Antique Furniture

Unless you are collecting for a museum, whatever pieces you purchase ought to have the merit of utility.

Of course, a little ingenuity can put old pieces to new uses, but if the piece you are considering is neither beautiful nor useful, it might be best to let it go...

Purchasing antiques with no attention to their utility or ability to beautify your environment makes one's abode a museum, not a home.

Not all antique furniture is aesthetically pleasing, and a great deal of the so-called reproduction furniture is hideous.

A purchaser of antiques can't be too wary, and a degree of skepticism is a virtue that will often prevent rash purchases that you'll regret afterward.
