[quote=Anonymous]If you can handle an older house, you can definitely handle real antiques. Both require a little new knowledge, but it's not overwhelming. For example, some of the older finishes may be wax or shellac, instead of polyurethane, and you'll want to polish it differently. Talk to the dealers (Kensington Row is good, as others say) and they'll tell you how to care for what you buy. But it's not like antique furniture is massively time-consuming. And your kids won't have difficulty learning they can't run their toy trucks into it. I agree with the poster who said to stay away from shiny anything, wood or fabrics. If your house is 100+ years old, then it's the age of our house. It may actually be Arts and Crafts or Edwardian, or even a colonial style because plenty of wood colonials were put up around here in the 1st few decades of the 1900s.[/quote]
