Reasons to Buy Antique Furniture

Antiques tell a storyAntiques are relics of the past: they carry the weight of bygone conversations, obsolete customs and etiquette. They are a reminder of the extravagances — and the hardships — of another era. And antiques that are inherited from your ancestors provide a tangible link to your own heritage.

Antiques are green!

Antiquing is the ultimate in eco-friendly shopping. Antiques are inherently recycled and reused.

Antique furniture is generally very well made

Of course, antiques can break and they do carry their own set of rules for maintenance and cleaning. But a table that has lasted through 200 year's worth of meals is probably pretty well made.

Antiques are trend proof.

While antique pieces are less likely to be super trendy they are also less likely to ever be completely untrendy. If you buy a piece with beautiful lines, curves and construction it is unlikely to offend even the trendiest of trendoids.

Contrast is good.

Antiques can add texture, energy and personality to even the most modern or contemporary decor. In fact, it is the contemporary room that benefits most from a few antiques.

Antiques retain or increase in value.

Well-cared for antiques go up in value over time. While prices rise and fall, antiques are a good investment over the long haul.
