Instead, use these signs to gauge whether your furniture needs repair or restoration: Damage is spreading: A few chips of paint or worn patches are one thing.

In many cases, if you have available capital to invest, you're better off directing it to a mutual fund or similar traditional investment infrastructure than buying paintings with the expectation that a few years down the road they will greatly increase in value.
