Antique chests of drawers

Antique dressers are perfect furniture for a historical decor

There is no more versatile piece of furniture than a dresser. It fits into any room, both at home and in a corporate space. You can choose from versions with cabinets, drawers, or mixed. Each one is multifunctional and practical. But you don't buy an antique dresser for its practical uses. An old dresser is meant to:

• decorate the home or apartment,
  
• give the interior character,
  
• make envious eyes green,
  
• gain value over time,
• show that you have taste and know what's best.

What does an antique dresser match? Firstly, the hallway. It's the perfect place to store seasonal accessories: hats, scarves, gloves, shawls, or sunglasses. It's also a good spot for fabric bags and shopping totes, which usually don't have a designated place in the home.

Some space should be allocated for shoe polishes, brushes, and lint rollers. On top, it's worth placing a pen and a small notebook for quick note-taking. You can hang a decorative mirror or a corkboard on the wall to ensure nothing is overlooked before leaving the house. Another solution is to paint a section of the wall with magnetic or chalkboard paint.

Where can you place and how to use an antique dresser in our homes?

An antique dresser in the living room has as many uses as there are users. If the dimensions of the dresser allow, you can place it anywhere. It can be a technological command center - a place to set the TV and store the decoder, router, and console. Drawers and compartments will help organize cables, chargers, and batteries. It can also serve as a bar for alcohol, a place for glasses. Of course, it will also be an ideal solution for displaying books, records, or the increasingly popular board games. A dresser with a marble top can even stand in the kitchen, where it will resist moisture.

Old antique dressers in the kitchen can hide towels, spare dish sponges, and a range of kitchen utensils, such as rolling pins, baking molds, ladles, and spatulas. All these items are essential for comfortable cooking. It's worth having them organized and in a fixed place. In the dining room, there's no better way to store cutlery, tablecloths, napkins, and seasonal decorative elements, such as baubles, mini Christmas trees, candles, or eggs traditionally adorning the holiday table.

Other interesting places for old restored furniture

In the bathroom, an antique dresser can store supplies of cleaning and hygiene products or cosmetics. It will also be an ideal storage for a scale, hairdryer, or straightener, or an electric shaver. This type of furniture is an absolute must-have in the bedroom. It will be perfect for storing bedding or lingerie. A small dresser with two drawers can replace a bedside table.

It's also hard to imagine an office without such equipment. It will facilitate the organization of document collections, hold supplies of copier paper and other office knick-knacks, and hide everything that shouldn't be stored outside. A safe can also be built into the dresser.

Antique dressers are not just about the interior. They can display family heirlooms, photographs, or decorative elements such as lamps, figurines, or travel souvenirs. They combine aesthetics and functionality.

An antique dresser is timeless quality

In descriptions of luxury furniture, the word "timeless" is often overused, but it's hard to find another word to describe a piece of furniture that has survived wars, revolutions, epidemics, and after hundreds of years still retains its beauty and style. It's not a cabinet from some DIY store that falls apart after three years, prompting you to buy another.

Centuries ago, carpenters crafted furniture meticulously, with attention to the smallest details, because they made them for kings, princes, and aristocracy. There was no room for error. If a carpenter failed to deliver, his reputation for incompetence would spread, and he would never receive a good commission again.

Therefore, today, after several hundred years, we can still admire them and adorn our living rooms and bedrooms with them. And since an antique chest of drawers has stood for several centuries, it will last for many more.  An antique piece of furniture can prove to be an investment for tougher times, as it gains value over time and is resistant to inflation. It can quite easily become an item for sale.
