Fine Furniture, an Art of the Past and of Our Future
My neighbor told me a few days ago that her mother and her aunt run a furniture restoration store in Queens, and that business is good these days because they are the only ones in their town who can do what they do. Go and spend an afternoon watching a woodworker work with their hands and it will send shivers down your spine. It’s a labor of love that takes an attention to detail that is a valued commodity in a world where speed and efficiency have overtaken the labors that take more time.
Today, people want to spend days indoors, painting their kitchen walls a soft pink hue, and their hallways off-white, and hours sanding down old furniture, but this would require realigning their lifestyles and commitments. It’s not just a question of having the know-how; it’s about freeing up the time in a hectic schedule.
If you can’t DIY, then the next best thing is to have craftsmen who love what they do, to help you design your own furniture in Queens or in five boro. Some people many baulk at what they imagine the costs will be. You want to remember that you will be purchasing a keep-sake that you’ll want to pass on to your children. And there really is not price-tag that you can attach to a dining set or bookcase or stool, which matches how it feels to be surrounded by furniture, made to match your taste. It’s the same feeling as wearing clothes that fit you well, or wearing your favorite colors. You’ll feel immediately at ease when you come in the hall and put your keys on the little stand in the hall.
What appeals to me is the impact this will have on your home. Put your personal flair in one corner, step back, admire the handiwork and you’ll be drawn to more of the same. My hand-made solid oak table has compelled me to buy a gorgeous array of pottery and plates. I have green-leaf art deco plates, rose flower cups and saucers from the antique fair, white pasta dishes engraved with oil branches, and silver cutlery to match. And it’s this same table I bought a bright-yellow-orange Mediterranean table cloth for.
I’m into the feel-good feel that only comes with the personalized touch. It’s not a feeling you’ll get if you buy from the local chair dealer, who’s selling his chairs as fast as he can get them out the shop door.
