Used chest of drawerses in Jaipur typically sell for ₹3,850 to ₹23,000 (about $40 to $240). A chest of drawers is judged by how the drawers run — a buyer will open every one, so make sure they slide before you photograph anything.
Selling a chest of drawers in Jaipur
Jaipur is a major tourism and handicraft centre, long established in jewellery, gemstones, textiles and decorative work. The craft economy means genuinely distinctive items appear here that would be unusual elsewhere.
Tourism is seasonal and the trade around it rises and falls with it. Desert heat in summer is severe, and anything stored through it without shade will show the effects.
On gemstones and jewellery, ask what the stones actually are rather than what they look like. The trade here is old and knowledgeable, and honest sellers will tell you plainly.
Jaipur, in Rajasthan, has around 3 million people, which means a buyer pool big enough that almost anything finds someone, and close enough together that collection is rarely the obstacle. Jodhpur, Kota and Bikaner are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Jaipur
Two practical things shape a sale here. Courier serviceability varies by PIN code rather than by city, so check the buyer’s code before promising delivery. And packaging matters more than most sellers expect on long domestic routes — a poorly wrapped parcel arriving damaged is the commonest cause of a dispute.
What chest of drawerses are worth
What lifts the price
- Solid wood with dovetailed drawer joints
- Original handles and back panel intact
What pulls it down
- Water damage to the base and back panel
- Replaced or mismatched handles
Working out what yours is worth
- Pull one out and check the joints at the front corners
- Photograph the top and any water marks honestly
Getting it ready
- Empty every drawer and run each one in and out. Sticking runners can often be fixed with a candle rubbed along the wooden runner.
- Wipe the top. It is the surface buyers look at first and usually carries ring marks or heat damage.
Photograph
- All drawers open at staggered depths, showing they run freely
- The top surface at an angle to reveal ring marks, plus any chip, veneer lift or missing handle
Put in the description
- Number of drawers, and whether any are lockable or have dividers
- Whether every drawer runs smoothly, and whether handles match and are all present
Consistent demand all year with a January and late-summer lift. Solid wood pieces suitable for painting move fastest, often within a week or two.
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.

Common questions
Where can I sell a chest of drawers in Jaipur?
List it free here and arrange the handover with the buyer yourself. The walled old city is congested and awkward for a vehicle, so most people arrange collection outside it. The newer parts of the city are easy to drive and park in.
Do all the drawers open properly?
Test them and answer specifically. If one sticks, say which and why. Buyers accept a sticky drawer they were told about and resent one they discover.
