I completely agree with you Peter. With one caveat - the condition of the antique furniture should be good before you buy. Repairs to these beautiful old pieces will often set you back MORE than the original cost - I have learnt this lesson well, but will still do it, and pay to keep these pieces 'alive' and not add to the huge piles of irreparable junk furniture in landfills - they can't be repaired, ever.

@estherkinzelmann4875 6 месяцев назад

You are so right. I said so about 40 years ago already. Have a nice time.

@merryanna5818 6 месяцев назад

I wholeheartedly agree with your analysis. I have been collecting antiques for a long time and have lots of brown furniture, 18 &17c. pieces I got in the 2000’s when my funds were available. Did’t over pay, but paid what dealers asked. Now some pieces have lost value, like buying the $750 chest you showed for $1300. BUT, I love my furnishings and enjoy them. I wouldn’t dream of having IKEA in my house. My rationale is if I had to sell my antiques and did’t get what I paid, I’ve lived and loved them for many many years, and they are all handmade and beautiful. And some would still command the price I paid. (And my Chinese objects all have excellent value, some have increased😊). Lucky for my niece and nephew when the time comes.Thank you for all the great information you give us.

Well made points Peter ! The furniture cabinets are usually a paper veneered wood imitation glued onto chipboard (like wallpaper on a wall). Yes cheap made for the bulk consumer. Made on computerised million dollar machines all mass produced, zero investment value. On some items you get solid timbers i.e. chairs or some tables, mainly beech wood timber.

@jeanhawken4482 6 месяцев назад

Great comments and many made me laugh it was great.

@brianrichards7006 6 месяцев назад

You are absolutely correct Mr. Combs. Thirty years ago, I was picking up really beautiful Japanese Tansu from the Edo period for less than $500 each. These make perfect chest of drawers, and they give visual delight to your eyes. Likewise you can buy late Qing Chinese carved and gilt cabinets for under $1000, but frequently less at auction. If you like European furniture, Live Auctioneers is your playground. I bought authentic George I and II cabinets/small tables for nothing...less than $300. Etc, etc.

@avardmacgregor746 6 месяцев назад

Sound advice. I never buy anything new but socks and underwear.

@jenniferparmelee5041 6 месяцев назад

Amen! I’ve been saying the same thing for years. I have only bought one new furniture set in my life. Spent so much energy constantly putting new supports and braces underneath to fix broken supports. It’s not worth the hassle.

@sophieartmusic 6 месяцев назад

Peter’s got jokes!! Lol 😂 you comments are hilarious!!!

@jackkohler1392 6 месяцев назад

Totally agree with you Peter! Some of the most beautiful furniture you will ever see comes up at auction at Drouots in Paris and is so inexpensive its hard to believe! The problem comes in getting it over here. But auctions or second hand here is definitely your best bet.

@user-kn4yl4ey6f 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for this expansion on antiques! I could never understand the down pricing of brown furniture over the years. Strange!

@johnpowell602 6 месяцев назад

Thank you sir I have always bought antique pieces and I absolutely agree with you,!! I have pieces today that have gained in value and look great in our home. I bought what I could afford and never looked back . Thank you again

@cathydrumobich9045 6 месяцев назад

Mr. Combs: Loved this. Hope you will do more of these. They are quite helpful.

@danbeaulieu5567 6 месяцев назад

I’ve found amazing furniture dirt cheap. Been harder to find with everyone having a phone to look at the “asking” prices.

@williamanderson238 6 месяцев назад

On the mark on so many levels. I could not agree with you more. The one thing I have learned; however, is that I love to live with antique furniture, art and beautiful decorative arts, but I have had people brand it as hoarding and I have also learned that you can live with antiques, but absolutely don't try to sell a house or apartment furnished with them. Could not believe the comments I got when I tried to (completely crazy) . . . The HGTV ethos is still dominant even with discussions about the return of color, maximalism and grand millenium style.

@ordulf7193 6 месяцев назад

Yes, though I do have some ikea bookshelves for the time being. Friend of mine who does estate sales calls particle board "beaver poop". 😆

@warisgood454 6 месяцев назад

I once got six Windsor high back chairs from a thrift store ridiculously cheap They were in amazing condition The point is new box furniture doesn't hold its value and often gets destroyed when you move I follow the ruke done buy anything your just going to throw it out later And big box furniture you will alway throw out in less than ten years The last time I bought big box furniture it looked so bad after five years I was even embarrassed to have them seen by my neighbour's being thrown out in the garbage The fun is buying items from your house peice by peice

@susprime7018 6 месяцев назад

Nice tea/card table against your wall, looks lovely. I like that Howard Wax, thanks for the tip.😊

Just bought a beautiful antique table for 80 dollars that is a highlight to my house

@cooperwesley1536 6 месяцев назад

I've furnished my entire apartment with vintage and high-end reproductions... all acquired for virtually nothing. Recently, I bought a Georgian mahogany breakfront made by Baker in the 1960s. It's practically mint, and even has all of the original glass. 80 bucks (!!!) at Salvation Army. I'm always reluctant to share my secrets with friends, but occasionally I have to. They're wasting SO MUCH money. Even then, the younger ones laugh at me as they head off to Ikea. Oh well... that just leaves more great stuff for me (and less competition). Right? Cheers... and Happy Hunting!

