When you do a search online for Antique Furniture, one of the first listings that pop up is a Wikipedia article stating just the general basics of how antique furniture is valued. These criteria include how the monetary value of a piece of antique furniture correlates to its age, rarity, and condition.
What exactly does this mean for a consumer looking to add antique decor to a house? The factors vary. While they are highly collectible, acquiring Antique Furniture began as a means to express one’s status, and to this day is still an effective means to do so.

These days, most furniture stores will offer to sell antiques right alongside their brand new factory-direct couches, tables, chairs and cabinets. In these situations, caveat emptor is the rule. Unless you already happen to be a connoisseur of all things antique, or can bring one with you, it is recommended that you keep your eye open for a couple of things. If you want a real antique, see if you can find some sort of maker’s mark. Once locating this, take note of a manufacture date. Take this information to a knowledgeable source to see if they have any more information for you concerning the piece of furniture you have your eye on. Something you can do on your own is to look for imperfections in the restoration of the article you are thinking about purchasing. Uneven finishes, mottle veneer, and other indicators that it was a rushed job are all signs that you should either move on, or expect to spend some extra money fixing it up.
Those looking specifically for Antique Furniture will have much better luck going to an actual antiques furniture store.

You also will be hard pressed to find a better selection of antique furniture than at a store that actually specializes in what you’re looking for.
