Antique furniture

Valuing antique furniture. Style, wood, and construction.

From Louis XV to Art Deco — have your furniture analysed for period and value.

Recognising furniture

Style tells the story. Construction confirms it.

Antique furniture is valued by style period, wood type, construction technique, and originality. A Louis XV chest of drawers with original hardware tells a different story than a 19th-century reproduction.

AntiqBot analyses your furniture based on photos: style characteristics, wood-type indicators, construction details, and compares with current market data. This gives you an initial period and value estimate.

With furniture, construction is the proof. Machine-cut dovetails tell a different story than hand-made.

Photograph the piece from the front, construction details (drawers, joints), and any maker marks.
