NEW YORK—A one-of-a-kind,1930’s Steinway grand piano, with hand carved motifs, tag price $45,000, sits in the window at Chatsworth Auction Rooms and Furniture Studios. The magnificent piano is tightly walled in by an odd assortment of furniture and house wares.

The crowded style, filled with incredible finds that range from the 1980’s to the 1700’s, is a signature of Chatsworth, the largest buyer and seller of estate furniture, antiques, quality used furniture and accessories in Westchester County.

“We throw it all in and it all gets mixed together, but that’s what makes it fun,” says the owner Sam Lightbody III, whose grandfather Sam Lightbody I started a moving and storage business that would later evolve into Chatsworth.

Located in the lovely town of Mamaroneck, the five-level, 20,000 square ft. showroom is a 30-40 minute drive from New York City, or a 35 train ride on the Metro North from Grand Central.

Standing on the street looking in at the two small front windows of Chatsworth, it’s impossible to tell what an astoundingly large and impressive inventory of home furnishings and art is inside.
