Should I sell modern furniture as a set or individually?

It depends on the pieces and the buyers. Matching sets, such as a dining table with original chairs or a bedroom suite from the same line, can appeal to buyers who want a complete look, and keeping them together may preserve value for certain designs.

On the other hand, individual pieces sometimes sell for more in total, especially when one item, such as a particular chair, is in high demand. Breaking up a set also widens the pool of buyers, since many people only need one or two pieces.

An auction company or dealer familiar with modern furniture can advise which approach is likely to bring the best result for your items. Ask them how similar sets and individual pieces have performed recently, and weigh that against how quickly you want to sell.
