Unique antique furniture and accessories can be an excellent idea for decorating our interiors. There is a growing number of enthusiasts of high-quality old products that have a specific character and soul. It's a nod to the history, creation, and design of classic and timeless furniture. There are many different styles in antique furniture, each with its distinctive features. 

There are many different styles characterising antique furniture, but we can highlight a few key ones. Eclectic furniture belongs to the 19th century, which saw the reigning Biedermeier style. Its variations in the early years of this century include Neo-Gothic, Gothic, Rococo, Louis Philippe, and finally, the English Victorian style. By the end of the century, these styles transitioned into pseudo-classical, Renaissance, and Baroque styles. 

Empire style furniture dates from the late 18th to early 19th century. It originated during Napoleon's reign, featuring significant similarities and references to Roman and Greek decorations. 

Classicist furniture refers to the Louis XVI style, which also strongly references ancient architecture. Interesting and noteworthy are all antique products in the Rococo and Louis XV styles. Next is Baroque, whose name comes from the Portuguese 'barocco' – meaning an irregularly shaped pearl. These were very representative pieces of furniture, designed to literally drip with splendour and play a significant role in luxury. Exceptional, selectively used materials were employed to further emphasise the lofty tone of these products. 

Today, we can observe the significant influence the Baroque style had on today's classic furniture, which is designed with great similarity to the past era. Another significant style is the Renaissance, which flourished in the 15th and 16th centuries and also left a substantial mark on the art of furniture making. Renaissance style was quite heavy and massive. Brown stains were used, along with cornices, strong plinths, and bas-reliefs. It can certainly be said that these were quite specific products, but they offered many new possibilities, such as the construction of sideboards or generally broadly defined chest furniture. There was also an interest in mythology and ancient times, so supports or legs took on animal forms. 

Lion's paws, eagle's heads – these are common sights in the Renaissance style. Currently, many global brands recreate such furniture, taking examples from Italian or French creators. This is a manifestation of admiration and care for the history of the most beautiful Renaissance antiques. It is important to remember that in each country, furniture making was perceived differently, so each style in a given country had its own distinct character. This is very important, especially when searching for the right elegant antique for your interior. 

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