Style
When it comes to classic antique, vintage furniture, it cannot be beaten on originality and history. Antique furniture was made centuries ago and is still being utilised to this day, making them desperately hard to find. They have a more rustic feel than their reproduction counterparts, meaning their surfaces might be faded and damaged. Reproduction furniture, whilst not original, carries virtually the same qualities as genuine antiques, with a more polished finished and construction.
Reproduction furniture is much more durable, and its glossy finish and sound structure makes it perfect for dining tables and chairs. Here at Kelvin Furniture, we sell stunning antique furniture in Leeds, all manufactured in mahogany and yew wood to give you that strong, glossy finish.
Price
Antique furniture is incredibly timeless, with many products being damaged or lost over the centuries that have passed. Because of this, genuine antiques are much harder to come by, making them more expensive than reproduction and modern furniture. Most products are also hand carved due to the lack of engineering in the past, making them precious artefacts to be looked after. Reproduction antique furniture is much more modern and widely available, making it a cheaper option.
Coffee tables and display cabinets are popular choices when it comes to antique furniture, and when you opt for a reproduction piece, you can be assured that your furniture will include extra durability and a high quality finish.
Availability
Due to their original, one-of-a-kind status, genuine antique furniture is much harder to get your hands on. It’s rarity and age make for expensive pieces of furniture, leading to most people turning to reproduction pieces for practicality. Owning an antique piece of furniture can be a great attribute to show off and be proud of. It makes for a staple piece in any home, but they aren’t easy to purchase.
Reproduction furniture can be just as stunning in your home, and makes for a great conversation piece. From dining furniture to TV cabinets, reproduction pieces are much easier to find, and are cheaper too. Although they aren’t originals, they still possess an uncanny likeness to their antique counterparts, and will make for a stunning piece in your home.
