By Melissa Graham


A large number of people will purchase antiques such as paintings, items of jewellery, ceramics and furniture. Many of these items will be worth large sums of money and some care is needed when you intend to make a purchase. When you are trying to find and buy antique furniture Conroe there are various sellers and you should do some homework before you make a purchase.

Many items of furniture can be found such as large and small tables, dressers, different styles of chair and cabinets. The pieces will either be original or they may have been restored so that they can be used. If you buy any items that have had some restoration it is important to check that the work has been done correctly by an expert.

There are various places where you can buy your antiques in Conroe TX and it is important to buy from the correct places. Antiques dealers can be found in many areas and they are a good place to find and purchase your pieces. Professional dealers are knowledgeable and they will assist and advise you on your purchases to make sure you are getting the correct items.

You can also purchase pieces from an auction house and there are many sales that include pieces of furniture. The auctioneers will publish a list of items that are available to be bid on and you can choose the ones that you are interested in. You can either attend the sale in person or you can make online or telephone bids and you need to be aware that if you buy from an auction house you will pay a buyers commission.

You may also find the pieces that you are looking for by searching the internet and there are many web based retailers. The web sites contain some useful information and the sellers will list stock with photographs, a full description and the price.

You may choose to buy your pieces from a private seller which will avoid you having to pay store prices and commissions. If you intend to buy privately it is essential that your potential purchases are examined properly by an antiques expert. Due to the very high value of some items of furniture you need to avoid buying counterfeit items.

When you have purchased an item it is very important to keep payment receipts and any other paperwork relating to your piece. If you need to sell a piece in the future the purchase receipt and the provenance will be needed. Antique dealers will not buy pieces if you can not prove ownership and auctioneers will not enter items into a sale.

Any antiques that you have purchased will also need to be insured for their full retail value. If you have a home insurance policy you should check it as many will not cover a high value piece. There are a number of specialist insurance brokers that will insure each of your pieces separately for their full replacement value.
