Facebook Marketplace Finds : Washington DC
I accidentally skipped last month’s Facebook Marketplace Finds post, so it was fun to dive in and comb through marketplace for treasures this week. I missed it! If you live in Washington DC or the surrounding cities, this post is for you! I found so many gorgeous things. I hope you know how lucky you are to be living in the FBMP mecca of beautiful (quality) furniture and home decor. Ha! It really is a gold mine on the east coast. I’m envious. Click through to see what I found!
*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?
Mahogany Corner Storage
This cutie is listed at $125, which feels like a very fair price. Of course I love the tassel detail and how it effectively uses the negative corner space. The curvy shape is also really nice, and it feels like a timeless traditional piece that won’t go out of style.

Iron & Marble Bakers Table
Ok- this is my favorite find from today’s post! The photos are terrible, but you have to click through to see the iron base. I can’t believe this heavy marble pastry table is priced at $315, when these sell for over a thousand dollars. What a steal! Someone grab this thing… if I were closer, I certainly would. If it weren’t so heavy, I’d probably try to arrange shipping. It’s gorgeous!

Box Pleated Skirted Table
Funny that we were JUST talking about these yesterday (read that post here)! This skirted table is super high end and it shows (helllllo Cowtan & Tout fabric)… and the price also reflects that. I do think it’s still a decent deal, and there is probably some room to negotiate. I’d offer $1500 and see what happens, because FBMP is usually not the market for something like this at that price point. You never know!

Hickory Chair Bench Seat Sofa
FREE!! There are two Hickory Chair (very high-end, heirloom quality furniture) pieces and they are both free. Sure- they could use updated upholstery, but I’m telling you- the frames are in fantastic shape and Hickory Chair pieces are built to last forever. This bench seat sofa would be one I keep for a lifetime (with a change of fabric, of course). These moving sale listings are the best because you can usually find more things when you go to pickup an item!

Cane Armchairs
These chairs felt really quirky, unique, and special. We see a lot of cane furniture, but these are so cool and designerly! I love the shape, the rounded back, and the contrast frame. They’re vintage Maitland Smith (another high end brand) and again- the price tag reflects that. $825 for all four chairs doesn’t seem too terrible, but I’m willing to bet you can negotiate! It’s a dealer and they’ve already been listed for two weeks. Can’t you just envision these around a charming breakfast nook?

Marble Pedestal
I’ve had pedestals on the brain lately and this marble beauty has a gorgeous shape and would be the perfect base for a special piece of sculptural art, a plant, or floral arrangement. It’s listed at $200, but has been on the market for three weeks. I’d offer $150 and see if they bite. Oddly enough, there was a very similar pedestal at an estate sale I went to last week, and the price tag was $600. Yikes! I wanted it so badly, but wasn’t going to pay that. This feels like a deal in comparison. Ha!

Duncan Phyfe Demilune Table
You know I love a demilune! This is a stunning, high end Duncan Phyfe table and what a deal- it’s priced at $150 and was just listed. I’m guessing it won’t last long! I love the little brass claw feet. It’s in mint condition, too.

Camel Back Settee
This camel back settee just feels happy! Take it out of the loud context and it could fit into lots of places. My mind went to a sweet kids room. Couldn’t you see this little piece nestled in front of a window or at the foot of a bed? I think the creamsicle color led me to that charming vision. It could also feel more sophisticated and chic with a fabric change. It’s priced to sell at $150! I think this is another one that will go fast.

Marble Top Antique Dresser
For $200, this beautiful marble top antique dresser could be yours. I think this would be perfectly classic if you modified it as a bathroom vanity with a sink. Couldn’t you see that?! It definitely has a timeless aesthetic.

Traditional Side Table
Last, but not least… this traditional side table caught my attention. It’s only $10! I love the delicate leg style and warm wood tone. It looks like an expensive piece and would pair well with any aesthetic.

That concludes this month’s Facebook Finds! I promise to remember to share another one of these next month…. and be sure to let me know which city to scour next in the comment section below. I hope you all have a lovely weekend ahead! Our plan is to cross some projects off the list and get some work done since it has been so hot outside lately. Are you feeling the heat wave where you’re located? I’m not cut out for these insane temperatures. Whew! See you back here on Monday? Cheers to pizza tomorrow and a productive & fun weekend around the corner.
