Open every drawer and check they slide smoothly. Look for hand-cut dovetail construction on drawer sides. Commodes with original handles retain more value. Verify the top is not warped and that locks are functional.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an antique chest of drawers and a desk?
A chest of drawers is primarily storage (drawers), while a desk combines drawers with a writing surface, often with a fall-front. A bureau has a slanted top, whereas a flat desk (bureau plat) offers a large horizontal surface.
How to fix drawers that stick?
The most common cause is wood swelling from humidity. Try lightly sanding the side runners and applying wax or dry soap. If the problem persists, a professional restorer can adjust the runners without damaging the piece.
Is it worth investing in an antique chest of drawers?
Quality antique chests of drawers tend to hold or increase their value over time, especially pieces with marquetry, documented provenance, or from coveted periods like Louis XV or Georgian. They also offer a build quality hard to find today.
