Oak antique furniture is interesting because of its very wide
variety; the period styles range from Renaissance though Louis
XV to Napoleon III. and all are strikingly different. There is
an amazing blend of styles from the various regions and periods of time.
The Oak were great artisans especially in terms of their fine carvings.
Oak furniture,
beds, armoires and complete late 19th century bedroom furniture tended
to be made in a wide range of woods such as walnut, cherry, chestnut and
oak that are very durable as well as beautiful. These woods exhibit a wonderful
patina over the years. |
