An English Set Of Six Early 20th Century (Circa 1924) Mahogany Chippendale Style Chairs

ANTIQUES COST THE SAME
Antique and vintage furniture cost much the same as new upmarket furniture and increase in value, unlike new furniture. Not only are antiques a great investment, but they also have history, they're beautiful and they never date. Combining antique and contemporary furniture and accessories is stylish, sophisticated and adds warmth and character. Not only are antiques affordable and stylish but they are also eco-friendly. To add to the list of benefits, buying antiques is the most environmentally friendly way to decorate your home. An independent report has confirmed that antiques are environmentally friendly with a piece of antique furniture likely to have a carbon footprint 16 times lower than that of a newly manufactured item.
