Default How do I value furniture?

What do you mean by "old Stickley" ? Old (traditional 1900-ish
Gustav-style) couldn't be further from that piece. The modern Stickley
company are making similar stuff, but it's certainly not "old" - nor is
it fetching the proces that genuine old Stickley does.

Any ideas on how I can find out the value of it?


You talk to someone local who knows furniture and can physically see it,
and then they tell you.

Why do you think it's Stickley ? Is it marked ? Does it have any of
Stickley's characteristic design features ? Is it listed in one of the
Stickley catalogues (reprints are a few bucks - if you don't have one,
you're really not doing your homework on this table).
