Living Room Centerpiece: Antique Coffee Tables

January 13th, 2010 by admin
Respond


Genuine antique coffee tables are hard to find but if you have them, they would be the talk of your friends and neighbors. Antique coffee tables are normally wood coffee tables. You would rarely find glass coffee tables that are really antique. Each antique coffee table is a piece of exquisite and exclusive art. These classic beauties differ vastly in design, according to the period and the country in which they were made. Hence, when you select antique coffee tables, you should choose them very carefully. They should not only suit the interior design of your home but should also reflect your personality. They should be statements of your taste and style.

There is something very special about an antique coffee table. None of the modern or contemporary coffee tables would be able to provide the amazing and wondrous effect that antique coffee tables could create on the visitors. However, there is one minor difficulty if you purchase antique wood coffee tables. They require regular maintenance and constant care to keep them look fresh and ensure that they last longer.

However, there is another major problem that very few people are aware of in purchasing antique coffee tables. It is very difficult for ordinary persons to differentiate between genuine antique pieces and fakes known as faux antiques. Faux antiques that had been properly treated with the right chemicals would look as authentic as the original antiques. Normally, fake antiques would be quoted much lesser than the genuine ones but several clever operators try to quote fancy prices just to convince the client that it is real antique. This is one area in which you might need the expert services of a person who had specialized in antique products and who could differentiate between the original and the duplicate. Otherwise, you would end up paying a huge sum for something that is not genuine.

Product Feature: The Hampton Bedroom Furniture Set

Hampton Bedroom Collection

Hampton Bedroom Collection

It’s Sunday. The sun shines into your room to wake you up. Outside you hear the water cascading into the shore and out again. You hear the ever-so-soft light whistling of a bird in the distance. Wouldn’t it be nice to share this relaxing, wonderful experience with someone you love?

Nah, what about something you love? Now we’re talking.

The same relaxing atmosphere you get by living next to the water cannot be duplicated, but you can be reminded of it. The Hampton Bedroom Collection is the perfect blend of modern quality, and old-town Cape Cod ease and tradition.

The depth of texture in the shell-like finish, and the hidden random splashes of color, offer the look of an antique that has been refinished often over a long lifetime of sunny mornings and birds singing.

Along with the bed, the Hampton collection offers accent pieces that all add their own dimensions and complements to the main pieces. The Coral, Linen, Aquamarine, and Moss finishes all offset the Midnight (very dark born with a low sheen and deep interest, appearing almost black) differently, giving options to add to any room décor.

When searching for a set with possible accessories, the Hampton gives all the options a bedroom remodel could need.

Three different dresser options (4, 8, and 12 drawers respectively), an armoire, a scroll mirror, a panel bed, a poster bed, a ridge mirror, a lingerie chest (seeing where I’m going with this?), a night table, a night stand, and a bed bench upholstered in Dune fabric, make this bedroom set the “go-to” for anyone looking to redesign with one collection.

Product Feature: The Oracle Coffee Table

Oracle Coffee Table

Oracle Coffee Table

Who wouldn’t like to de-clutter their living room without having to use ugly storage cabinets? The Oracle Coffee Table looks like it couldn’t store anything, but this is just aesthetic deception. It can hold newspapers, magazines and several little knickknacks while at the same time being an artful piece of work. The storage can be accessed by conveniently placed hinges that lift up the top of the table and enabling it to be shifted. It is framed in satin finished steel with a wood inset that looks gorgeous and is also quite durable. The design is careful and sturdy, conforming to European standards and trends.

The top of the table surface, which can withstand a weight of 40 kg, is the only way to access the storage compartment. This makes the design of the table look even more sophisticated due to the clean lines that result from the arrangement. In addition, it makes the compartment look smaller than it really is, so you can in fact store more items than it appears to hold. The legs of the table are fashionably finished in satin over steel. This gives it a distinctive look while making it more long-lasting.

The usability feature of the table is its best, with the top coming off quickly and easily. You will also have a choice of color, whether you would like to go for a lighter or darker veneer. Cherry offers a cherry veneer over satin finished steel, while Wenge offers an oak veneer over the same. The simplicity of the design is remarkable and either choice of colors is sure to go well with any living room setting.

The manufacturer provides a warranty for the workmanship as well as the materials used. The veneers and hardwood are obtained from sustainably harvested wood. For more unique coffee tables and other living room furniture at Eco-Furniture.com.

Bedroom Set Feature: The Ginseng

The Ginseng Bedroom Set

The Ginseng Bedroom Set

The Ginseng Bedroom Furniture Collection has taken on a modern spin on a regular style of craftsmanship. Its charm comes from the effortlessly graceful outlines that have been carved with careful handiwork into top quality hardwood solids and finally given a matt mahogany finish as decoration.

The deep, warm shades of the Ginseng Bedroom Collection will make any bedroom look inviting, and the neutral tones of the collection make it possible to couple this mahogany bedroom set successfully with almost any color palette that catches your fancy.

All the Ginseng Bedroom case-goods come with metal glides that are easily and fully extensible. The beautifully tinted drawers have French and English dovetail joints in the front and back of the drawers respectively. This offers great tensile strength to the drawers, and also ensures that no fussy, additional fasteners are required. The drawer nightstand has a touch dimmer for easy control of bedroom lighting, and so does the leg nightstand.

The platform bed is available in both King and Queen sizes, so that matching it to your space according to your convenience is a snap. The bed has four slats attached to it for stable support. The double dresser, the drawer chest and the media chest are all sealed to ensure that dust cannot enter them, making them easy to clean and practical.

When buying a media chest it can be horrifying to think of the wires, connections and plugs that you have to maneuver around the chest, while still trying to make the setup look presentable. The Ginseng media chest comes with wire management so that connections can be made easily and without hassle.

The Ginseng Bedroom Furniture Collection is manufactured from sustainable harvested materials, meaning that your furniture and comfort does not come at a steep environmental price, a fact which may help you sleep even sounder.
