About Our Company
In the period 1981 to 2001 specific items of antique English furniture showed a 517% increase. From 1996 to 2001 unspecified across-the-board antique English furniture has shown 141% increase. A collection of Antique Dining Room furniture bought in 1981 for £5,445. would now cost in excess of £60,000. See the John Bly records from 1961 to 2003 (attached) . In our opinion and experience, starting within the next 12 months we consider that an annual growth of 15% in the first year increasing to 35% p.a. by year five is conservative and realizable for specific items. Specific means the best of its type in any category being thoroughly authenticated as described with a binding certificate.
Why: There is a finite supply of fine antique furniture and an infinite demand. No other investment principal offers its flexibility. You may choose to use or warehouse. If the former there is no other furniture that earns you money while you sit on it, eat at it, or write upon it while it enhances your household environment. If the latter full details of the logistics are available on request. Both have successful track records.
Why Bly; As a family company now in its fifth generation John Bly has unrivalled knowledge in authentication. Thus with more than one hundred years trading experience John Bly is able to supply a short (three years), medium (five years) or long term (ten years plus) secure high return investment in Fine Antique English Furniture with a minimum of a money-back guarantee in a need to sell situation. For group purchases, funds and individual investments of larger scale alternative advisers are selected to manage in the event of the unforeseen demise of John Bly, heirs and successors. The present John Bly is Past Chairman of the British Antique Dealers Association, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and a Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths.
