Item description

In today's growing economy, buying antique furniture in Melbourne can turn out to be economical, stylish and an attractive option. The attention to detail and workmanship of antique furniture cannot be found in today's contemporary designs. There is a wide range of antique furniture pieces available but make sure you choose the aesthetic ones.
Antique collectors have somehow, mastered the skills in knowing exactly what the best buy is, but you might need a few tips and a little experience. If you are planning to buy antique furniture in Melbourne to add glamour and style to your home, make sure that you carry out enough research before choosing one.
•Observe the Dimensions - The antique furniture does not have proper dimensions since the wood that is used is old and shrinks with age. Or there is a strong possibility that the furniture you are eyeing on is not genuine at all. To clearly see if the furniture is worth purchasing, take time to view it in broad daylight.
•Test the Solidity - Antique furniture almost has no value if it loses its functionality and purpose. What's the point of purchasing an antique chair when you can't sit on it? Therefore, when you buy the furniture make sure that you try and sit and move items for verification. Good quality antique furniture is always functional. So make sure you choose accordingly.
•Proof for Antiquity - The age of the authentic furniture determines its authenticity. Therefore, be assured that you purchase the antique furniture which is at least 100 years old. Make sure that you look for signs of depreciation before purchasing anything. Also, consider if the furniture is restored or refurbished. Restored furniture might decrease its value.
•Examine the Colour Surface - The surface finish of the furniture is a significant detail that you should observe. Quality antique furniture in Melbourne will show flat-colouring except for some shades that might be shown due to age.
•Interview the Shop Owner well - Make sure that you get all the details with a one-on-one interview with the shopkeeper. Ask about when the furniture was made, i.e. about the era and the style of the furniture.
