How to Find the Value of Antique Furniture

The easiest way to try to determine the value of an antique piece of furniture is to do research about antique furniture.  Learn to tell the difference between Queen Anne and Tudor.  In your research you will learn to tell the difference between antique European furniture and antique furniture from America.  You will also learn the eras in which the pieces come from and therefore you will be able to determine the age of the piece.  But, this kind of information is only half the battle.  Sometimes reproductions can look so authentic that you will need a trained eye to tell the difference.  But, don’t worry; there are a few little tricks that every good antique furniture hunter should know if they are going to find a bargain.
