GoodWood is back with part two of our style primer!
There are many reasons why people choose to own vintage furniture and artwork. Whether a treasured heirloom or investment, or simply the love and appreciation for the aesthetics of a past style, when you own a piece of vintage furniture or artwork, you own a little piece of history. We as collectors are the current steward of that particular object and have a shared responsibility to maintain it as best we are able for the next generation of antique enthusiasts. To do so in the most effective way possible, you need proper know-how.
Decoding the value and history of antique and vintage furniture can be challenging. While a careful review of an item’s defining characteristics such as materials used, shape, and decorative flourishes can help you get a general idea regarding the age of a piece, a maker’s mark, if present, can help you pinpoint an item’s specific history, such as when and where it was produced and by whom.
When considering home decor, a good place to start is deciding on an interior design style to help shape the room you are decorating.
Mid-century is one of the popular styles that Good Wood carefully sources for our customers, and we often get questions about laminate, a material that is common to original mid-century modern furniture.
GoodWood is located in the Marden Building on the corner of U St NW & Waverly Place. We are located next to CityFirst Bank.
We look forward to seeing you!
