Without knowing it, many of us have real nuggets in our interiors. Furniture inherited from an old aunt or found over time. Here is one that is worth much more than you believe.
Long shunned, this piece of furniture was relegated to the background. Deemed too massive and more stylish, it may have even finished in the cellar or worse, it was sold at broken prices. However, this piece of furniture that almost everyone has already seen with their grandparents returns today to the front of the stage. And this, at high prices.
Vintage and decoration professionals say it: requests explode. A dresser, a low buffet, a farm table or a simple row can now sell several hundred euros, sometimes even more. Motor pieces yesterday become coveted objects today. And second -hand platforms are full of it. But then, what makes this piece of furniture so sought after? Its robustness first. He crosses generations without problem. Then his pace: imposing, raw, noble, he brings cachet in a contemporary interior. And then there is the trend, of course. The return to the authentic, to solid wood, to the material that lived.
In decoration, the time of the real one has sounded more than ever. We want solid things, capable of lasting. Exit the furniture in plywood, make way for the character and this piece so sought after, it is the oak furniture! Not necessarily sculpted or worked, no. Even the simplest models attract all eyes. Its honey or dark shade, its density, its unique grain: everything pleases. Result: this rustic buffet which took the dust in the garage of your parents or your grandmother could well be worth 80 to 300 euros depending on its state, its time and its dimensions. And count 150 to 800 euros for a dining table, between 150 and 600 euros for an oak office, between 200 and 700 euros for a cabinet and up to 1,200 euros for a vintage row. Clear or patinated models being the most sought after.

Clean or highlight it (dusting, beeswax, beautiful photos) and be ready to negotiate! So before repainting it or buzzing it, it is better to look at it twice. Because under its apparent banality, this piece of furniture hides a real value.
