Vintage Wooden Shaving Stand Appraisal
Category: Vintage Furniture
Description
A wooden shaving stand, estimated to be over 60 years old, presented as a restoration project or for resale. It features an original tilting mirror, two shelves for display or storage, a lower cubby for grooming tools, and a sturdy tripod base. The stand has a vintage design and craftsmanship but is in fair overall condition, showing signs of age and wear, and requires TLC such as refinishing, tightening, or minor repairs.
Appraisal Report
The appraised value of $40 - $90 reflects the item's current 'as-is' condition as a vintage wooden shaving stand (60+ years old) requiring restoration. Its value is derived from its potential after refurbishment, appealing to DIY enthusiasts or resellers. Factors influencing this valuation include its age, original features (tilting mirror, tripod base, shelving), and vintage design. However, its 'fair' condition, with visible wear and tear and the need for repairs/refinishing, significantly tempers its current market price. The stand has good structural bones, but the cost and effort for restoration are considered in this appraisal. A fully restored piece would command a higher value.
