Luxurious antique furniture and accessories can be an excellent idea for decorating our interiors. Currently, there is a growing number of enthusiasts of high-quality vintage items that possess a specific character and soul. This is a nod to history, creating, and designing classic and timeless furniture. There are many different styles in antique furniture, each with its distinctive features. 

Many styles characterize antique furniture, but we can highlight a few of the most important. Eclectic furniture refers to the 19th century, marked by the prevailing Biedermeier style. Its variants in the early years of this century include neo-Gothic, Gothic, Rococo, Louis Philippe style, and finally the English Victorian style. By the end of the century, these styles transitioned into pseudo styles of Classicism, Renaissance, and Baroque. 

Empire-style furniture and accessories date from the period between the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Everything originated from Napoleon's reign. It imposed a significant resemblance and references to Roman and Greek ornamentation. 

Neoclassical furniture reflects the Louis XVI style, which also strongly references ancient architecture. Interesting and noteworthy are antique products in Rococo style and Louis XV. Next is Baroque, whose name derives from the Portuguese 'barocco'—meaning an irregularly developed pearl. These were highly representative pieces designed to literally exude glamour and play a significant role in luxury. Unique materials were selectively used to emphasize the grandeur of these items. 

Today, we can observe how much the Baroque style influenced modern classical furniture, which is designed with a strong resemblance to the historical period. An important style is also Renaissance, which flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries and left a significant mark on furniture-making art. Renaissance style was quite heavy and bulky. Brown stains, cornices, sturdy bases, and reliefs were used. These products were quite distinctive but also opened new possibilities, such as the construction of cabinets or broadly understood chest furniture. Mythology and ancient times also inspired this style, so supports and legs often took animal forms. 

Lion paws, eagle heads—these are common features in Renaissance style furniture. Currently, many global brands reproduce such furniture, drawing inspiration from Italian and French craftsmen. This reflects admiration and respect for the history of the most beautiful Renaissance antiques. It is important to remember that furniture production was perceived differently in each country, so each style had its unique character. This is especially important when searching for a luxurious antique that suits your interior. 

The most important aspect of elite antique furniture is originality. This is ultimately crucial from the buyer's perspective, as many counterfeits circulate on the market.
