Hinsdale House Sale

The Courtyard in Hinsdale, IL is trying something new.  It will be the first and only time that we are going to do this.  The sale will take place on Friday, Feb. 24th from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm and Saturday, Feb. 25th from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm.  The home, located at 46 S. County Line Road has been sold and the current resident will vacate the house very soon.  We were approached to do a sale of items that are not going to the new residence with 50% of the proceeds going to Wellness House which is our charity.  

The home is of historical significance built by R. Harold Zook in 1928.  There have been only 3 owners in that time including the last couple who lived there for 53 years.  It has all the original floors, built in cabinets, hardware, slate roof, beamed ceilings and paneling.  

On the 1st floor there will be furniture including a dining room table and chairs, a sectional sofa, chairs, ottomans, art work, tables, a grand piano and miscellaneous items.  The 2nd floor will have a large collection of majolica and many other decorative items.  Payment can be made with cash, credit cards and checks.  ALL items must be removed from the premises by 1:00 pm Saturday afternoon.  We will not have any moving help available or people who can help you take items to your vehicle.

In the basement will be garage sale items and we can accept only cash or checks for those things.

We will post more photos available as we receive them from the consigner.  Please mark your calendars and come early to get the items that you are looking for.  We will pass out numbers as you arrive and will let in a certain number of people at a time.  There is no parking on County Line Road so you will need to park on First Street.  Looking forward to seeing you there!  Remember, all the proceeds will go to Wellness House.

Dining room tables

It's September and school is back in session so that means that the holidays are rapidly approaching.  Did you know there are only 15 more Fridays until Christmas?  How scary is that?  To help get you ready for Halloween (you need a nice table to brew your Witches Potion), Thanksgiving (you will have to provide room for all your family in-laws, out-laws, whatever) and then Christmas (you know Santa needs a place to sit down and enjoy his cookies and milk) so why not come to The Courtyard where we always receive lovely pieces of furniture and now is no exception.  We currently have an abundance of dining room tables some with chairs and some without.  Some are very formal and high-end while others are more casual.  We have Queen Anne and Chippendale, Kittinger, Thomasville and Pottery Barn to name a few.  We have tables with a large rectangular glass top and a round 60" cement top, a 44" banded mahogany top, some have leaves others don't.  At least 9 of these tables are located in our storage facility and have not yet been in the shop.  There are 5 more in the shop waiting to find a new home so that others can be brought in.

Below are a few showing more detail.  This is a banded mahogany Thomasville table with 8 chairs (2 arm, 6 side) and is priced at $1,500.

We also have a long rectangular table that includes 9 chairs shown in the left and middle photo, priced at $995 "As Is"  The photo on the right is of a Pottery Barn table with a drawer and 6 chairs.  It is currently in the shop and priced at $895 however on Wednesday, September 3, it will go down to $760.75, the automatic reduction of 15% that occurs when any item has been in the shop for a period of 30 days.
