Do you love the beauty of antiques, but not the endless searching in country warehouses for the perfect piece? Sometimes when you do find the perfect looking piece, you only come to find out that it is so old that its rickety drawers won’t open for you, or its legs are wobbly, or has hinges that are sad and sorry.
A great solution to this problem is checking out some of the lovely reproductions that can be found out there from places like Authentic Models. Sure, we’d all love to inherit Grandpa’s travel trunk from the 1920s that is still in perfect condition, but the truth is, we cannot all be so lucky as to have these things make it through the generations. Sometimes, even if we do, they just might end up in the hands of our bratty older sister.
There are really fantastic pieces out there that have that old look, but are actually new. The solid Library du Jour bookcase has all the details of a French antique, as does the library ladder. There are also crafty modular units that allow you to re-invent your own antiques by combining drawers, cabinets, desks and shelves to suit your needs. How cool is that?
Now’s your chance to take things into your own hands and shop comfortably from home find to reasonably priced antique reproductions for your home like the Bombay Box and stylish steam trunks. And while you are at it, check out some of their other products that run the spectrum from games to lighting and decorative models.
