<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sedona, post: 9785458, member: 4438&quot;]Like many of you, we also got a ton of vintage and antique furniture from relatives, from chairs to tables and dresses to our dining room set. When we bought our house, the only furniture we bought were beds and, later, a sofa set. It’s flanked in our living room by some utterly stunning channel backed Danish Art Deco club chairs. I just love the “brown” carved wood tables and chairs.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’ve also picked up a number of old carved or turned chairs at antique stores and had them reupholstered for a fraction of what a new Restoration Hardware chair would cost. I’m surprised more don’t do this. There are a ton of 100+ year old throne chairs at antique stores that would be great for anyone’s home, but they may have nasty, dated upholstery, so they don’t get a second look. One unusual spool turned chair I bought had such old and icky upholstery that it never made it into my house, and I drove it straight to my upholsterer.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think styles are cyclical, and quality furniture will be back. Supposedly when Art Deco came around no one wanted Art Nouveau.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
