Laura Ashley Bedside Tables Resale Value

Laura Ashley bedside tables: price by condition

Seller-declared grades, sterling with an approximate US dollar equivalent at £1 ≈ $1.33 (July 2026). What each grade means.

What holds its value across Laura Ashley

• Original-era prints and fabrics, which collectors buy by pattern name and which cannot be reproduced
• Vintage furniture from the label’s own production, which was properly made and is sought out by people restoring a period room
• Complete curtain pairs in a recognised pattern, which are what someone needs to finish a room
• Uncut lengths of original fabric, which are bought by restorers and are worth more than made-up items in the same print

What pulls Laura Ashley resale value down

• Sun-bleached and faded prints, which on a pattern-led brand removes the entire reason for buying
• Later licensed homeware, which has none of the vintage market behind it and prices as high street
• Cut and altered curtains, which no longer fit any standard window and lose the collector’s interest as well
• Damp and musty storage smell in stored fabric, which buyers cannot assess remotely and will assume the worst about

Identifying and dating yours

1. Name the pattern if you can, because collectors search by pattern name rather than by item
2. Photograph the selvedge or the label on any fabric, which is where the era and the print name are printed
3. Measure curtains flat and give the drop, width and heading type in centimetres

What lifts any bedside table, whatever the label

Bedside tables sell in pairs, and drawer runners are the thing buyers test before anything else.

• Matching pairs sold together
• Solid wood with dovetailed drawers
• Drawers that run smoothly
• Recognised design and mid-century pieces

And what pulls one down

• Sticking or dropping drawers
• Water rings on the top
• Odd single tables
• Particleboard with sagging drawer bases

Working out what yours is worth

1. Open and close every drawer fully
2. Check the pair match exactly
3. Measure height, width and depth

What to state in the listing

• Height, width and depth
• Number of drawers or shelves
• Material and finish
• Whether sold as a pair or single, and the top and drawer condition

Style, drawers and quantity: “Pair of Oak Bedside Tables, 2 Drawer, 55cm High”. Pairs sell for considerably more than singles, so lead with the quantity. Height is the second search because it needs to match the bed.

Preparing and photographing it

1. Measure the height, and note that it wants to sit near mattress height to be useful.
2. Check drawer runners and any cable hole, and test for wobble.
3. Clean the top and check for ring marks and water damage, which is common on bedside surfaces.

1. The table from a standing angle, whole
2. The top surface across the light
3. The drawer open, showing the runner and interior
4. The back and legs, plus any chip, mark or missing handle

When it sells best, and handing it over

Steady year round with a January and late-summer lift. Matching pairs in neutral finishes sell within days.

Small and easy to collect, and a pair fits in most car boots. Give the dimensions so the buyer knows before setting off.

What buyers ask

Is vintage Laura Ashley worth more than the newer homeware?

Considerably, in the right patterns. The original-era prints and furniture have collectors; later licensed products behave like ordinary high-street homeware.

Should I cut down a large pair of curtains to fit?

No — uncut is worth more. A restorer can always shorten fabric, but nobody can put it back, so sell them at full size and give the measurements.

How much is a Laura Ashley bedside table worth?

Roughly £12 to £70 depending on condition, against £12 to £70 for bedside tables generally. The identification points above are what move a listing to the top of that range.

What the fees would take elsewhere
