Colton Antiques

Of all the categories of antiques you can collect, furniture is among the most popular and practical. Many pieces provide you the alternative of using them either for their original purpose, or of adapting them to modern-day living. Furniture differs from other kinds of antique in that you possibly don't want to collect it by the kind of object - nobody wants a room full of only chests or tables - but you may have an affinity for a particular wood or style of decoration. Whatever your preference, you need to familiarise yourself with the styles, methods of construction and kinds of material used.
