Styles are forever changing and one strong aesthetic right now is "old meets unexpected". Think an 18th or 19th century landscape above a contemporary sofa, a collection of small Victorian botanical prints arranged salon-style or an antique piece of furniture alongside modern lighting.
The key shift is that imperfection is becoming desirable. A little foxing, faded colour, patina, an aged frame or visible history can make a piece more interesting and certainly not less value aesthetically.
At Antiques & Chic, we have a huge range of original and desirable pieces that would fit in any home old or new. Mix it up and create your own desirable imperfection!
