Antique furniture combines two cost drivers most movers charge extra for: real weight (solid wood, marble tops, cast iron) and fragility (veneer, glass, aged joints, clock mechanisms). Specialty movers pad, crate and blanket-wrap rather than shrink-wrap.
| Type | Typical weight | Local estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Single small piece (dresser, nightstand) | 75-150 lb | $75–$110 |
| Grandfather / longcase clock | 150-250 lb | $130–$180 |
| Large cabinet (armoire, wardrobe, china cabinet) | 250-400 lb | $165–$235 |
| Full antique furniture set / collection | varies | $205–$290 |
