Chairs are one of the most popular
and most used pieces of furniture; dating back to the 16th century. In
the initial years, chairs were used as article of dignity rather than an
article of ordinary use, it was only in the later years that common
people used this piece of furniture. Antique chairs belonging to
different periods had different styles and designs. With the increase in
the demand for antique look-alike, manufacturers are producing antique
chair reproductions to cater to the growing market. Antique chairs
reflect the social history of the period they belong to and are also a
sound investment.
