What price range should I expect for 20th century antiques?

Prices vary enormously. Small decorative objects from the 1950s–70s can start at a few dozen pounds, while signed Art Deco furniture by known designers or rare studio ceramics can reach several thousand. Mid-century Scandinavian pieces typically fall between £200 and £2,000 depending on maker and condition.

How can I tell whether a piece is genuinely from the 20th century?

Check construction methods, materials and hardware against the claimed period. Original labels, maker's stamps or retailer's marks are strong indicators. For furniture, look at joinery, finish and any secondary timbers inside drawers. A professional dealer should be able to explain and document their attribution clearly.

Are Art Deco and mid-century modern pieces considered antiques?

Legally, 'antique' typically means over 100 years old, so early Art Deco pieces (1920s) now qualify. Mid-century modern items (1950s–60s) are classified as vintage collectables. Both categories are actively collected and traded by professional antique dealers, and both carry genuine art-historical significance.

How should I care for 20th century furniture and decorative objects?

Keep wooden pieces away from direct sunlight and central heating to prevent veneer lifting. Clean lacquered or chrome surfaces with a soft damp cloth only. Original upholstery should be professionally cleaned rather than replaced where possible, as it supports authenticity and value.

Can dealers ship 20th century antiques internationally?

Yes. Most professional dealers on Antiquités en France have experience shipping to buyers across Europe and beyond. Always confirm packaging standards, insurance cover and any import regulations for your country before purchase. Fragile ceramics and glass should be crated rather than simply boxed.
