What affects the value

Age & maker

Signed or attributable pieces from known makers carry the value. Genuine age (dovetails, patina, construction) matters.

Wood & craftsmanship

Solid hardwoods, veneers, and hand joinery beat particleboard reproductions. Marquetry and carving add value.

Condition & originality

Original finish and hardware are prized; heavy restoration or replaced parts reduce value. Structural soundness is a baseline.

Where people commonly sell Antique Furniture

Compare local offers on Facebook Marketplace with broader buyer demand on eBay, or use local classifieds where available. Specialist dealers, auction houses, trade-in services, or collectors may suit rare or category-specific items. Fees, shipping, payment risk, and convenience can change the amount you keep.
