Own a Piece of Frank Lloyd Wright History for $4,000
Settees from the historic Peter A. Beachy House in Oak Park are up for sale at Divine Consign.
If you have ever wanted to own something from a Frank Lloyd Wright house, now is your chance. Local furniture consignment store Divine Consign recently acquired two custom-built settees from the Peter A. Beachy House in Oak Park, which was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1906.
The pair of Mission Style settees are handmade of quarter-sawn oak and boast an angular shape, unique to the design of the home for which they were built.
"They have quickly become the talking point of our showroom," owner of Divine Consign, Kellie Scott, said about the settees. "People walk in and realize the significance of these pieces. They can't help but sit down and admire them."

The Frank Lloyd Wright housewalk is coming up in a few weeks and the Beachy House is on the lineup this year.
"The housewalk is a don't-miss event for our customers every year, so it's sort of festive that we happened to receive the settees when we did," Scott said.
