Sharpstown Estate: Victorian Parlor Table, Art Deco Sideboard, and Piano

Victorian through mid-century furnishings

This Sharpstown house mixes Victorian, Federal, Art Deco, and mid-century modern furniture. Named pieces include a Victorian spool-turned parlor table, an antique Federal-style mahogany side table, an Art Deco waterfall sideboard, a hand-painted western checkerboard game table, a vintage children's oak roll-top desk, a vintage yellow plush teddy-bear children's chair, a Regency Legacy Series executive desk, and a mid-century modern teak etagere bookcase. A Baldwin Acrosonic console piano and a vintage Kay K-24 jumbo archtop acoustic guitar are with the music pieces. Lighting includes an Art Deco torchiere floor lamp.

Art, collectibles, and household goods

Art in the house includes antique engravings after Philips Wouwerman and Francesco Zuccarelli, R. Duncan still-life oil paintings, and a Vincent van Gogh print. Decorative finds include vintage Rubens Originals nursery figurines, a HOMCO goddess wall plaque, vintage comic books, a Cohiba Esplendidos cigar-box chess set, and a Big Jackpot slot-machine bank. A Maytag washer and dryer set is among the appliances.

Parking, payment, and sale rules

Do not park in the driveway unless you are removing furniture. Bring a suitable vehicle and your own help for large or heavy items. Employees do not load large pieces. Cash, credit cards, and Apple Pay are accepted.

Only the company's sold stickers count. If you want to hold a piece, ask an associate for a sticker; once it is on the item you are obligated to buy it. Do not gather items to decide later, because that pulls them out of the sale. If you pick something up and then decide against it, put it back where you found it or hand it to an employee. If you break or damage an item, you are responsible for its cost.

Examine everything closely before you pay. Goods are sold as-is, with no refunds. Electronics are not guaranteed to work, so test them before you buy. Prices are not negotiable on the first day. Discounts come later in the sale, after that first day. Large purchases must be removed by two hours before closing on the last day unless you have arranged something else in advance.

Doors open at the published time, not before. The company does not honor written sign-up lists. Staff bring numbers the day of the sale, about one hour before opening. There are no presales, and prices are not given ahead of time. Anyone caught stealing will be reported to the police. Do not bring food or drinks into the house, and do not leave trash on the front porch.
