There are many reasons why people choose to own vintage furniture and artwork. Whether a treasured heirloom or investment, or simply the love and appreciation for the aesthetics of a past style, when you own a piece of vintage furniture or artwork, you own a little piece of history. We as collectors are the current steward of that particular object and have a shared responsibility to maintain it as best we are able for the next generation of antique enthusiasts. To do so in the most effective way possible, you need proper know-how.
Decoding the value and history of antique and vintage furniture can be challenging. While a careful review of an item’s defining characteristics such as materials used, shape, and decorative flourishes can help you get a general idea regarding the age of a piece, a maker’s mark, if present, can help you pinpoint an item’s specific history, such as when and where it was produced and by whom.
When considering home decor, a good place to start is deciding on an interior design style to help shape the room you are decorating.
Mid-century is one of the popular styles that Good Wood carefully sources for our customers, and we often get questions about laminate, a material that is common to original mid-century modern furniture.
Did you know that perfume was one the first things that GoodWood carried besides home furnishings and décor? Our customers requested access to rare and unique perfumes, and we provided. And so was born one of the best niche perfume counters in Washington, D.C. We’ve carried many lines over the years, but here’s what’s in store at the moment.
