Selling antique furniture in Udaipur
Udaipur is built around a series of lakes with palaces on and beside them, and it is one of the country’s best-known destinations for both tourism and weddings. Marble processing and handicrafts are substantial local industries alongside the visitor economy.

What antique furniture is worth
What lifts the price
- Documented makers and stamped pieces
- 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
- Look for maker’s stamps inside drawers and on backs
- Compare against recent sold results, not old valuations
Getting it ready
- Measure height, width and depth, and check whether the piece comes apart for transport.
- Do not strip, wax heavily or refinish. Original surface is much of the value and refinishing destroys it.
