Dos and Don’ts of Buying Antique Furniture in Toronto

Buying antique furniture in Toronto can be an exciting venture, but it requires careful consideration and knowledge to ensure you make a wise investment. Here are some dos and don'ts to keep in mind:

Antique Furniture Buying Guide: Toronto Tips

Dos:

1. Research and Educate Yourself:

   - Do research different styles, periods, and types of antique furniture to understand what you're looking for.

   - Educate yourself on common materials used in different periods, such as wood types and upholstery fabrics.

2. Set a Budget:

   - Do establish a realistic budget before you start shopping. This will help you narrow down your options and prevent overspending.

3. Visit Reputable Dealers:

   - Do buy from reputable antique dealers or established antique shops. Check reviews and ask for recommendations to ensure credibility.

4. Inspect Thoroughly:

   - Do carefully inspect the furniture for signs of authenticity, such as dovetail joints, handcrafted details, and original hardware.

   - Look for any signs of damage or repairs, and inquire about the restoration history.

5. Ask Questions:

   - Do ask the seller about the piece's provenance, age, and any available documentation. The more information you have, the better.

6. Check for Labels and Marks:

   - Do look for labels, marks, or signatures from the original maker. These can add to the provenance and authenticity of the piece.

7. Consider Size and Scale:

   - Do consider the size and scale of the furniture in relation to your space. Ensure it fits well and complements your existing decor.

8. Negotiate and Be Patient:

   - Do negotiate the price. Antique dealers often expect some haggling.

   - Be patient and don't rush into a purchase. Take the time to find the right piece for your needs.

Don'ts:

1. Overlook Condition:

   - Don't overlook the condition of the furniture. While some wear is expected in antiques, extensive damage can significantly decrease value.

2. Buy Without Documentation:

   - Don't buy an antique without any documentation or provenance. Authenticity is crucial for the value of the piece.

3. Ignore Quality:

   - Don't compromise on quality. Even if a piece looks good, ensure that it is well-made and crafted with quality materials.

4. Assume Age Equals Value:

   - Don't assume that just because a piece is old, it's valuable. The condition, rarity, and craftsmanship play significant roles in determining value.

5. Forget to Measure:

   - Don't forget to measure the space where you plan to place the furniture. Antique pieces might have different dimensions than modern furniture.

6. Dismiss Restoration:

   - Don't dismiss a piece solely based on restoration, but do inquire about the restoration process and its impact on the value.

7. Neglect Transportation Considerations:

   - Don't forget to consider how you will transport the furniture to your home. Some pieces may require special handling or arrangements.

8. Impulse Buying:

   - Don't make impulse purchases. Take the time to think about the purchase, and if needed, get a second opinion from an expert.

By keeping these dos and don'ts in mind, you can enhance your chances of finding a valuable and suitable antique furniture piece in Toronto.
