Despite the fact that the official history of the sofas, cabinets and stools we are used to begins with antiquity, the flourishing of the furniture business is considered to be the 18th century - it was then that the main styles and manufacturing techniques were born, which are still relevant to this day. We all remember very well the protagonist of The Twelve Chairs, Ostap Bender, who is obsessed with the headset of Ippolit Matveyevich's mother-in-law. True, the "furniture" itself was of little interest to the great strategist - he was attracted by the diamonds hidden in one of the chairs. Despite this, we can assure you that some collectors have no less passion for buying antique furniture.

Purchase of antique furniture and old household items

But buying antique furniture, even if you have an obscene amount of money, is a serious and expensive business, requiring, among other things, verification for authenticity. Not that antique furniture is often counterfeited, but rather some sellers have an irresistible desire to pass off their rarities as "chairs from the palace", although they stood in the mansion of some unpleasant aristocrat from a remote province. But the history of the subject is an important thing, but not always the key one. Here's what actually determines the value of antique furniture at the moment:

• • • Age. Ideally, this is furniture from the 19th and early 20th centuries in good condition.
    • Safety. For the assessment, it is very important that the furniture is not damaged by mechanical stress, dampness, etc.
    • Author's work. Of course, handcrafted pieces of antique furniture made by a renowned master are much more expensive.

So, in the XI-XIII centuries in Western Europe, the Romanesque style dominated, which is characterized by large chests that replaced chairs and wardrobes; armchairs, benches and stools with round wooden legs; tables without legs. In the second half of the 10th century, the Gothic style began to develop in France. More graceful and slender products are characteristic of him - fancy painting, gilding or carving adorn such antiques.

Antique furniture dating from the second half of the 15th century belongs to the Renaissance style. The quality of the finish has improved and it has become more varied. Products were already decorated with mosaics, beautiful wooden inlay, soft armchairs appeared. The Baroque made the furnishings more magnificent, majestic and more complex. Carved products were often decorated with griffins, lions, ribbons and intricate curls, Roman motifs. Even more graceful and airy, Rococo style furniture with rounded corners and curved shapes. Such antique furniture, which can be bought quickly and easily on our website, is decorated with carvings in the form of beautiful shells, hence the name of the style.

In the 18th century, classicism was born, characterized by simple and clear proportions in objects, the absence of unnecessary details. As for the decoration, they used antique motifs, mosaics, porcelain and bronze. At the end of the 18th century, the Empire style appeared. Furnishings became ceremonial, decorated with antique figures, usually rectangular, low, massive.

Russian antique furniture belongs to a separate category. She followed the same paths and styles as the European, but always had a distinctive zest, usually associated with Russian architecture. This was reflected in the decoration, which is characterized by geometric lines, carving and ornament with national features.

Examples of evaluating old furniture

An important role is played by the availability of alternative raw materials, the situation on the secondary market, the number of people who want to get rid of furniture and the seasonality.

How to sell expensive used furniture?

How to sell expensive second-hand furniture that cost over 60 thousand rubles per unit? Walls, office cabinets, kitchens and wardrobes can be quickly sold in Moscow - there is a high demand for them in the secondary market, therefore, buying is carried out as a priority. Bedrooms, living room sets, home offices and children's rooms are sold no less actively, and when valued, rare and antique models can be valued even higher than their original cost.

A significant part of people decides to buy exactly used luxury furniture in excellent condition, rather than a new cheap segment.

Examples of evaluating expensive used furniture when buying sets in good condition:

Carpenter's office made of solid walnut and mahogany (bookcase, table and executive chair made of leather) - 550,000 rubles in cash or by transfer at once.

Italian living room with two showcases and a TV cabinet made of solid walnut, carved, bronze. Estimated cost - 150,000 rubles.

Sharpei George Roberto Cavalli bed and ottoman of the same company. The cost is 1,400,000 rubles.

Used Chinese, Italian and German furniture is usually given priority when considering purchase orders. Antiques can be sold through an auction.

The cost of the examination is influenced by holes, scuffs, broken mechanics (hinges, locks, lifting mechanisms for beds), lacquer chips, broken springs or a squeezed backing. But the demand in the market has a decisive effect, therefore the assessment by the intermediary is different from that carried out by bailiffs or independent experts (for example, in the division of property).

Plots to quickly sell furniture

You can quickly sell old furniture yourself using conspiracies. The most effective in this are the ancient spells of the priests from Transylvania.

It is worth remembering that they should be read only with a firm decision to sell furniture and this is very important !!! If the idea is subsequently abandoned, the thing will be mysteriously spoiled, since the spirits seem to transfer it into the ownership of the new owner, instill in his head the desire to find and buy. Accordingly, if he does not buy it, then the connection will remain and may have a negative impact.

So, the first conspiracy to sell any furniture. You need to urinate on a cloth or napkin, wring it out, lightly rub the item you are going to sell, and then dry it in the sun. Next, you need to go out into an open space (on a balcony or on the street) at midnight, turn to the west, set fire to a rag and say loudly three times: "Timofti-timofti, presedintele meu roman, uite ne mine che sunt nebun, oh pule kalului yoke-go", and then scatter the ash in the wind, and leave without looking back.

The second conspiracy works well for the sale of only upholstered furniture. You need to make a semblance of a sofa or an armchair that you are going to sell out of crumb of bread, put it in a jar, pour it with urine and put it under the door or under the car for a person with a good salary. At the same time, say: "Well, natural fecal, natural urine, treyaske-treyaske mike raspberries", spit over your left shoulder and leave without looking back.

Usually, after the ancient conspiracies of the Transylvanian priests, second-hand furniture leaves the entrance even according to Avito, even according to the usual announcement at the entrance. These are proven white magic remedies that work 100%.

Where to rent office furniture?

It is more profitable not to rent office furniture, but to sell it through an auction. This option is in high demand, so it is easily sold out, and you can get much more money than the residual book value.

The auction takes over the entire cycle of office furniture sales - photography, loading, transportation, sale. The commission is 15% of the final price. The seller himself has the right to regulate the bidding step, set the blitz price and the timing of the auction.

Office furniture can be handed over for standard sales, or, if it is broken, for recycling. Computer tables, chairs for visitors, counters, bookcases and safes - all this is as liquid and in demand as possible.

Repurchase of used office furniture enters the life of Russians as closely as the resale of cars and household appliances. If a thing can serve other people, it can be repaired and given a second life, why spoil the environment and recycle valuable raw materials? The maximum service life of an MDF panel can be up to 120 years, and if you change the edge and do the surface treatment with polymers, then it is almost infinite. Restoration is a real business.

Also used office furniture can be rented, such services are very popular during exhibitions, registration of fly-by-night companies, sometimes even orders are received from television studios.
