How to tell where your antiques furntirue came from

May 31st, 2009 . by admin

What kind of wood is found in the region near you? Is that the same kind of wood that was there 100 years ago? Perhaps the entire area was logged over and now it is second or third growth forest with entirely different trees. You see, hand made antiques furniture was generally made locally from the woods that were readily available. This will help you determine the age of an antique and it can help you tell if it is authentic or a reproduction. If you have determined it is an authentic antique and it is the style and finish you like, look closely to see whether it has been altered at all through the years because that will have an effect on its actual value.
