What we look for in antique &mid-century furniture

When it comes to antique French and English furniture, we're particularly interested in pieces that carry the charm and elegance of their era. I look for items that are beautifully carved. These pieces often showcase incredible craftsmanship, intricate detailing, and high-quality woods like walnut or mahogany. My focus is on authenticity, original finishes, and the overall character that speaks to the time period they represent.


For mid-century furniture, I tend to collect pieces that capture the sleek, minimalist design of the era. Danish modern chairs, credenzas by designers like Hans Wegner or Finn Juhl, and iconic Eames lounge chairs are some of the key items I seek. When buying, I look for originality, structural integrity, and whether the piece retains its functional appeal without too much restoration needed. I’m always keen to find pieces that balance aesthetic beauty with practicality and that tell a story of their time while still being relevant today.

What We're Interested In Buying For Antique & Mid-Century Furniture

Why you should book to get your furniture assessed?

Setting up an appointment with me at Harbourfront Antiques or inviting me for a house call to review your antique furniture gives you the chance to tap into my years of experience in identifying and valuing rare, high-quality pieces. Whether you have a stately Georgian chest of drawers or a beautiful chaise lounge chair, I can help you determine its true value, its desirability among collectors, and whether it holds untapped potential. I treat each piece with care and offer you insight that goes beyond surface-level assessments—ensuring you know exactly what you have and what it's worth.


By selling directly to me or consigning your furniture through the store, you benefit from my established clientele who appreciate fine craftsmanship and unique historical pieces. I help streamline the process, so you don’t have to navigate the often-complicated world of antiques alone. Whether you're looking to make a quick sale or prefer to wait for the right buyer, I can provide you with fair and competitive pricing, along with a tailored approach that maximizes your returns and ensures your pieces end up in the right hands.
