What is the easiest way to sell antique furniture?

You should first have your furniture appraised by either an auctioneer or antique appraiser. You should always take the time to find out about the history of what you have, and the only way to do that is to find someone who knows to give you information. It's honestly better to have antiques appraised by more than one person, and a really good appraiser will usually recommend you have someone else who specializes in certain furniture periods to have a look. If you haven't already, then please begin to take care of the item or items. 

Keep it/them in as good of a condition as possible. Once you know a little bit about the piece or pieces that you have, THEN you will want to begin advertising the item(s) to sell. You can either sell the furniture yourself, OR you can have someone sell it for you. If you're only selling one piece then you may consider posting bulletins around your town or placing an add in the newspaper. If you have more than one piece then you may want to go to a consignment shop; they generally let you set the price of what you are wanting to sale and items that don't sale can be reclaimed. 

The thing with auctions is that they guarantee a sale, BUT that does not mean that the item that's up for bids gets sold for the amount you want it to, that is unless you set a reserve price, meaning that the item can't sell for any less than the price you specified. If you're looking to get rid of something really quickly then auction is the best bet. Just make sure that you speak to an auctioneer or someone that can tell you about the piece or pieces.
