Antique Furniture Valuation Guide: Key Factors to Consider

If you're curious about how to evaluate antique furniture on your own, our antique furniture valuation guide outlines the key factors that influence the value of antique pieces:

• Age and Provenance: The older the piece, the more likely it is to hold value, especially if it has historical significance or ties to a particular era.
• Craftsmanship and Maker: Furniture crafted by renowned artisans or manufacturers often commands a premium. Look for maker’s marks or identifying signatures that can add value.
• Condition: Original, well-preserved pieces are always more valuable. Minor wear and tear can be acceptable, but excessive damage or non-original repairs can decrease value.
• Material Quality: High-quality woods like mahogany, oak, or walnut increase a piece's worth, particularly if they are solid and in good condition.
• Style and Design: Popular styles from certain periods, such as Georgian or Victorian, are more desirable and fetch higher prices at auction.
