Used antique furniture in Sharjah typically sells for AED 295 to AED 3,950 (about $81 to $1,100). Antique furniture is bought on originality and construction, so photograph the joints, the underside and the back — that is where a buyer confirms the piece is what you say it is.
Selling antique furniture in Sharjah
Sharjah is the most affordable of the northern emirates to live in and a large share of its residents commute into Dubai, which makes it a family and household market rather than a luxury one. Practical goods move here: white goods, children’s things and furniture that has to last.
Families move between the northern emirates far more often than they leave the country entirely, usually chasing rent, so goods here tend to circulate locally rather than being dumped by someone leaving for good.
The commute into Dubai shapes the day, so most handovers get arranged for evenings or the weekend rather than the middle of a working day. Collection by car is the norm and parking around the residential blocks is generally straightforward.
Sharjah has around 1.8 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Kalba, Khor Fakkan and Dubai are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.

What antique furniture is worth
What lifts the price
- Original surfaces and untouched patina
- Complete sets and matched pairs
What pulls it down
- Veneer lifting and missing sections
- Large Victorian pieces, which have fallen hardest
Working out what yours is worth
- Look for maker’s stamps inside drawers and on backs
- Check for woodworm flight holes and fresh dust
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
- A drawer removed, showing the dovetails and the runner wear
- The back and underside, which are rarely faked and show true age
Put in the description
- Wood or woods used, and whether solid or veneered
- Height, width and depth, and whether it dismantles
Period, item and wood: “Georgian Mahogany Chest of Drawers, c.1810, Original Handles”. “Original handles” and “original finish” are phrases this market searches and pays for — use them only when true. Include the dimensions in the title if there is room, since buyers have a space in mind.
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.
