When it comes to interior design: the past is very much the present. From heavily distressed finishes and furniture profiles inspired by Amish craftsmen, it’s all about bringing back the past with a sense of relevance. Check out some of our favorite “antique chic” styles—everything from small touches to big statement pieces.

On a grand scale…

Inspired by the grandeur and grace of yesteryear, this dresser/mirror is nothing short of stunning. Ornamental appliques, a marble parquetry top and serpentine drawer fronts make for a richly opulent aesthetic.

Hearty and homey….

Inspired by the timeless appeal of American classic furnishings—where clean lines and sturdy silhouettes speak volumes—this 100% pine bed sports a rough milled texture and plank styling for a hearty, homey presence. Mansion headboard makes the look that much more substantial.

The young and old…

Enchanting with raised cameo moulding, scalloped panels and an ethereal “washed out” gray finish, this très chic twin bed is sure to awaken your appreciation for traditional French country style.

Serving up the past…

With its heirloom air, patina-like finish and thick plank-style top, this dining room table references the best of the past. Intricate metal base in an aged bronze-tone finish is a Victorian twist. Upholstered double X-back dining room chairs merge traditional styling and modern comfort.

Roll out the old…

Looking “worn out” in a wonderful way, erased motif rugs are on a roll for good reason. We adore the old-is-new charm they bring to a space. This rug’s fabulously faded effect infuses a rich sense of history and mystery.

Delight in the past…

Etched markings give this vintage-inspired pendant light an authentically timeworn glow and relaxed elegance. It’s like a message in a bottle.

Showing our age…

No need to fret the wear on this mirrored tray. The antiqued finish with a hint of metallic makes the frame’s faded floral design that much more fabulous.

Dig the artifacts…

This replicated vintage camera takes one impressive stance for antique style. From the accordion folds to the rich wood finish and rustic metal accents, it’s picture perfect in our books. What a charming addition to a living room or study.
