They sell their luxury furniture to companies willing to buy. But not every company would buy because most companies only take quality used furniture to their possession. I know a few wealthy people that do not want to move their furniture with them to the new location so they sold it all.
Are you rich and wanting to get rid of furniture or are you looking to get a hold of rich people’s used furniture?
If you are rich, think about giving it to the “invisible” people that work around you, the maids, gardeners, cooks,etc. They will do one of two things with it. One – use it. Two – sell it. Either way it is out of your house and they benefit and deserve more from life than they get.
If you want to get your hands on rich peoples furniture, ask them for it. Send letters to rich households or neighborhoods offering to take their old furniture when they upgrade.

Some give it to their (friends’) college/young-professional age children. Two of my friends just got married, and furnished their new apartment this way.
Auction houses: Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Phillips, etc.
You can donate it (for a tax write-off) to Philanthropy by Design, which provides free interior design services to non-profit organizations. http://www.pbd.org
This is a wonderful way to make a living.
In Washington,DC there is a flood of new people moving into empty homes.
Within 100 miles there are wealthy people dying off and the heirs not caring about the furniture.
The will includes money and land, furniture is often unspecified.
Expensive furniture is often disposed of in haste by heirs who do not understand the value.
People with antique stores in Washington are on constant lookout for obituary notices.
In the UK the house and its furniture would be more likely to remain in the family. If not,they are the types who would use Sotheby’s.
As Kate said, there are several places out there, being Craigslist the most popular, but not the fastest growing one anymore. there are places, such
http://www.mybluesofa.com among others, that are growing rapidly in furniture and decor.

Don’t dismiss the tax deduction! I am wealthy and every time I have needed to get rid of furniture I have donated it. If you’re earning any taxable income, you’re getting ~40% of the value back, with no hassle. Someone else is then also able to benefit. This is a great deal.
I knew one wealthy couple who moved out of the country and didn’t want to take their furniture with them; they apparently just hired someone to haul it all to a thrift store and donated it. That means no money back, of course, aside from the tax deduction.
Obviously you’d want to clear this with the thrift store first since not all stores are equipped to handle a bunch of furniture suddenly getting dropped off.

If it is very nice, consignment stores, antique dealers, or auction houses relieve you of the work, but they also take a chunk of the profit. Look locally for on google for under those topics and you should come up with local options. There are also places that specialize in furniture such as http://www.mybluesofa.com, but frankly, Craiglist is much more popular.
In my experience they just give it to a family member, a handyman who’s services and demeanor they particularly appreciate, or donate it.
