1. If you are considering the purchase of new décor,
there are excellent reasons to buy American antique
furniture. Antiques provide a charm and uniqueness
that is truly unsurpassable by contemporary designs.
The benefits of buying an antique are that they are
very affordable and reduce negative impacts on the
environment. Not to mention that the experience of
purchasing American antique furniture can be more
memorable than a Saturday afternoon visit to the
nearest chain-store. Antiques are becoming a popular
way to decorate the home and it's no surprise as to
why this market is trending.

2. Antiques are Affordable In this economy many consumers are trying to cut
costs Even though antiques are less expensive than their contemporary
counterparts, buying antique furniture really does not come at any sacrifice
Antiques furnishings have been created with durable, quality craftsmanship
Some antiques that are available from 100-300 years ago include: •
Bookcases • Sofas • Bed Sets • Armoires • Cabinets Not only are
antiques cost-effective but they can offer a piece of history and a story for
every room in the home

3. Guests will want to know their country of origin and how old they are This is
an excellent way to engage visitors in interesting conversation The
Environmentally Friendly Choice Antique furnishings reduce the consumer's
carbon footprint This is made possible by reducing waste in the landfills

4. The production of new furniture drains the Earth of energy, while
manufacturing facilities release toxic fumes and waste products into the soil,
water and air Any type of chemical that these warehouses emit contributes to
worldwide environmental issues such as global warming and the destruction of
the ozone layer Antique furniture uses two of the foundations of eco-friendly
behavior; reducing and reusing Why buy another mass-manufactured product
that will break and be on the curb in less than a decade when there are
beautiful pieces of art and history available for even less money? Antiques
have character, class and add elegance to the home

5. They are not only the environmentally friendly choice but the stylish alternative
Consider the Experience When visiting a chain store, the employees more
than likely will not care what piece of furniture you select, and they all have the
same story; they came from a manufacturing plant An online antique store or
showroom is an entirely different experience

they have come from and a bit about their history, the buyer can truly feel a

furniture is one or two-hundred years old, or has been made in the US or
France, it will have character, history and this provides a one-of-a-kind
experience that cannot be replicated with modern products Buying antiques to
