Antique Bedroom Furniture
We always stock a large selection of antiques which are useful for decorating a bedroom.
Most people's first preoccupation in a bedroom is having enough storage and an antique linen press is a great solution. Originally antique linen presses had trays as al linens were folded but these trays can be removed and a hanging rail inserted; this gives full length hanging for jackets, shirts and most dresses. The lower drawers give useful storage for smaller items.

An alternative storage solution is an antique tallboy (also known as a chest on chest). The large number of drawers comfortably houses most people's wardrobes.

The other antique were most often asked for is an antique bedside table. Normally there is not much space either side of the bed so an antique tray top commode is an ideal solution. Antique commodes have plenty of storage for a bedside lamp, phone and a couple of books etc.

If there is a bit more room to the side of the bed a small antique chest of drawers such as the George II example illustrated is an even better solution as it has more storage.

If an antique chest has a brushing slide such as this example it can also be used as an antique dressing table with the addition of an antique dressing table mirror. We always stock a large selection of antique dressing table mirrors and their relatively inexpensive price makes them an ideal gift.

If you are redecorating your bedroom I can highly recommend using pinterest to create personalised mood boards.
