Appraisal of modern furniture: how it works
The valuation of modern furniture is based on several fundamental elements, including:
- authenticity of the piece;
- designer's signature or original trademark;
- state of conservation;
- rarity of the item;
- current demand of the design market.
Berti Antichità conducts an initial analysis through photographs and then, if necessary, through a direct, in-person appraisal. Each offer is carefully examined to provide a realistic price, consistent with the modern antiques and designer market.
What is meant by modernism?
The term modernariato refers to furniture and design objects produced mainly between the 1930s and the 1980s, with particular interest in furnishings from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.
These pieces today represent icons of Italian and international design and are increasingly sought after by collectors, architects, and enthusiasts.
The elements that increase the value of modern antiques
Signature and authenticity
Many historic designers and manufacturers used signatures, labels, or identifying marks. The presence of these details can significantly increase the value of a piece of furniture or object.
State of conservation
The condition of the piece is crucial when evaluating modern antique furniture. Even natural signs of aging can be appreciated, provided the item is authentic and has not undergone invasive restorations or alterations.
