More details to this question:
My mother passed away in the last quarter of 2014 and inherited antique furniture was brought to the marital home. Now there is a divorce due to adultery. Will the inherited furniture be able to be kept separate from the division of marital assets since it was just recently inherited?

Yes, as long as you did nothing to indicate that your spouse was to be a co-owner with you.
