Antique Furniture - Matchbox Magazine
Ian Brown is chairman and co-founder of antique specialists I & JL Brown, with over 30 years experience. He gives us his investing tips.
Why invest in antique furniture?
The greatest benefit of the investment is the pleasure and function that you have from the item - financial gain must be secondary. As with all investments prices go up and down.....
What are the returns?
Your own emotional pleasure...
Are there any risks?
Investments always carry the risk of market forces and if something is so valuable that you have to keep it in a vault you are risking the market forces without any pleasure from the item.
