What price range should I expect for 20th century antique furniture?

Prices vary widely by style and maker. A good mid-century modern piece typically starts around £200–500, while signed Art Deco furniture by names such as Ruhlmann or Jean Royère can reach tens of thousands. Decorative objects — ceramics, lighting — often begin well under £100, making them ideal for first-time buyers.

How do I tell a genuine Art Deco piece from a later reproduction?

Examine the wood species (rosewood, amboyna burl), the quality of hand-cut joinery and the hardware finish — original nickel or chrome bronze ages distinctively. A maker's stamp, gallery label or documented provenance confirms authenticity. Overly uniform veneers and machine-cut edges are common signs of modern reproduction.

Which 20th century antiques are most sought after by collectors?

Signed Art Deco furniture leads the market, alongside ceramics by Primavera or Boch Frères, glassware by Daum and Lalique, lighting by Perzel, and seating by Jean Prouvé or Charlotte Perriand. Scandinavian design from the 1950s–60s also commands strong and growing demand internationally.

How should I care for 20th century antique furniture?

Keep pieces away from direct sunlight and avoid humidity fluctuations, which can lift precious veneers. Clean with a lightly dampened cloth, then apply a natural wood wax. For chrome or nickel-plated metal elements, a mild non-abrasive cleaner will restore shine without damaging the original patina.

Can 20th century antiques purchased on Antiquités en France be shipped internationally?

Yes. The vast majority of listed professional dealers offer shipping within France and abroad. Packaging, insurance and specialist carrier arrangements are agreed directly with the dealer, who can provide a full quote before purchase. Always confirm fragile or oversized items individually.
