Antiques in a paint finish are pieces over 100 years of age and can come with a high value if completely original. This is especially true for pieces that were made with fine craftsmanship and have excellent artistry embellished on them. Original antique painted furniture is the most highly sought-after on the market today with the paint finish that has lasted for over a century. This is because they have managed to maintain their original coat of paint for such a long period of time so come with a charming ‘worn’ aesthetic that many people love. The original paint is always sought after with years of use, charm and character. Antique Pine furniture was mainly seen in county Georgian and Victorian pieces. Pine is a soft wood and so was easy to work with but also was ready available for cabinet makers in the past. Pieces are usually hand waxed and can look a mellow or golden in colour, ideal for modern or traditional interiors. Pine is very popular in old cottages or country homes and can also quite often be seen in original paint finishes.
