How to determine what type of furniture is in my parent’s home … and how to price/appraise it …?
My parent’s bought beautiful furniture when they moved in to their first (and only) home in the mid 50s. I believe it is mahogany, but unsure how to tell. I have searched and searched and come up with either Chippendale or Queen Anne …
How do I go about getting someone to come in and appraise the furniture for us to sell it (and not have an appraiser give us an unfair price thinking he/she may buy it). I’m not kidding you … this furniture is over 60 years old and really looks brand new.
There is a dining room suite with a table with two or three leaves, four side chairs and two arm chairs along with a buffet, server/sideboard, and china cabinet. There is a bedroom suite with a tall boy, long dresser, full bed with headboard and footboard and a night stand.
Where do I go to find out what kind of furniture this might be and how to get a fair price/appraisal?
Before getting someone to appraise your parents furniture for you, first things first. You have to know the current prices of furniture these days. That’s because a 60 year old furniture may cost a high value or simply will become cheaper than the new furniture these days depending on what you know about the today’s price of furniture. Have a lot of reference on where you can compare the prices of new ones to your parents 60 year old furniture.
