How can you tell if a Georgian writing desk is antique or reproduction?
Have a Georgian desk, looks like mahogany but not sure how old it is. Thought it is antique. How can I tell?
Take it to an auctioneer or an antique dealer to know for sure.

Antique Chairs That Provide an Elegant Ambience to the Home
Furniture is a way of showing off our personality. It is also a way to provide ourselves with comfortable places to sit, sleep or just lounge around. Many homes have lots of stylish furniture which is modern in every line and style. There are some homes which also have beautiful looking antique chairs placed here and there in various rooms of the house to provide an elegant ambience to the home.
These antique chairs are however placed into two categories. The first category is where the antique chairs are real chairs which are over 100 years old. The next category places the antique chairs as being reproductions. This distinction is very valuable as the real item can cost the owner a lot of money. The amount does not mean only what you pay to buy the chair. It applies to the value of the chair itself.
Reproduction antique chairs are based on modern material that has been aged to look like the material that is used in actual antiques. The style of each of these chairs is chosen based on what is considered as being popular with people. The fabric and other accessories to the chairs are chosen with an eye to the time period around which the chair is built on.
You will find these antique chairs are based on reasonable and affordable prices. You should however make sure that the reproductions are built sturdily so that you will not have to worry about breakages early in the purchase time. The reproductions are generally made from a wood that is similar to that of the original wood.
You have also the option of buying antiques chairs which distressed. The distressed look will make these reproductions look aged, as the antique chairs have become over time. To make these chairs look very similar to the ones from earlier times the fabric which is used looks like those of the original fabrics. While most of these antique chairs look very beautiful you will need to choose ones that can be used in your home.
This means that you should have a good idea of the decorating style that is used in your home. Also you will need to check out if you have space for these antique chairs which you are thinking about buying. Even though modern chairs are really versatile there is nothing more elegant to look at then antique chairs. With these chairs your home seems to come alive.
