Growing your home décor with antique furniture really helps your, you see the majority of antique furniture was created by hand back then, it was only in the late 19th century when manufacturing furniture became common & then in the 20th century it was typically the “norm” With all these large manufactures processing thousands of pieces of furniture a day, the chemicals, fumes, electricity & energy it takes hurts the world we live in. Buying antique furniture that was handcrafted guarantees that the only energy consumed was the physical energy put in by the individual.
- You Invite History Into Your Home
When you decide to start purchasing antique furniture into your home decor, you start to tell a story piece by piece, for example you can certainly purchase a table from a manufacturer that was most likely made in china. Don’t get me wrong, sometimes this can be a good option, however when you buy a piece that has been passed down from home to home over the centuries, the history that is soaked in the wood is absolutely phenomenal! Imagine having a piece of furniture that has been present for 2 World Wars, the first moon landing, even the gunpowder plot! Imagine owning a piece of history that; suits your interior decor perfectly & you can say “This was made the same year that Queen Victoria became the Queen” How amazing is that?
- Higher Quality Furniture
There’s just no doubt the quality is better, first of all the wood which was used then has been aged & worn for hundreds of years allowing the wood to be more dense, versatile & sustainable giving you a higher quality piece rather than a composite of different offcuts blended together to create a lower quality piece. Also any piece you buy will last the ages & only appreciate in value as time goes on, so not only can you pass down a high quality piece down your family tree as somewhat of an “heirloom” it will also provide a physical investment for your offspring.
- Create A Unique Décor With One-Off Pieces Personal To You
Depending on your interior decor & taste, we at Taylors Direct have found over time that most pieces are extremely unique & typically are so hard to find that they become one-off pieces, this gives you a fantastic opportunity to decorate your home in pieces that no one else has seen before!

As mentioned briefly, buying antique furniture allows you to pass your pieces down for generations to come, due to the sturdiness of the wood used & the timeless designs you’ll most certainly be able to give it to your children & their children, we still have grandfather clocks, chairs & benches that have been in the family for 300+ years, handcrafted by members of the Taylor family and are in excellent condition ready to be passed down to the next generation of Taylors.
