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. It is a nod to history, craftsmanship, and the design of classic and timeless furniture. There are many different styles in antique furniture, each with its distinctive features.  

There are many styles characteristic of antique furniture, but we can highlight a few of the most important ones. Eclectic furniture dates back to the 19th century, during which the beloved Biedermeier style prevailed. Its variants in the early years of this century include neo-Gothic, Gothic, Rococo, Louis-Philippe style, and finally the English Victorian style. Toward 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 was influenced by Napoleon's reign. It emphasized significant similarities and references to Roman and Greek ornamentation. 

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

Today, we can observe how greatly the Baroque style influenced modern classic furniture, which is designed with a strong resemblance to the historical era. Another significant style is Renaissance, which flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries and also left a major mark on furniture design. Renaissance furniture was quite heavy and solid. Brown stains, cornices, sturdy bases, and reliefs were commonly used. These products were quite distinctive but also introduced new possibilities, such as the construction of cabinets and broadly speaking, chest-type furniture. There was also an interest in mythology and ancient times, so supports and legs often took animal forms.  

Lion paws, eagle heads—these are common motifs in Renaissance style. Currently, many global brands reproduce furniture inspired by Italian and French artisans, paying homage to and preserving 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 an exclusive antique that suits your interior.  

The key feature of elite antique furniture is originality. This is ultimately crucial for buyers, as many counterfeits circulate on the market.
