The Art of Vintage Reproduction


One style in particular that we see becoming more and more popular as time goes by is the Shabby Chic look. This is very apparent not only in the fashion world, but in the furniture world as well as we see increased interest in Vintage Reproductions. Here at Elegant Finds For Your Home, we specialize in this area and our Artisans meticulously set to work designing, engineering and manufacturing the perfect vintage-inspired furniture for your home.

Once the furniture is built, we take on the role of hand-painting and distressing the piece to give it that aged feel. The benefit of this practice is the fact that you get to bring home a quality piece of furniture, made using modern materials and techniques, while still getting that great, vintage look that you love.

A lot of people – possibly you yourself – may be under the impression that wood is the only material that can be distressed. However, this is entirely untrue. Surfaces such as metal, glass and concrete are also able to be constructed with vintage appeal. Take for example the pictured Metal Door Printer’s Chest. While its body is solid wood, its drawers/door fronts have a faux rusted finish, giving it that aged look. With years of skill behind them, there is little that our Artisans cannot do when manufacturing these inspired Vintage Reproductions.
