How can you tell if old furniture is valuable?
To tell if old furniture is valuable, look for tags, labels and stamps that indicate a maker. Then, use trusted online resources to learn more about who produced the furniture and the current demand for similar pieces. Many online platforms will allow you to see how much similar pieces have sold for in the past, but keep in mind that the condition of your furniture will impact how much it is worth. Alternatively, you can have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer evaluate your furniture and provide you with an estimated value.
