The Role of Antique Wooden Furniture
Though the new world is waking up to many different substances that can be used as a material for making furniture, whether for the household or for official purposes, there will always remain a major group of people who would like to remain with the old school of thought - they prefer antique furniture.
These really old pieces of wooden furniture lend a royal, classy look to their house. The antique furniture is so much in trend again that people not only use it for beautifying their houses but also invest in such furniture as an investment. They treat wooden furniture as art.
There are various classifications of antique furniture. For example, in Indian antique furniture, we get to see that all the royal families have lent their own style to the furniture.
In English furniture we see that different eras had different styles - like the Georgian furniture which are plain and simple. They follow the style of architecture used in their buildings. Such furniture is mainly made from oak and mahogany. A lot of attention is paid to the design. Even the screws are made of wood.
Regency furniture (as it is popularly known, though it is the late Georgian style) is the style in which a new look was given. It has a more elaborate look. This style was inspired from the Greek, Roman and Egyptian styles.
Victorian style is more into curves, rounded corners and heavy carving with glossy finish. Edwardian style is actually the beginning of reproduction of old furniture. The furniture of various other cultures reflects their own unique styles. For instance, somehow African furniture always has a mysterious aura surrounding the furniture.
When it comes to taking care of wooden furniture, there are a few points to note. Bear in mind that not all wooden furniture is meant to be restored to its brand new condition. For example, you wouldn't want an antique piece of furniture restored as new! Such furniture looks better with old marks, and they are worth more that way. So make sure you know what you are doing.
In general, wooden furniture should be polished with bee wax and soft cloth at least once in two months to give it the shiny look. You should take care that the furniture is not exposed to direct sunlight as extreme or long exposure to direct sunlight will result in fading of the surface area and it becomes more difficult to restore.
You should also avoid exposing your furniture to extreme humid environment or central heating. In such cases, you should use humidifiers or dehumidifiers depending upon the environment.
As mentioned earlier, some wooden furniture are meant to be pieces of art. So naturally, they need more care just like any other expensive pieces of art.
