Interior design tips: The virtues of antique furniture
Are you tired of building flat-pack tables while trying to decipher Japanese instructions? Or are you sick of flimsy furnishings? Maybe it is time to invest in antique furniture so you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with having products that are built to last. After all interior design is something you should be proud of and it only takes a few nice items to transform the character of a room in a house. With that in mind here is some need to know information about antique furniture:
Antique furniture is just one branch of the broad practice of antiquing, although it is a particularly popular one. It involves the buying and selling of interior furnishings in the form of practical items and decorative pieces.
The definition of what constitutes antique furniture changes from place to place (item to item, even). Many people cite the 100 year rule (where the piece in question must be more than a century old) as a defining factor of antiqueness. This is common practice in the USA in particular. However as a general rule of thumb anything which is of considerable age which is collectible or desirable because of how old it is should be considered antique furniture. That said, there are more things which impact on the value of antiques than just age. Rarity and condition are major factors in dictating the price of something, although admittedly these are inextricably linked with age.
In this country things like tables and chairs from the Edwardian era are now widely regarded as antique furniture. Many would argue that Art Deco pieces should also be regarded as such due to their considerable collectability. Obviously Victorian pieces are common forms of antique furniture but there are a plethora of things which vary greatly in price which fall under the antique furniture London banner.
