<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Francisco G Kempton, post: 4294463, member: 22714&quot;]I have been closesly watching the price of Brown furniture at least on my side of the Atlantic for last few years. Between 2018 and 2020 ( into 2021) the price of brown furniture did experience a price increase and demand peaking in 2020.It jumped by about 40% -60% in price from its lows.However at around May 2021 prices began to fall again almost back to their 2018 lows.</p><p><br /></p><p>There has been a slight uptick in the price of brown furniture, and select high quality furniture, origional Louis xv,xvi furniture is always going to command higher prices and at Christies we saw several Georgian chairs sell for tens thousands. $40,000 i think one georgian chair sold for. I know chairs can be found selling for a few pounds but the right chair is still a treasure. Georgian brown furniture and regency furniture always sell higher. Inevitably brown furniture will make comeback, painted furniture will only reduce the supply until we are at a point where brown furniture becomes a rarity.</p><p><br /></p><p>However there seems tons of brown furniture still freely available on the market, supply still out weighs demand. During early 2021, I personally offloaded alot of items for a good price that i paid only a few pounds for in 2018. There was a sharp demand for quality furniture ( not specifically antique) but a solid oak sideboard that was unwanted and ignored,and I got for $15 at a local auction in 2018 had dozens of offers in 2021 when i listed it on the market.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The market dropped like lead ballon in June 2021. That is also true for some asian porcelain which is still on an upward trend, so i assume with the easing of covid restrictions. The vast majority of people, focused their attention and money away from second hand market including antiques. I got a few beautiful Qianlong blue and white platters and other items for a almost nothing during this time whioch a few months earlier would have sold for 8 times more,simply because the market had a sudden sharp drop ion demand and supply saturated for a short time. I heard many comments during the sumer of 2021 that there was a large supply of blue and white Asian porclain on the market and i am guessing it was due to a drop in demand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
