<p>[QUOTE="MyAntiquersName, post: 482950, member: 9098"]Thank you!</p><p>VeryBrad - I have a question. I posted an ID request for what turned out to be a maple post-war sideboard with colonial styling. The sideboard was in excellent condition except for a missing drawer pull. I'm surprised that this mahogany secretary in terrible condition would be expected to bring in even a small amount (less than $100) while the sideboard in such good condition would be expected to bring in less or the same. Is a secretary, in the abstract (?), more valuable than a sideboard, or is the fact that it is mahogany as opposed to maple, or some other factor? In the end it doesn't matter as I will probably have to donate both but I have a number of other pieces and I really enjoy learning about this and appreciate your, and everyone's, expertise and generosity!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
