Tables "antique" in the interior

Technical progress and the latest inventions bring enormous benefits to people, but sometimes you want something more calm and measured, harmonious. An excellent solution are antique tables.

Antique tables can be used in any dining room; they are represented not by one species, but by several at once, so that they can easily fit into any interior. The design in a rustic style ideally enters the traditional room, and skillfully beaten the principle of contrast allows you to place it in a modern dining room. Small round options will be useful for entertainment, craft and hobby. Fans of chess and checkers, needlewomen, and even, perhaps, radio amateurs will be happy for such a gift.

The table was widely used in the XVIII-XIX centuries for playing cards; today's supporters of the model can also follow the example of their ancestors.Those who are not particularly attracted to gambling will surely like the possibility of installing this piece of furniture in the very corner of the room. Round tables are advisable to put, as they did in the past, behind the sofa or near the walls, using as a stand for lamps.

The table in the old days was used to not empty the gap between adjacent windows. Modern designers have rated this product much higher. Now it is placed in the very center of the composition, sometimes making it its main decoration. The role of other products has changed over time. So, those tables that once served as a stand for candelabra and candlesticks (Gueridon model), able to bring a feeling of freshness to the home environment.

It may well be made in the old style, but increased demands are being placed on it, and not only a design plan. It is categorically unacceptable to have even a small sharp edge or roughness, it threatens to receive injury. The difference between the individual models is achieved by varying the length of the jet. In some versions it is barely noticeable, almost completely hidden inside the bowl, in others it is on display for all to see. The difference lies in the approach of a particular designer, as well as based on fashion trends.

The use of phosphor only seems frankly inappropriate thought for the design of the old table. In reality, it will act only in the dark and twilight, when the external style is still not particularly noticeable. For garden furniture, for the designs put up in the gazebos or on the terraces and placed next to the windows, the phosphor will only benefit.

In most cases the effect of the glow will have to take care of yourselfusing special powder. It is placed in resin chambers (or in their artificially prepared replacements).

Important: make sure that the table is not too low and short, so as not to be disappointed after the purchase. For a large dining room, undoubtedly, it is worthwhile to prefer the overall furniture, behind which everyone who needs it will sit quietly. Carefully check the strength of the legs and the stability of their position.

Aged wooden tables are sold very actively, because there is not enough real antiques to meet demand, and its value is large enough.If you wish, you can not spend money at all, but make yourself looking like antique furniture. The simplest option, according to technologists, is chemical treatment. For its implementation are used hazardous reagents.

Thermal technique allows you to get looking like old tables without the use of "chemistry". Here it is necessary to use sources of open fire (most often a blowtorch). Like any art, it is studied for a long time, so that uneven burning of the layers of wood produces the desired effect.

After fire treatment, sanding is often required sandpaper and varnish. There is another way: removing the soft layers of wood by treating the steel brush along the fibers. Completion with emery and varnishing must be done. Please note that each of these methods gives “its own” effect, which cannot be repeated using other approaches.Consider all the options and decide which one is most suitable for your interior.

This is the same brushing process, without the help of which, it seems, it is impossible to create an “old” wooden table. It is perfect for creating a holistic interior in the styles of country and Provence. Brushing can be carried out for large parts as well as small parts of the structure. This technique will give nothing when working with cherry, pear and tropical wood (due to their excessive hardness). After the desired texture is folded when removing the fibers, the product is dyed brown or another dark tone.

A variety of uses for antique furniture is much more than you can imagine! Each of them is attractive, superior to others.Designers consider it a good idea to look like a chest outwardly, and in a small room, this accessory will provide the missing storage space. If you wish, you can turn the old door into the worktop, to which you will only have to attach the supports.

No matter how you strive for originality, you cannot ignore the features of the interior. Antique dining tables look harmoniously only in the kitchen, which is decorated in the same way. Any artificial materials or stylistic discord are categorically unacceptable. The kitchen interior which is ideally combined with antique furniture is as follows:

• the walls are finished with textured plasters, faced with granite, imitating natural stone or tiled with the effect of cracked marble;
• the ceiling is bleached or painted in the same tone as the walls;
• large chandeliers with wooden cases and wrought iron decorations are preferred;

• The spirit of antiquity will be even more fully and more clearly expressed if we use textiles, earthenware and ceramic dishes, kitchen utensils made of copper and similar accessories in reasonable quantities.It is unlikely that someone will argue that what the table, these should be and chairs.

• Gothic style with its underlined rudeness, brutality and sharpness is not at all to everyone's taste, so you need to use it carefully, thinking about the consequences;
• the product based on the Renaissance is always magnificent and solemn, attracting rapturous views;
• a little less throw and more attention to the power, power and influence of the owner of the Empire style;
• in Provence style, a bleached table made of solid pine, treated with a patina will look beautiful. In general, country style is ideal for aged furniture: rustic simplicity implies their use in the interior.

Thus, a semi-antique table can be a key focus of any room with a proper selection of frames for it.
