Furniture is sale venue driven.

The above article lists some of the current market conditions. The question should be, what could I expect at auction resale? Or what has the market price range been in the recent past?

And then furniture is "venue driven" where the right combination of two motivated bidders commands a fair market price in a given overall market.

And then furniture is "venue driven" where the right buyer with time walks through an antique market and is willing to meet the tag.

When refinancing was driving the market through home decorators and home staging buys, and the home buyer could refinance equity in a home, the home items (such as furniture) was good. Now it is weak.

My suggestion if you are genuinely interested is to have a professional appraisal performed after reading the article link above.

The real question is this: Is today's market a selling disapointment or a buyers opportunity? I think it is both. It is a 24x7 market conducted internationally. An estimate beyond replacement costs, insurance costs if you will should include a higher market value so you don't have to continually re-appraise for insurance purposes, you essentially over-insure as to garuntee the ability to replace the item or procure an equal or similar item.

And finally items such as these need to be carefully inspected. A photograph of a plate or a set of dishes all things equal are easy to value, a repaired piece of furniture or refinished piece is not by photograph.

Hope this helped.
