Before You Contact a Antique Furniture Specialist

  • Ask whether the specialist can attribute the piece โ€” a confirmed maker or period significantly affects value.
  • Request their view on the reproduction risk: has the piece been examined in person by a furniture specialist?
  • Compare their recent results for similar period and style โ€” some houses outperform for certain periods.
  • Ask about the buyer demographic: trade buyers (dealers) typically pay less than private collectors.
  • Understand restoration and condition policies: houses that note condition clearly protect both buyer and seller.
