror attached to the back? Most vanities don't look so much like a writing desk as this one does.

    Thanks for the information. How would I go about valuing them individually? And why wouldn't a set be desirable?

    The mirror may go with the vanity desk for sure.

    or maybe it's a writing desk? I'm not sure. This piece didn't have the stamp on the back that said what it was.

    I would call it a desk and not a vanity. The mirror should hang above the dresser I would think.

    ok...
    in my opinion.....
    this is what we call brown furniture....which at present....is not selling well.
    it's not antique......or mid century modern.... which still has a certain following.
    I can see a couple wanting bed side tables...or a desk...or a mirror, but there is nothing in my experience to suggest that there is anyone out there looking for a full set of this type of furniture.......and who's got the room for it ???

    I would say that at this point this is basically just used furniture. To expand upon Komo's point, unfortunately this will be a hard sell whether individually or as a set.

    Here in my semi-rural Midwest loaction..... Few people want full-size beds so basically, nil on it. Maybe $25.00, give or take, if you can find the right person. Your chest, under $100.00. Desk: Under $75.00, Nightstands: Under $50.00 for pair, Bench: $25.00 give or take, Mirror: $15.00 give or take. Prices are fairly optimistic for an individual seller here so be prepared to bargain. You might get more in a retail shop and a lot less at auction. You might do better in or near a big city. More formal brown furniture also seems to do better in the old South. All this assumes very good condition. Any damage will plummet value.

    I know this is late but I’m refinishing my vanity and I haven’t been able to find anyone else who has a similar or the same one. I have that same desk/vanity and at one point when it was my moms it had the hardware to attach a mirror and I still have the mirror just not the hardware but I’m still unsure if it’s a vanity or desk and they just bought a mirror to go with it, it’s been passed down through my family so I’m not 100%

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Welcome to Antiquers, @Bella-121 ! Unfortunately the person who did the original post in this thread was new here at the time, probably just came by the ask the one question, and hasn't been back since August 2022.

    You should probably start a new discussion thread with pictures of the piece that you own. The original post had groups of photos together, and they are not very large. I think your question is whether that piece is a vanity or a desk. So, ask that question when you do post.
