Selling antique furniture in Siliguri
Siliguri is the gateway to the northeast and the hill stations, a tea and transit city with heavy monsoon rainfall. It serves a wide surrounding region and trade here is unusually varied for the city’s size.
Trade and transport move households steadily, and the city’s role as a regional gateway brings people through constantly. Rainfall is heavy for months at a time and damp is the first thing to ask about.
The city is a transport hub and the main routes are busy with through traffic for much of the day. Collection is straightforward once off the main corridors.
Siliguri, in West Bengal, has around 510,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Kolkata, Howrah and Durgapur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Siliguri

What antique furniture is worth
What lifts the price
- Original surfaces and untouched patina
- Georgian and fine period pieces still in demand
What pulls it down
- Over-restoration, which strips original surface
- Large Victorian pieces, which have fallen hardest
Working out what yours is worth
- Check for woodworm flight holes and fresh dust
- Compare against recent sold results, not old valuations
Getting it ready
- Examine the construction: hand-cut dovetails, irregular saw marks and original hardware all indicate age.
- Do not strip, wax heavily or refinish. Original surface is much of the value and refinishing destroys it.
Photograph
- The whole piece from a three-quarter angle in daylight
- Any maker’s label, plus all damage, repairs and replaced hardware
Put in the description
- Approximate period, and the evidence for it
- Originality of handles, feet, glass and finish, plus all repairs and replacements
Collection only in practice — heavy, fragile and irreplaceable. Say which floor it is on, whether it dismantles, and whether you can help carry it.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
