In the “world of home furnishings,” the “well taken care of” hand-me-down or auction discovery is a unique phenomenon. When one considers that a graceful chair, complete dining room suite or perhaps a lovely coffee table has been put to good use ages ago and still is kept in excellent “working” condition for the enjoyment of generations to come, it is really a noteworthy accomplishment. The very fact that a furniture piece has been “preserved” for so long without mishap is rare indeed, and it commands notable value.

So, there is nothing quite so splendid to gaze upon when speaking of crafted items, as a well-put-together wooden or metal piece that is an original! Whether it is ornately carved, inlaid with fleurals or geometrics, or starkly simple and straight lined, the domain of antique furniture is not only abundant with beauty, but often is filled with usefulness as well! And, very often, quality “one of a kinds” or “complete sets” command a high price and are excellent subjects for investment.

One can truly get “caught up” in acquiring a variety of pieces or may consider collecting from only one style or “period”. In any case, procuring that certain “sought after” article or articles of furniture can be as rewarding and satisfying to the novice or connoisseur alike---as finding a precious gem!

Below is a chart for your basic information, listing the dates (period), styles and a simple description or comment about the item---that you may be searching for. Why not discover the fabulous and exciting "world of vintage furniture" and see what you may be missing!
