Antique Questions Forum / Who buys 100 year old Burmese Furniture
« on: March 13, 2010, 08:09:36 pm »
Hello wise ones,
My father wants me to sell his Burmese Teak furniture. He loves it but is now wanting to sell it. I would love some ideas on who would love this type of furniture and what sort of price he could get for it.
The furniture itself has a history and my 82 year old father reckons it is well worth 100k. He sure fell in love with it and had to have it while on his travels. I am sure its a niche buy and would like to know where I can find that niche.
This exquisite 8 piece lounge suite was hand-carved in Pagan, Burma. It took two master craftsmen ten months to complete. It is 100 years old and after completion the suite was sent to Thailand, where, for a short time it was exhibited in the palace in Bangkok. There is a couch, four chairs, a long table and two small ones.
I am going to do my best to upload photos now, just got to figure out how.
Kind Thanks to you all for your help.
