Default Antique Furniture Dealers

Does anyone know of any antique furniture dealers ? I know I can go online but wondered if a member of foum had any dealings with anyone , and could recommend?
We shall, next year be returning to the UK and will not be taking all our furniture back with us. We have bought a new build apartment in the UK and space is very limited therefore we wish to sell off some furniture.

Thanks

PJay

If you canīt get potential buyers through the Forum, is there an Antique and Vintage Fair operating in your area. You could contact then a few dealers and see who gives you the best offer. Also, it may give you an idea of how much they are prepared to pay. Nothing to loose.... you can always say "no, thank you".

So, with your acknowledged googling skills couldn't you at least have had the courtesy to find out where Maratea is?

This is why it is so hepful Charles when people have the province details displayed on their posts, I dont know where it is either, and sometimes when you are in a hurry it helps to be able to easily identify the area rather than have to google. It is not a matter I think of Sally being rude just that like all of us sometimes she is short of time. I notice that you dont display your province either so we will just have to guess.!

I would add the region as well. This also helps when trying to find help for questions.

I can't seem to win these days!!! Anyway prior to Charles' somewhat out of character post,, I did find out where Maratea was, two hours south of Naples. I then tried Pagine Gialle again, typing in Basilicata but to no avail so tried Campania. Antique Shops Campania | PagineGialle.it.

PS I originally misspelt, Basilicata, and there is an antique shop there after all. Antique Shops Basilicata | PagineGialle.it
