When it comes to antique furniture shopping, there are certain pieces we're always on the hunt for. Sturdy work tables (the perfect stand-in for a kitchen island), scrubbed pine dressers, and still-latching vintage trunks all feel at right at home in farmhouses of all styles, and can be found at a variety of price points. That said, it's often those rarer, more unique antiques that become the true conversation starters of a room—and fetch higher values on the resale market.

We all have different reasons for antiquing. Some search for pieces that can be put to use, like jadeite and ironstone, while others seek out memorabilia associated with their most treasured pastimes. (Tennis or beekeeping, anyone?) Then, there are those of us who are in it purely for the thrill of the hunt. We love roaming flea markets and antique stalls not yet knowing what we want, but knowing that we’ll know it when we see it.
