Experience The Classic And Rare at Ennis Fine Furniture

Here’s how a popular dictionary defines Vintage:

Vintage- Noun

1: a season’s yield of grapes or wine from a vineyard

2: wine especially: a usually superior wine all or most of which comes from a single year

Vintage- Adjective

1: of wine : of, relating to, or produced in a particular vintage

2: of recognized, and enduring interest, importance, or quality : classic- even RARE

 Regardless of the era, there have always been people that have tastes that lean towards those things that can be described as vintage.   There is vintage wine (as described above), vintage automobiles, and certainly vintage clothing, to name just a few vintage things.  But did you know there was also a class of furniture that can be described as “vintage?”

But what does “vintage” mean when applied to the furniture and interior design world?

To some it is furniture that has reached a certain age.  To others it means the furniture piece has a certain weathered or distressed look.  To someone else it means that the furniture piece is of a classic style that has with stood the test of both time & trends.  Yet, to the next person they may understand vintage to mean something that was trendy years ago & has made its way back again to the forefront of style.  Take Midcentury Modern, for instance.  “MidMod,” as it is often called, is a perfect example of furniture that was in style decades ago and has become widely popular again.
