Facebook Marketplace Finds : Raleigh, NC
Happy Friday, friends! I’ve got a new Facebook Marketplace Finds post lined up for you today. Somehow I spaced and skipped July’s post. I knew I missed scrolling last month! This week, I scoured Raleigh (per request from my previous post) and the surrounding cities. While I did find lots of stunning decor, furniture, and lighting- the pricing was all over the place. Therefore you’ll notice some extremely high and very low prices packed into this post… from one end to the other. I wanted to share a good representation of the overall secondhand market there. Being in North Carolina, the custom & designer furniture mecca, you can probably guess there are some seriously high-end gems to uncover. Even if Raleigh isn’t close to you, if you see something you like- be sure to save it. This will help refine your algorithm, which will result in serving you similar items in your local area. You know the drill… click through for the good stuff!
Photo disclaimer… I pulled the following images directly from Facebook Marketplace, so the size and quality of some isn’t the best. Ready to see my finds?
Vintage Rug
This gorgeous Turkish rug is priced to sell at $650 and it’s a nice large size- measuring almost ten feet long! I actually love the way the seller has it styled, layered on top of a natural rug.

Ballard Servers – Set of 3
This listing is for three Ballard Design servers or hutches. They have both open and closed storage, as well as a white marble counter. I’m into the color and think these would be really fun to style in a kitchen or dining room!

Theodore Alexander Console
This is one of the higher-end pieces I previously mentioned, and the price tag certainly reflects that. This incredible Theodore Alexander console is listed for $1,900… but believe me when I say- this piece was probably cost around $5-6k new. The details are impeccable and it has all the bells and whistles!

Rowe Furniture Daybed
Oddly enough, when designing my home office, this was the daybed I initially wanted and specified for the space in my design plan! It’s a custom piece made by Rowe Furniture and is definitely down filled with a kiln dried frame. It looks like it could use some TLC, but with some Folex spot cleaner, a good handheld shampoo unit, and some cushion fluffing- I know it would clean up nicely and look good as new. It’s listed at $500, which is a steal for this piece.

Vintage Fireplace Surround
I thought this fireplace surround was really classic and charming. I love the notched corner details and the dentil moulding beneath the mantel. For $50, this would be a really fun and rewarding project piece!

Gilded Italian Mirror
This heavy gilded mirror has a great scale, was made in Italy by Palladio and has a lovely timeless look. I could see this living in an entryway or hall! It has been listed for over 5 weeks at $500, so I’m willing to bet there is some room for negotiation. I’d try offering $400 and see what happens.

Lee Industries Settee
Another fun designer piece (with terrible image quality, unfortunately)… this settee comes from Lee Industries and is also down filled with a velvet / cotton upholstery blend. It’s very high-end and would be amazing in a hall, entryway, or nestled at the back of a breakfast nook. It’s a fun piece and I love the color- which reminds me of my own sofa! I’d offer $600 and see if the seller negotiates… it’s well worth it.

Ralph Lauren Woven King Bed
How cool is this woven Ralph Lauren bed?! I would totally buy this if I lived closer. It’s amazing and fits a king size bed. Even the rails are woven. Sure, it could use a little touching up and a good clean, but this would be beautiful and unique in a primary suite. For $300, it’s a good find. These kind of pieces never go out of style.

Antique Accent Table
You’ve got to click through and give this accent table a better look. It has some stunning details and is priced at $55! I adore the tabletop shape and the stretcher base. It’s gorgeous and would be ideal for an entryway!

Marble Pedestal Table
This marble bistro table isn’t vintage, but it’s a good staple piece of furniture. Style it at a breakfast nook, on the patio, in a sunroom, or the home office. You can’t go wrong with marble and wrought iron. Someone go grab this for $60… what a deal!

I hope you enjoyed this month’s Facebook Marketplace Finds post! Let me know where you would like me to search next. This series is always really fun for me. I’ve been on the hunt for some things locally, so I’m also hoping this will give my own algorithm a little refresh or boost. Fingers crossed for some good scrolling in the coming weeks. Happy vintage hunting, secondhand shopping, and discovering designer pieces. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend ahead!
