Whatever your style is there is a large array of antique, French and vintage furniture and accessories including impressive antique tables and chairs, magnificent arty bookcases and display cabinets, comfortable leather settees and armchairs, antique books and world globes, benches, antique portraits, mirrors, silver trays with decanters... the list is endless. Crown collections gives top five tips on antiques and furniture values:

1.

New furniture depreciates the minute it leaves the store and becomes second-hand furniture

3.

Antique furniture increases in value the older the furniture is

4.

When offices are no longer required, the antiques can be brought home or they can be sold for a profit

5.

Antique furniture is 100 years old (or older) and never date – they are always in style.
