Vintage is all the rage these days.
It used to be that younger people would die if they were seen shopping at second-hand shops, but today many of them are dying to go there.
Uniqueness and character are starting to seem more appealing than mass production, with good reason.
The same trend is seen in the home decor market.
There is huge consumer demand right now for vintage items that can be restored.
Vintage chairs, chandeliers, chests and tables can create the perfect statement in a home that is being designed to feel homey, comfortable and laid back.
These furniture items are often combined with modern pieces of furniture and/or modern decorative touches on the walls.
The decorative chairs that are used to achieve this type of look in the home tend to be valued more when they are fully restored to look old yet attractive.
You can easily pick up furniture items for next to nothing at yard sales and then pay someone to restore them.
Or those who are more adventurous may opt to restore them on their own.
Then there is another market for vintage chairs: people who know the value of particular items.
There are some chairs that do look great in the home when full restored, but which also may have some financial value because they came from a particular time period, were made by a particular person, or perhaps were designed after a particular style.
Vintage Chairs of Value Vintage chairs that have higher financial value are often found in auctions and some can get a nice bidding price even if they are in poor condition.
Someone will fix them up and display them in their home or resell them to someone who knows their value.
Not all vintage chairs have real financial value.
Some are old and look great when fixed up, but they weren't made in a notable time period or by anyone important.
They are just old furniture that can look great in the home when properly restored.
In order to find vintage chairs that are actually worth something you have to study up on different time periods and determine the trademarks and styles that will help you identify pieces of real value.
You need to know what styles and time periods are valuable and then gain some confidence in finding specific marks and styles that identify pieces of value.
Antique shopping of any variety can be fun and even addictive.
You start out finding some treasure that is very old and after some research discover it has a rich, colourful history that is really interesting.
Eventually you find yourself seeking out other pieces to build a collection, or maybe to sell at an auction one day.
You have caught the antiquing bug! The great thing about catching the bug with antique chairs is that they can actually be functional in your home.
Many vintage chairs have been kept in great condition and are still useful in houses today.
They can even give your home a distinct style that will have everyone who visits asking where you got your pieces.
You can just smile with pride and tell them they are antiques that can't be found at local stores!
