How to Use This Calculator
  1. Select Furniture Type: chair, table, dresser/chest, cabinet, or desk.
  2. Enter Age in years — items 100+ years old qualify as antiques; 50–99 years are 'vintage'.
  3. Set Condition (1=poor to 5=excellent) and Provenance (unknown, documented history, or notable maker).
  4. Enter Rarity and Original Parts % — higher originality significantly increases value.
  5. Review Estimated Value and the Auction Low/High range for realistic expectations.
  6. Use Insurance Value for scheduling the item on your homeowners or collectibles policy.
