If you own an original, architect-designed piece from the 20th century, there are several options when it comes to selling it. Some choose to try their luck at auctions or online marketplaces. Others prefer a trusted partner like KLASSIK.

But what is the real difference – and why do so many sellers prefer to deal directly with us?

1. We are specialists – and it shows in the price

At KLASSIK, we have worked with original Danish furniture art since 1991. Over the years, we have built knowledge and expertise that few can match. We understand the market, the rarities, and the details that determine value. When we assess your piece, it is based on professional insight – not just a quick online search. This ensures that you receive a realistic and fair price, reflecting the true market value.

In addition, we have a large international client base looking for fine and rare Nordic furniture, lighting, and ceramics. That is why we often pay above market price for the right pieces – so that we can continue to offer exceptional finds both to new buyers and to our many returning clients.

2. Auctions can be uncertain – with us it's simple and secure

At auction, there is never a guarantee that your piece will sell. It may not reach the reserve price, or the bidding may stop lower than expected.

At KLASSIK, thing's are different: we provide you with an offer to consider in peace. If you accept, the deal is settled - straightforward and without surprises. Collection can be arranged, and payment is made quickly.

3. We preserve and renew your furniture with care

With us, your piece is not simply resold. It is carefully restored and treated with respect for its originality and craftsmanship. Our cabinetmakers and upholsterers carefully assess whether a piece should be kept in its original patina, or whether a subtle refresh will extend its lifespan. This way, even well-loved furniture can flourish again – without losing its character.

4. A piece with history deserves the right setting

A design classic carries more than just function – it holds history. By selling through KLASSIK, you ensure that your piece continues its story in the right hands. Our buyers are as diverse as the furniture itself: private collectors in Tokyo, museums in Scandinavia, young couples investing in their first design piece, or seasoned enthusiasts adding to their collection. For many of our sellers, there is real satisfaction in knowing that their furniture will be valued, whether as the centrepiece of a home, a highlight in a design hotel, or part of a cultural collection.

5. We buy – so you avoid the hassle

At KLASSIK, we usually buy the furniture outright – rather than taking it on consignment. That means you avoid the time and effort of online marketplaces: taking photos, writing listings, answering endless enquiries, negotiating with unserious buyers – and not least the discomfort of having strangers visit your home.

The process at KLASSIK is simple:

1. Send us photos of your piece via our form
2. Receive a valuation – often within 3 working days
3. Decide whether you wish to sell or exchange
4. Arrange collection or delivery – with fast payment
