How do I know if an antique is worth something?

Look for maker’s marks, signatures and original condition. Dealers and appraisers can give a rough value, but get a second opinion before selling anything valuable.

Before you goDo not clean or refinish it first; that can lower the value.
Ask the shop“Is this an appraisal, or an offer to buy?”
