Finally, you found which antiques provide real value to antique collectors and antique enthusiasts, and antique dealers also.

For many good reasons, real antiques from England, and antique furniture in particular, are a potentially great investment, particularly in the long term when they inevitably go up in commercial value and market price. Dealers and private buyers always win with British antiques.
They have to be at least 100 years old, but in many cases that guideline should be used with some flexibility in mind.
That's the official criterium generally utilized and supported by many governments internationally, not just the British or American, that draws a clear line to an otherwise difficult assessment of what is antique and what isn't and is to be considered vintage, old, secondhand and so on.

Only a few of the many many reasons, that make British antiques such a good investment opportunity, can be presented here, but here are a few:
- Great quality of craftsmanship of the British cabinetmakers of the past centuries all over Britain.
- Very appealing design and clean lines that make the pieces light and elegant, easy to fit in any home, among any other antiques or modern pieces.
- High quality woods used and brought over from the colonies, where some great types of wood could be easily found and imported.
- Great availability of antique pieces in great condition as the woods and techniques used in British antiques made maintenance and preservation very easy.

The history of American antiques and home interior design has always been heavily influenced by the British cabinetmaking and design.

You can always find the same style of antique furniture both in historical Great Britain and in Old America, not to mention the often identical materials.
Immigrants to America often brought their knowledge, experience and skill successfully enough to heavily influence the history of local cabinetmaking.
The European culture, which founded America, is always appealing to the citizens of the United States, especially those of European descent.

That's why so many prestigious antiques, and all the antique pieces that are on high demand, are British antiques, and others from around Europe.
But for many reasons, including historical and cultural ones, British antiques are at the top of many antique buyers' lists.
That's a steady trend and pattern of taste and behaviour, by collectors, private buyers, interior designers, and others.
Only dealers find that choice an inconvenient one because of the traveling and shipping required, and the difficulty in finding appropriate antique restorers.
British antiques have to be restored appropriately to retain and increase their value, any technique, especially if modern, can destroy most of its value, forever.
