American Antique
The Latest Styles in Antique Furniture
If you are in the market for antique furniture then there are a few things that you have to realize first. Styles have changed drastically and in recent years even deco furniture from the 1960s and even the early 1970s is considered antique. So there is a lot to learn and know about antique furniture but what is most important is what you find attractive.
For many people it is the well constructed claw footed oak furniture that they prefer. If its from the early 1800s on it can be purchased for a reasonable price and it blends well with modern furniture in a home or office. A nice antique oak table with big claw style feet works great in any setting and is both beautiful and functional.
One thing to remember is that most of the time if a piece of antique furniture has been refinished it is of lesser value. This is unless the piece was in dire need of repair before hand. In any case it is always best to look for antique furniture that has its original finish.
Some of the most valuable American antique furniture was made in any one of the original thirteen colonies on the east coast prior to the revolutionary war. Antique furniture from this era can easily run into the hundreds of thousands of dollars for even just a chair. If you are in the market for antique furniture that is going to be used heavily then you should give some consideration to just what you are buying.
Buying delicate chairs for a dining room table that children are going to be using will only lead to heartbreak as you watch them slowly disintegrate. This means that if your antique furniture is going to be used a lot then you should give consideration to buying solidly built wood pieces.
