Antique Desk Chairs

By Kristy Annely

The collection of articles is limited by two factors. They are the funds available and the room to be filled. Antique desk chairs generally do not have the casters, height adjustments or the pivot of the modern office chairs available today. Internet is the best medium for finding antique items, their online auctions and comparing prices. There are many websites that present pictures and other information on antique desk chairs. They also provide facilities for searching antique items, using various criteria such as, the period, country of origin, price and type.

Antiques are objects that have attained an age that makes them an eyewitness to the history of human civilization. They usually show excellent craftsmanship and design. In a consumer society, an antique is of market value greater than similar objects, of recent origin. Many museums display antique desk chairs in order to demonstrate the series of events attached. Antique chairs are commonly brought at antique stores or passed down as an asset. Some rare chairs can be brought from antique dealers and auctions

Normally, an antique chair is at least 75 years old and is saved or is sought-after due to rarity, usefulness or some other distinctive feature. It is a seating arrangement produced in the past and important because of its magnificence. There is a knack involved in shopping, recognizing, negotiating or bargaining for antique desk chairs. They can be bought for individual use, gifts and in the case of brokers and dealers, to earn. Antique desk chairs can be purchased at garage sales, property sales, resort towns, antiques districts, collectives and global auction houses. A collection of antique furniture items and especially desk chairs is a matter personal choice. It is generally recommended that the authenticity and genuineness of the antique chair should be confirmed before purchasing.

Hints About antique zenith radios

LEARN ABOUT THE WOOD. Most antique furniture is made primarily of wood. Study the wood in the item that you'd like to repair. Soft woods should be handled differently from hard woods. Veneers and inlays require special treatment as well. Unless the wood has been damaged by insects or repeated wear, you probably won't be repairing the wood itself. Wood is one of the longest-lasting materials in household items. Many ancient Egyptian furnishings and Scandinavian churches remain in excellent condition after hundreds or even thousands of years. However, if surface damage is a problem and it's safe to strip the item, research paint and varnish removers. Some are safe, some are not, and some work well on only a limited range of surfaces.

Don't try to negotiate a better price by denigrating the quality of the piece. Pointing out that "the leg is wobbly and there's a scratch on the surface" will not endear you to the seller, and your motives will be pretty transparent. Better to simply ask, "Can you do any better on the price?" Or offer an alternative price by saying, "Will you accept $250?" (I usually pick a figure that's about 20 percent below the marked price.)
