English Antique Furniture
Collectible interior furnishings that exhibit unique features that are rare and are of considerable age are termed as antique furniture. Antique Furniture appeals to many collectors and decorators as it is considered a form of decorative art. However, in addition to serving its decorative purpose, antique furniture may perform certain functions that incorporate every day use such as providing seating and storage.
The earliest forms of English antique furniture including chairs, beds, cabinets, drawers, shelves and desks were primitive and understandably very delicate. Subsequently, with the transition of furniture into a symbol of wealth and taste, it became decorated to reflect the lifestyle and status of its owners.
English antique furniture includes many different ranges extending from Tudor to Victorian and all of them are unique and helps one appreciate elegance and beauty of furniture pieces. Oak was the dominant wood that was used in most furniture, due to its sturdiness. On the other hand this characteristic of oak resulted in simple furniture as it was not easy to carve on oak. Gradually mahogany, pine, walnut and maple wood were used in this process.
One fact that everybody who is fond of antique furniture can agree on is, that it is not easy to maintain. The necessity of this may not even occur to some until a piece of their priceless collection is damaged. Therefore, it is important to be aware of what you can do in order to preserve and use your antique furniture for a long time. It is also equally important to make sure that you do not damage your furniture in the process of cleaning or polishing to ensure that the beauty of the original piece is preserved.
There are a few essential yet basic rules that can be followed to protect antiques. Frequent inspection for insects, holes and saw dust is imperative. It should also be kept in mind that heat as well as humidity is destructive for the pieces. To accomplish this, avoid placing them in close proximity to ovens and air conditioning or even in places of direct contact with sunlight as it is damaging to the craftsmanship of the furniture.
English antique furniture is extremely delicate and keeping it intact and clean requires a lot of careful handling. Avoid using oil as a polishing for these pieces. Wax is ideal as it not only cleans the furnishings but also gives them a glossy finish. Over enthusiastic wiping will only result in scrapes and scratches, therefore be gentle and make sure that you wipe out any excess wax or any other polishing material.
