It doesnt seem to matter if its victorian, early american, shaker, colonial, etc. There has never been in my life time a better time to buy middle market antique furniture, no matter which style.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-513">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> yup, there are deals in antique furniture across the board if one believes the dealers i am in contact with.

We specialize primarily in upper-middle to high end American Victorian Furniture and have seen sales drop to zero in recent months. Fortunately this is not my primary source of income, otherwise my family would be hurting. People tend to pull back on discretionary spending as the economy heads south, and art (which is really what antique furniture represents) certainly falls into that category.