@WondrousThingswithBrianFrench 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Peter... big fan of early furniture too. Early long case (grandfather) clocks are an amazing buy.

@ronmellor5951 6 месяцев назад

Very sound advice Peter. Quality of real wood and real craftsmanship that comes with antique furniture is well worth the time spent finding it. You used many Georgian examples but good quality Victorian is an even better purchase.

I'm an architecture student Brazil, I've found incredible 19th and early 20th century furniture in auctions and facebook marketplace. My apartment is filled with late colonial and art deco pieces, all made of the finest woods that are now illegal to cut (rosewood, brazilwood, walnut, for example) - if i spent the money i invested buying all of it in a brand new "cheap" store that sells only mdf, i would have an almost empty apartment. Here, there is an incredible hype over midcentury modern furniture, contemporary replicas and vintage pieces can go in the mark of tens of thousands. I feel (with some experience in my field) that the brazilian elites couldn't care less for antiques, the few that appreciate it die and their heirs sell it all at the first opportunity to buy a new apartment in Miami or go to Disney. Colonial funiture and objects, some museum quality, are expensive in antiquarians and dealers, but they find their pieces in auctions as well... most of them rely on few sales with big margins from rich buyers. It is sad, but i'm happy to have a beautiful home full of good quality woods and hand carved chairs being a broke college student!

@j_mnzs 6 месяцев назад

Another curious situation is that midcentury designer furniture fakes appear all the time in the market, but antique pieces have no interest from forgers, who can profit much more and have way less work with the simpler designs. Antique furniture has an amazing quality and it can be seen and felt pretty easily.

And after the shipping costs...

@kathywiseman7944 6 месяцев назад

About 8 years ago I bought a mid century blond small kitchen table with a folded leaf that fits in a hole under the middle with 4 chairs for $12.50 and a Duncan Phyfe table with 8 chairs for my daughter for $25. Furniture in our area, for the most part, are going for pennies on the dollar in the local auctions.

@TheTerryE 6 месяцев назад

Give me brown furniture any day of the week. You can buy an 18th century British antique for less money than some ugly brass and glass monstrosity from a big box store.

@nathanielalgernon975 6 месяцев назад

Very interesting, yes you've convinced me to buy antique and vintage furniture. The brown furniture probably is still very cheap, so we can buy an antique of higher quality at a lower price, plus have something that will go up in value. Perfect.

@ChakaKhanian 4 месяца назад

Thank you.

@Blondine9ify 4 месяца назад

We live in a throw away society where everyone wants something new instead of appreciating solid beautiful hand crafted antique furniture. I would rather prefer not to sit on a plastic sofa or arm chair. The ignorance is sad. I really liked your comment about how everything is painted grey now because then you don't know what the wood is underneath! 😢 I have an authentic Louis XVI arm chair an no one knows the difference between fake or real anymore and nor do people seem to care. Everything is so hugely commercialized online to buy new now and it's very sad for all antique furniture.

@warisgood454 6 месяцев назад

Some thrift stores sell vintage furniture very cheap beacuase they take up too much space and the just want to move rhem

@timothysullivan6790 6 месяцев назад

Oh, Peter… Your influence already led me (thankfully) this weekend to buy a BEAUTIFUL early 19th c. French drawing at an auction you recommended. And that purchase cleaned me out so that I couldn’t bid any higher on the Louis XVI style marble topped bedside table that I lost tonight… Your advice is entirely correct, but it comes at a moment that gives me mixed feelings. That table would’ve been such a bargain…

@vanwilliams4028 6 месяцев назад

Great video!

@christopherrichards-loubie135 6 месяцев назад

@nathanielalgernon975 6 месяцев назад

One thing about Ikea that you missed Peter is those Swedish girls working there. They must have some sort of program where they send Swedish girls over to work in different areas of the US, anyway, some of them are very nice looking and by the looks of things they seem interested.

@clairebenoit7867 6 месяцев назад

0:20 good afternoon I'm just an old retired bat down here in Winston-Salem what originally Greenwich and then Fairfield Connecticut in the dear friend down here has quite a collection of the Chinese things and antiques and I've just been given a beautiful 18th century secretary desk and I have a lovely old gorum inkwell I see it online advertised for $100 heck I'd be happy to get two or 300 remind I did contact an inkwell society but I don't think they know what to do I suppose I'll end up being one of these online sellers in my old age

I wouldn’t use staples on an 18th century chair.. Nails, yes....

In most cases the seat is a replaced board. The frame is the furniture.

@warisgood454 6 месяцев назад

I agree plus your killing g your country economy buying factory made furmiture and cheap idea furniture always ends uo in the dump adding to environmental problems Truth is there are beautiful antique furniture in all styles from mid century modern to arts and craft and art deco You can decorate your house in a grand style beautifully with auction furniture garage sales and even thruft stores New box store furniture is disgusting
