When shopping for furniture, rub your finger across the finish and if an oil film is left on your finger the dealer has used lemon oil on it. Don t buy it. You can find antique furniture just about anywhere. First search your attic and your parent s attics. You can even try and get into the attics of the neighbor s homes.
Attics are the best places to find antiques people have forgotten about.
To find some more real deals, go to rummage sales, garage sales, estate sales, yard sales, thrift stores, pawn shops and flea markets. You might be able to pick up an antique at a really low price. Estate sales are usually the best place to find antiques because the items belonged to an elderly person. There are also antique stores, malls, dealers and auctions. You can expect to pay or get a variety of prices on antique furniture.
