We’re introducing a new spotlight where we’ll be showcasing some vintage “Things We Love!” This month, we’re highlighting Barrister Bookcases.
At GoodWood, you can count on us to offer an expertly curated collection of high quality furniture and decor at reasonable prices. GoodWood selects the best items directly from auction and estate sales, which eliminates any possible middlemen mark-ups. We own everything we sell so we can ensure our customers get the best prices possible.
GoodWood is back with part two of our style primer!
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.
GoodWood is located in the Marden Building on the corner of U St NW & Waverly Place. We are located next to CityFirst Bank.
We look forward to seeing you!
