USEFUL TIPS :- When purchasing a piece of antique country furniture, firstly you should fall in love with the piece and it should fulfil your requirements. Secondly you should look for originality because the more original the piece is, the more valuable it will remain.- Good original patina, whether dark or light in colour, a true patina from centuries of polishing cannot be faked. Beware of pieces that are over polished. Some restorers tend to over polish a piece to a too high a gloss. This tends to devalue the piece and hides restorations. Knocks and scratches are all part of its history and only enhance a piece.- Thirdly and most importantly enjoy hunting! How to Buy From usWe accept all major credit cards .
