There are many antique and architectural style furniture pieces available today that will add instant warmth and rustic charm to your home. These artifacts are undeniably elegant, reminiscent of an era of distinct design and craftsmanship that has all but disappeared. Each piece is rare and unique, and makes a valuable addition to any collection. These beautiful, stylish pieces range from fine mirrors and ornate cabinets, to old-fashioned chairs and rustic farmhouse tables.
Antique style farm tables are a great choice of furniture for your home. Their solid design and sturdy construction makes them ideal for many uses, including the centrepiece for a living space, or a work table for a shed or work shop. Now anyone can step back in time and own a wonderful piece of history with these genuine looking antique tables that have been individually hand crafted by skilled artisans from reclaimed timber and antique machine parts, to provide you with very authentic detail and feel.
Depending on what particular style would best suit your home, these tables come in a range of types, from mission style tables and round tables, to trestle tables. They are of varying lengths and sizes as well, usually from about 4 feet to 9 or 10 feet long. The tables may have turned spindle legs or tapered shaker style legs, or may not be made out of wood at all, such as with the brushed steel or copper legs, or legs made from industrial machine parts. The table tops also come in a versatile range of styles and are all expertly crafted using various types of reclaimed wood.
Whatever setting they are in, farmhouse tables look great, and their appeal is often enhanced by the finish used on them. A beautiful semi-rustic finish always gives the table an antique feel, for example, as does a natural finish. There are various shades of stain finishes that can be used, such as a brown maple stain, while other finishes include matte lacquer or bleached. Oil and wax stains are most commonly used as well.
The genuine reclaimed timber beams used to construct these tables helps give them their rustic or semi-rustic appearance. The beams themselves are taken from condemned late nineteenth century to pre-depression era buildings, instead of ending up in landfill. This wood, which is used to make the table tops and legs, is often reclaimed oak beams, or antique heart pine or white pine.
There are many uses for farmhouse tables, for example as a breakfast nook table in the kitchen, or as a computer desk in the study. They can even be custom built to give you just the right style, color and size to match your home setting. Each antique table is beautifully hand crafted so that no two tables are alike, and will truly bring a sense of warmth and old-fashioned charm to any living area.
