Exceptional antique furniture and accessories can be a perfect idea for decorating our interiors. There is currently a growing number of enthusiasts of high-quality vintage items that possess a specific character and soul. This is a nod to history, the creation, and design of classic and timeless furniture. There are many different styles in antique furniture, each with its distinctive features. 

Many styles characterize antique furniture, but a few key ones can be distinguished. Eclectic furniture refers to the 19th century, marked by the prevailing Biedermeier style. Its early 20th-century variants include neo-Gothic, Gothic, Rococo, Louis Philippe style, and finally the English Victorian style. Toward the end of the century, these styles transition into pseudo-classicism, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. 

Empire-style furniture and accessories date from the late 18th to early 19th century. Everything was influenced by Napoleon’s reign, which imposed significant similarities 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, a term derived from Portuguese 'barocco'—meaning irregularly developed pearl. These were highly decorative pieces designed to radiate splendor and play a significant role in luxury. Exclusive, selectively used materials were employed to further emphasize the grandeur of these items.  

Today, we can observe how much influence the Baroque style has had on modern classic 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 furniture was quite heavy and massive, using brown stains, moldings, sturdy bases, and bas-reliefs. These were quite distinctive products but also opened new possibilities, such as the construction of buffets or broadly defined chest furniture. Here, mythology and ancient times also inspired designs, with supports and legs taking animal forms.  

Lion’s paws, eagle heads—these are common motifs in Renaissance style. Currently, many global brands reproduce furniture inspired by Italian and French artisans, reflecting 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 in different nations. This is very important, especially when searching for elegant antique pieces suitable for your interior. 

The most important aspect of elite antique furniture is originality. This is ultimately crucial for buyers, as the market is flooded with many counterfeit items.
