Furniture is a part of our everyday lives. It's natural that it's there, but it also supports our lives from behind the scenes. Antiques are designed to enrich our lives, and in addition to their function as furniture, they also bring to the present day the flow of time that has passed from the past to the present, and traces of the lives of the people who used them at the time. Tools that have been used with care are imbued with affection, and they have a sense of decay and a deep flavor that transcends time, making it a miracle that we who live in the present can touch them. Perhaps these pieces of furniture have lived longer and have seen more history than we do. Their unique presence may be the result of life experience, or furniture experience.
