Vintage furniture is back in style. They are ornate, classy and beautifully and oh so very expensive as well. This is no less due to such furniture not being easily found these days while collectors grab the best of the lot whenever there is a private auction of antique pieces from stately homes and by people who can’t afford to maintain them anymore. But not every home is suitable for antique furniture whether they are genuine or not. These heirlooms have great stories behind them while their undoubted elegance and class deserves a home of equal dignity and richness to hold them.
Antique furniture is popular with the new rich and those who have enough money to throw away and if they can’t have the genuine they will have them reproduced for all they care. Unfortunately, vintage replica furniture is hard to find because you don’t get the type of craftsmen that can create those wonderful works of art on wood although the few there are charge such exorbitant prices for their replica furniture that one might as wait until it’s possible to buy the genuine kind. This is not to say there aren’t companies that produce replica furniture, because there are many from where it’s possible to buy replica chairs or other pieces made out of solid wood such as ebony and mahogany which has been treated for years before intricate work is done on them.
If you are fortunate enough to find a manufacturer who can produce replica furniture of high quality you can be sure that each piece he creates, whether it’s a bed, a dining table or replica chair is exquisitely carved and painstakingly made by hand that in time it could very well turn out to be another heirloom if well looked after and cared for. If you simply wish to look at beautiful examples of antique furniture your best option is to visit a museum or get in touch with a private collector who will most probably be guarding his precious collection like gold. But if you just can’t wait to get your hands on look a like antiques, you will have to get in touch with a professional replica furniture manufacturer who has the reputation for turning out exquisite furniture by hand.
We will now move from one end of the spectrum to the other by trying to find where it’s possible to buy cheap furniture. Low priced furniture is easy to find from retail or wholesale stores, from places where regular sales are held or at garage sales where it’s possible some times to buy high quality furniture for ridiculously low prices. It would not be uncommon to come across even heirlooms at these garage sales so be on the look out especially if the sale is at an old and stately home. Other places to look for cheap furniture are thrift stores and second hand furniture shops because the furniture you get in these places although cheap, are usually not of poor quality.
If you live in Melbourne or have visited this vibrant cosmopolitan city, you would no doubt have noticed the number of stores of furniture Melbourne has to offer the buyer. Having moved away from the traditional type of furniture that was a familiar sight in Melbourne a few decades ago, the present day stores carry furniture Melbourne can be proud of because they are modern, well crafted and beautifully made that even a visitor will not have any qualms about buying furniture from these shops. |
