Спасибо,красиво ,но печально то что оператор чрезвычайно мало показывает коврики и пол на чем стоят предметы,ведь это не отъемливая часть общего декора,это как показывать вазу с цветами без опоры на чем она стоит ,будет парящая ваза
If you have a good upholsterer, or refinisher, flea markets and outdoor Antique shows can be shockingly cheap places to buy funiture and accessories. But it's smart to have a ball park figure, in advance for that work, before you start buying pieces "as is". And it will make haggling over prices more justifyable, to the seller. And not just you being cheap. Which you are. Good luck haggling at a new store. "As is" is always a lot cheaper, as many have a real fear of these services. But good condition can be expected. And often a simple surface cleaning can acheive this state, if it's not. It always surprises me how much cheaper actual originals, or older copies, can be than buying new from a furniture store. Which, if cheap, is usually shoddy. Throw away stuff, after very little time. This stuff was built to last. Having been in the trade for 13 yrs, years ago, the prices have actually changed little since then. You can't say that, about most things. But the minute you put new furniture in your home, it is second hand, and it's value tanks. Something to consider. But a little knowledge, and a good eye helps hugely. Having a good idea of your needs, and measurements, will avoid unfortunate impulse buys. Like that wonderful and cheap sofa that simply is too big. Or that now jarring orange lamp.. things are rarely returnable. But it needn't be some rare find, or an underpriced period piece. If you're not a knowledgeable dealer or collector, that isn't going to happen anyway. Good form and solid construction are still common in the later " Centennial" pieces, meant to be reproductions at the time, and not "fakes". And what was once new and expensive, now relegated to used furniture, since they aren't actually "period antiques". Oddly enough, many are now old enough to qualify as Antique, but aren't unless the dealer is shady. Avoid thinking you are besting a dealer. Like one who presents an "18th Century" Chippendale "coffee table" as a real steal... but actually is hugely overpriced because it's a 50 yr old Reproduction. They didn't make coffee tables in the 1700's. NEVER. True period pieces are hideously expensive. Copies, 1920's or later, or even 1876 Centennial repros, are not. Country late 1900''s pieces are cheaper, but can be too rural and homemade looking for an English Manor house look. That's Colonial, rustic, and not what you are going for. Instead, BUY IT BECAUSE YOU LOVE IT. AND IT'S CHEAP. And the new piece from that posh furniture store is vastly more expensive. And probably not nearly as well made, and a far lesser grade wood. These are parameters you can't get taken in. You know what a bargain is, already. And the hunt is fun. And often turns up small inexpensive accessory pieces as well. Gilt frames can be cheap, and easily converted to fabulous mirrors. Pretty floral porcelain pieces. Old siver plate trays and serving pieces add a posh air. Floral chintz anything. The look is cozy comfort and gently shabby elegance, added to by family ancestors over the decades. Landed gentry, not royalty. A nice spaniel or two. Horses are optional.
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and experiences! Your tips on shopping for furniture and accessories at flea markets and antique shows are incredibly valuable. I couldn’t agree more about the charm and durability of older pieces-there’s something so special about finding a piece that’s built to last and has a story behind it. And you’re absolutely right-buying what you love is the key! It sounds like you have a true eye for quality and a love for the hunt. Thanks again for your thoughtful comment, and happy treasure hunting! 😊
