From what I have seen on eBay, this is worth $125 to $150.

I have never seen one quite like this, but I can tell you that in many places this style can sell into the mid hundreds of dollars--but not by a person, but at a store (like an antique/vintage resale shop).

The Mersman pieces were built to last and if in good shape, which it appears yours is, I think you are selling yourself short if you try to sell it on your own. People will undervalue it.

When I search these pieces I use the following terms--Demilune or half round or console table or hall table. I am surprised that an exact match isn't showing up today--tomorrow or even an hour from now there could be bunches--that is just how the market is at the moment.

My suggestion is to talk to a reputable resale shop--especially if you have one that specializes in Mid Century Modern furniture, you can get more value from it. You will have to pay a commission if they consign it for you, but you will still end up better in the long run (at least that is how it works where I am). I have found if I try to sell truly unusual and valuable pieces on Facebook, people will nickel and dime me. You can sell oodles of cheap furniture there--with $25 being a sweet spot, but the good stuff....like your piece...really needs an store (or if you have an auction house you trust) in today's market to get what it is worth.

There are some parts of the country where this style sells the day it goes to the floor of a store and other places where it sits for months on end.

I hope you are in a high demand place because you have a lovely and unusual piece that right now is trending in furniture.

Post back with an update!! Thanks for sharing!
