Nathan furniture .

Bought 3 pieces of Nathan furniture about 25 years ago for a four figure sum . Took me 4 years of interest free credit to pay it off .
A couple of years ago much to my disgust my wife gave 2 pieces away to charity .
Today on antigues roadtrip they auctioned my other piece off .
It made one pound . The lowest bid ever on the show .

    That's the way with furniture I'm afraid. A good quality ding chair will cost a few hundred new, second hand it's more or less worthless.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    Although Mid century bucks that trend, very popular with the younger ones up here.

    Sad, but true that the cheapest place for firewood is brown furniture auctions.  I've seen tables with 8 chairs which would have cost thousands when new go for £10.
