VINTAGE FURNITURE WAREHOUSE

"Everything old, come back," says the mantra of style. And when it comes to interior decoration, the term vintage is coining more and more. Furniture, footstools, chairs and dining rooms "outdated", are claimed to combine with the modern and create a completely new home. Many times, vintage is associated with worn furniture, perhaps bland. The concept could not further deviate. In fact, there are companies that make vintage-style sofas or restore classic cabinetmaking with appliques or missing pieces. In warehouses and outlets, as well as antique shops, it is almost certain to run into furniture that last decades were the boom in furniture, and now, with the old trends reverberating, can become the missing element for a living room, living room or library. Some clients do their homework before going to these establishments. They read, compare examples and put together a mental map of what they expect to find.

However, the majority only conceives an incipient idea of what vintage means and how they can make it work. In that sense, and based on the premise of the sofa as king of the living room, these are the predictable furniture that customers can buy in a store or outlet. Chesterfield sofas A classic of the vintage style is the Chester sofa. Nordic, elegant and with an intimate history, the most prominent characteristic of this furniture is its arms and backrests, which are at the same height. The armrests of the Chester resemble a scroll, for its curved inclination and the legs, typically English, are short and made of solid wood. Some modern versions - and designed to lighten the transfer - include wheels. A Chesterfield also stands out for its upholstery and the padding of its seats, as well as the buttons and appliqués that can be seen in some copies.

The oldest versions of the Chester were completely lined with leather, currently has been chosen to maintain the essence of that material, but working synthetic less aggressive to the environment. Patent leather chairs Although most of the bases that arm these chairs are made of solid wood, the patent leather coating is an element that stands out from the 1950s and is assertive when it comes to decorating the interiors. For high prices or incredible bargains, antique dealers always have a good selection of these chairs, whether they are intended for dining rooms, living rooms or spaces in the house that need an elegant touch.

As with the Chesterfield sofas, these chairs are usually in dark colors - black, gray or brown - but some people, who opt for the bold and original, get copies in red. Chaise longue The long chairs or long sofas have reached a level of modernity that adapts to the tastes and styles of many people. However, the original chaise longue, native of France, are those that evoke the vintage essence in all its splendor. This furniture is characterized by its curved armrests and, in most cases, by leaving an extended end to stretch the feet. Like a chaise longue, but more feminine, the chaise longue lived their moment of height in the decade of the 1940s and at present, they return, with their original materials or renewed by the movable company. Of course, always maintaining its essence.
