How does the purchase evaluation work?
The valuation of a piece of furniture or antique artwork is an estimate of the potential sale price. It is influenced by several factors:
Age and rarity
Certain styles and historical periods are more sought-after than others. An 18th-century French chest of drawers, for example, will have a very different value than a 19th-century Italian piece.
Materials and quality
The type of wood, the quality of the inlays, and the finish significantly impact the value. Woods such as walnut, olive, rosewood, violetwood, carob, and rosewood are among the most prized.
State of conservation
A piece of furniture or painting in good condition always has a higher value. However, even pieces in need of restoration can have a market, if they are rare or valuable.
What are the valuation criteria for antiques in Forlì-Cesena?
To ensure a correct and transparent estimate, we take several factors into consideration:
State of preservation: a well-maintained piece of furniture or painting will have greater value.
Period of production: the historical era and rarity of the object significantly influence the price.
Quality and workmanship: carvings, chisels, finishes and artistic value are crucial.
Market demand: We evaluate the current interest in the style or historical period of the work.

The criteria for evaluating antiques
When we value an item or an entire estate, we take several factors into consideration:
- State of preservation: a well-kept piece of furniture or painting will have a higher value.
- Era and provenance: the historical era and rarity of the piece have a decisive influence.
- Quality of execution: carving, chiseling, materials and finishes contribute to the value and market valuation.
Why not rely on auctions
Many clients consider selling at auction, but it's a risky and expensive option. We advise against this option for three main reasons:
- Unsold risk: an item not sold at auction becomes “burnt” on the market.
- Long lead times: Auctions take months, while with us you can close in just a few hours.
- High costs: between commissions (around 35%) and transport costs, the real profit is drastically reduced.
With Berti Antichità, you'll be sure of a safe, fast transaction with no additional costs.
