The Value of Antique Office Furniture

Office furniture and decor go a long way in determining the ambiance at the workplace and how the employees feel. Good office furniture can make the employees and potential customers feel good about the place. Companies spend a lot of money on the interior decor and furniture of the office. The furniture chosen is generally based on utility, the space they occupy, and how easy or difficult it is to move the office furniture around. Most companies prefer to have furniture that can be assembled or dismantled quickly. However, to some office owners, the look of the furniture is more important than any other factor. This is where rich oak or walnut antique furniture stands out.
Antique Furniture
It is not necessarily furniture that has been around for ages. It is the look of the furniture and the material used that makes one think of furniture as antique or vintage. It is slightly heavier than normal furniture and suit places where they don't have to be moved around a lot.
Why Antique Furniture?
It has a rich and vintage look about it that can seldom be seen in modern or contemporary furniture. They make a place look rich. The biggest advantage is that it makes a business look stable as if it has been around for a long time. When well-maintained antique furniture is used in an office, it can bring a look to the office space that can rarely be matched by any other decor.
What Comprises of Antique Furniture?
As pointed out it is earlier called so by the richness and grandeur of the wood and raw material used. It can be quite expensive because of the wood used, but the durability of such furniture is unmatched. A pecan solid birch used for an office suite peninsula desk, for example, can add a new look to the office space. Designed or carved black mahogany can be used for office tables or reception desks with wide wooden drawers. The solid wood frames can even be polished with a veneer to give it a glossy look.
Convenience of style
Modern furniture like laptop desks and file cabinets can also be made with the look of antique furniture. Madeira cherry, antique black, or poplar solid wood can be made to undergo multi-step processing to give an exquisite look to a computer desk or an entertainment center. The quality of the wood in itself stands out more than any other aspect of the design and with wood spray and veneer, the surface can be made resilient to damage.
Drawbacks of Antique Furniture
One of the drawbacks to antique furniture is that the pieces are usually one of a kind and it is difficult to get a uniform look to the office. Also, even when matching pieces are found when changes are made in the office, it can be difficult to get additional matching pieces when the office is expanded. Actual antique furniture will not accommodate modern-day electronics and the wires and cords that they require.
