Antiques are like small childen.  You need to take care of it. When a piece of furniture gets to be 80 to 100  years old, keep in mind that it may need some tightening at the joints and possible some wood glue.  When you sell antique furniture or any sort of antique, always state if there is a problem.  Honesty gets a lot further than not.  The last thing a seller needs is something to come back and bite them.  If one takes care of their antique furniture, it will last many generations to come.  This old furniture cannot take abuse.

With most old piece of antique it seems there is always a water spot on that great piece.  Cannot stress enough that if you're going to sit something on a piece of furniture whether it's old antique furniture or new furniture, put something under the what you want to sit down to avoid those water spots.

Did you know white water spots will come out and black water spots don't usually come out unless you sand the piece down.  There is one product that will take those white spots out.  It's made Kramer's. It's called Kramer's Antique Improver. Not only will Kramer's Antique Improver take out those white water spots, but it's a great refinisher (as long as the piece is not in such bad shape where you have to totally strip it down). What it does is bring the wood back down to its original beauty and state. We are a distributor for Kramer's in our antique store.  You can order from Kramer's Website or you can contact us through the information we give in all our descriptions and then call us.  We can also sell it to you direct with credit card.

Something else we hear quite often. People want either all walnut, all oak, all cherry and so forth.  Keep in mind that all types of wood will incorporate together. It just gives add charm and style to your home!

Antiques can add not only style to one's home but character.  You can add a lot of charm to you home if you carefully pick out that old furniture.
