If you've ever noticed the exquisite architecture that older, antique furniture has, you know how beautiful it truly can be. Unfortunately, a lot of antique pieces have a great silhouette, but really lack in color concepts and print. For instance, it's pretty common to see Victorian furniture have tons of detail and craftsmanship, and then the fabric ends up being ugly and just too much. Heavy floral patterns are typical. Luckily, we've found a way to incorporate the architecture and wash out the heavy, over-bearing prints associated with such furniture.
