This morning, we woke up to a pile of emails asking the two questions above - how much is my Merrow Associates worth and how can I sell it?

It looks like we were caught cold - we have just noticed that Merrow Associates was on this week's Antiques Roadshow.
I know the chrome and wood designs are the most sought after, but the glass and chrome stuff is perhaps the best value when it comes to Merrow Associates. Like this Merrow Associates glass and chrome dining table with six matching chairs, for example.
If you're quite handy or just don't mind a bit of hard work, this Merrow Associates sideboard could prove a real steal.

Not one, not two but three sought-after Merrow Associates display cabinets in a single lot - and available at the Christies 20th Century Decorative Art & Design auction this month.

Design as cool as the actors it is named after - the Delon and Belmondo side tables, courtesy of Andrew Martin.
The names aren't the only 60s things here - both are very similar to classic Merrow Associates designs, mixing a chrome frame with a dark wood top on both the Delon (left) and Belmondo (right).
Sadly, you'll need to shell out around the same for these as you would a vintage Merrow piece, with the Delon selling for £550, while the Belmondo is yours for £495.

If you want an example of the rising price of Merrow Associates furniture, the recent Modern Design auction at Christies has the answer.
The Merrow Associates Extending Dining Table above went for £5,040 - a huge amount for something you could have picked up for well under £1,000 a few years back. On the plus side though, it is an unusual design - I've not seen another rosewood extender on the market.
But I have seen plenty of chrome and glass in a similar style, so if you have one of those, don't expect a similar figure. Check out the details of the table via the link below.
A less obvious Merrow Associates design - but this Merrow Associates sideboard is certainly one of the more stylish.
It's all about the rosewood, which dominates the 6ft exterior, but check out the images of the interior on the eBay site, lots of storage, all done with plenty of style.
If you can do without the chrome hit (although it's here for the detailing), this is as good as sideboards get. Claimed to be a Richard Young design circa 1970 (although that's a stock description for any Merrow item on eBay), it's at a Buy It Now for £2,600 (quite a bit overpriced in our view).
