I always like to use antique and vintage items to create atmosphere in a room.
Once a point of view is established for the project and a scheme is settled on the search then begins for interesting one of a kind items that will give the room personality. I find it interesting that most people will spend more on reproduction items that are nice but not great and balk at purchasing real or semi period items that cost less because they're 'old' or 'it's almost right, except for that tiny leaf in the corner'.........The other thing that I find interesting is that 'modern' has become a style rather than a point of view.....but more on that at a later date.
Any of the items below could be used in a traditional or a modern interior with great effect.
Four large painted panels
Mid 19th c painted table
Russian chandelier
Pair of pricket candlestics
