Antique Questions Forum / Re: 1920's Karpen Furniture Sideboard

Yes I do live in California so antiques here are priced higher than they may be in other states.  I paid a little less than the insurance value.  Still it is an incredible buy for my area and it's not painted white!  Yes jacon4 and KC I agree that this is a piece I bought to live with and love.  No resale for me.  I love antiques and have many pieces that my Mom collected as well.  Many I'd love to know more about too.  I'm sure you will see more posts from me in the future.  Next up will be an open well grandfather clock from the Black Forest region of Germany. 😃

Thank you all for the information and input. I appreciate the history and pictures of comparable pieces.  Unfortunately, I paid a little more than it may be worth but I love it none the less.  I've been looking for one at a decent, California, price for a couple of years.  This has been sitting in an antique mall and was on sale for 50% off of the original price.  It is in excellent condition and has no condition issues at all.  Again thank you all!

Hello all!  I just purchased what was described as a 1920's sideboard.  The manufacturer is Karpen Furniture.  I have searched the Internet and can find nothing on sideboards/buffets made by Karpen.  I'd love to find some history about the piece and the value. It is really a beautiful piece and I am very happy to have it!  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 😊 I am working on an iPad and cannot get the picture to load.  I have included a link to my photobucket, hopefully it works, so you can see it if needed. I apologize for the additional step.
