Is It a Good Deal?

Research before you go:

• Check 1stDibs, Chairish, and eBay for comparables
• Know what you're looking for
• Understand the difference between antique, vintage, and reproduction

At Round Top:

• Compare similar pieces at multiple vendors
• Ask about the piece's history and origin
• Trust your gut—if you love it, it's worth it to you

Remember: Condition, rarity, and authenticity matter more than age. A well-made piece from the 1920s might be worth more than a poorly made piece from the 1820s.

Happy shopping!
