Antique Couch! Celebrity owned! Value???
« on: July 18, 2007, 10:51:43 pm »
I am in possession of a couch from the late 1800's- early 1900's. It is rumored to have been owned by D. W. Griffith, the American Film Maker. It is approximately 7'x3'x3' in dimension. Those measurements were taken at the couch's largest points, as it has a curved shape (back and cushion). The color is a neutral cream with a rosy embroidered floral pattern. It is structurally sound, but may need to be re-upholstered (although I don't think it needs to be!) It is complete with a single feather cushion....

Here's the problem- I have no idea what it's worth and I want to sell it- any ideas? suggestions? Let me know asap! Thanks!!!!

Without clear proof of provenance there will be no boost in value for rumour.
Key words when advertising like casting couch may help sell it.
