Buying Antiques and Going Green

Buying Antiques and Going Green

Because of the new US Government green policy incentives, companies now are very interested in going green with their products. From sheets to rugs the options are growing every day.

We can protect our families and the planet by choosing products made from renewable resources. 100% organic vegetable dyes and machine free rugs are being produced by Tufenkian rug company. Mattresses and linens without harmful dyes and chemicals are also in the market now. ABC Carpet owner says that buying antiques is the greenest choice you can make. Avoiding the opening of new factories and pollution related to the manufacturing of new furniture and saving the trees is something to think about.

We are always trying to find nice pieces of furniture that have a good and classic design and are well made with beautiful woods that can fit in any contemporary interior. Antique furniture, believe it or not, sometimes ends up in a dumpster when its owner does not recognize its value or how its style can be effectively incorporated into the design of a room.

Our idea is Preserve, Revitalize and Save for a better future of our planet.

Vintage Wood Antique Furniture is Making a Comeback

Vintage Wood Antique Furniture is Making a Comeback

Today most of the furniture in the market is not made with solid wood anymore, which is one of the many reasons buying vintage furniture and antiques is a great value. Lately the catalog furniture companies are copying the style from the fifties, sixties and seventies. Most of this furniture is of fair to mediocre quality, and the design for the furniture in the market now is also OK.

That's why in my opinion buying a vintage piece is a good deal. First of all you are buying an original design. Second, normally they are made with incredible woods, and the quality and the craftsmanship are great. Those chairs can have another 40 years of use without problems, whereas, I am not so sure about a new chair in today's market.

Antiko Boutique has 7 chairs in a beautiful teak wood with gorgeous design for $1,500.00. Chairs can be found there ranging in price from $550.00 up. Different styles of chairs include mid-century, danish teak and Brazilian leather and rosewood lounge chairs. Knoll cabinets, tables, lighting, rugs, tapestries, art books and various vintage objects are offered in prices ranging from $60 up to over $5,000.

Vintage Furniture at Bloomingdales ABC Carpet & AntikoBoutique

Vintage Furniture at Bloomingdales ABC Carpet & AntikoBoutique

It's cool that Bloomingdales is selling good design furniture again. Like ABC Carpet every good store should have a vintage furniture department. It is surprising how many good pieces of vintage style furniture normally end up in the garbage.

Recycling these vintage furniture pieces is environmentally correct, and the wood is normally gorgeous and rare. That's why I decided to open www.ANTIKOBOUTIQUE.COM, a mix of passion in finding things (my detective side) and the good feeling I have knowing that I am helping the environment.
