Antique Demise/Competition For Woodworkers

With some exceptions, the value of hand-crafted antique furniture has declined in the last several years.  A run of the mill walnut Chippendale low chest of drawers, that sold for $5,000, fifteen years ago, is now selling for $800-1,200.  This would be great for a young person looking to buy except there appears to be little interest in antiques with the current generation.  It does represent competition to custom furniture makers such as ourselves who would have to charge $4,000-5000 to make the same form.  As you can see, it is a muddled market and a little difficult to figure out.

    What a blog post!! Very informative and also easy to understand. Looking for more such comments!! Do you have a facebook? I recommended it on digg. The only thing that it’s missing is a bit of new design. However thank you for this information.
