Beautiful furniture - antiques, just like any artworks (including sculptures and paintings) can be perfect elements of stylish or stylized interiors, giving them an unusual character. The Artbidy online art gallery offers antique items, including antique furniture, thanks to which you can successfully realize comprehensive interior furnishings in the style of the old days.
Antique furniture and objects of old art fit even into modern interiors. They must be handled with care, not only because of the age of the antiques, but also because more of them in one room can strongly overwhelm the interior. Sometimes a kind of minimalism in the furnishing of stylish interiors makes the effect exceed our expectations - one historic object of art, a piece of furniture in a vintage style, can emphasize the luxurious nature of antiques, become a counterpoint to the entire arrangement of the room.
If you want to combine modern furniture with beautiful antique furniture, choose uniform furniture with universal, timeless fronts as the basis for your decor - it is easier to match furniture from the past and decorative antique items to such furniture. You will find a suitable antique piece of furniture in the online store offer of our Artbidy art gallery.
Not all luxurious old furniture has the character of unique antiques. It is very important how old the antique is - according to the law, furniture and collectibles that are at least 100 years old can be called antiques. So, when browsing the offer of antiques in an online store, it is worth taking a good look at the furniture that interests us - it may turn out that, yes, they are stylish furniture, but not luxury antiques. What is best to pay attention to during verification?
Look inside the furniture and check what boards the furniture is made of and whether nails were used in its construction (this may be a clue in stylish furniture, because nails were not used until the 19th century). The value of exclusive antiques is also influenced by their history and compliance with the original - i.e. if they have undergone renovation of antique furniture to regain its former splendor, it should be done using techniques appropriate for furniture collections of works of art. Otherwise, we can only talk about styling, which is not always of interest to collectors.
Regularity is important - gentle wiping of stylish luxury furniture or vacuuming it means that we do not have to wonder later what liquid we can or cannot use so that the antique furniture does not lose its gloss (as a result of damage to the polish) or cause discoloration on its surface .
However, if routine is not our domain and we need to use some stronger chemical agent to clean, of course, antique furniture should be treated with special liquids intended for old furniture. Thanks to this, our stylish interiors will be decorated with old furniture in still great condition.
