Luxury antique furniture and accessories can be an excellent idea for decorating our interiors. Today, there are more and more enthusiasts of high-quality old products that have a specific character and soul. It is 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 of the most important ones. Eclectic furniture belongs to the 19th century, during which the Biedermeier style prevailed. Its variations 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 end of the 18th to the beginning of the 19th century. This style originated during Napoleon's reign, featuring significant similarities and references to Roman and Greek decorations.

Classicist furniture is 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 – which translates to an irregularly developed pearl. These were very representative pieces of furniture, designed to literally ooze glamour 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 how the Baroque style has significantly influenced 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 considerable mark on the art of furniture making. Renaissance style was quite heavy and massive. Brown stains were used, as well as cornices, strong bases, and 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. Here, too, there was an interest in mythology and ancient times, so supports or legs took on animal forms.

Lion paws, eagle 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 exclusive antique for your interior.

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