Why Collect Antique Furniture?
Some people only want the latest and the greatest of everything. Others appreciate older treasures that provide a connection to the past. When these people see a Victorian desk, they wonder who might have sat at it in years gone by. They can form vivid image in their mind of hand written love notes being penned by long gone strangers. The antique collector looks at the old pieces of furniture he or she collects and wonders what wonderful and even commonplace stories might have unfolded while they sat as silent witnesses for several lifetimes’ worth of years. They find joy and a nostalgic connection to the past in every antique they purchase and add to their own collection. They relish the idea of adding their own story to something special that may outlive them and be passed on to a collector who might not even be born yet.
