What to do with that old piece of furniture

The basics of antique furniture:
You can first take the time to identify a piece as antique using a couple methods. If a piece is one hundred years old or older, it is considered to be an antique. Antiques were handmade and will be imperfect and lack uniformity.
You may already have a piece of antique furniture and want to display it. But how? Refurbishing is one option that is beneficial for the environment and it keeps more "natural" wood in your home, that doesn't release chemicals into the air.
Finding a way to display your antiques could help you battle that urge to buy the latest and greatest that will be out of style next month, costing you hundreds. Stick with the antique furniture and benefit the environment and your wallet. Find creative ways to disply such as using pieces as a bookshelf, storage or simply as a decoration in a room.
Before you look to sell or refurbish a piece, take the time to have it appraised and discover the true background. You may be fascinated, but it may also be worth more in it's original, dull state than if you were to refurbish it.
