Really, really old furniture - what to do with it?
#1
I have a bed frame, dresser and bureau that has been handed down through the family. It's southwestern in origination, and somewhere around 300-400 years old. It's intricately hand carved. It's not in perfect shape. Mirrors were added to the bureau at some point, and they're old enough that they're purple now. Someone also painted them, but my mom had stripped and restrained two of the items.

I know just because it's old doesn't mean it's worth anything. We don't have much space or use for it anymore. The dresser is pretty big, and takes up a large spot in the garage that we would like to repurpose.

Locally the feedback we've received is that it's not the type of stuff people are into right now. That said, one antique consignment shop says they'd love to have just the bureau, which is more of a desk. Feels like a shame to split it up.

Any suggestions on the best course of action for this furniture?
