When You Want to Go Retro: Furniture Ideas


While of course Ivan Smith Furniture carries the most and best in transitional and contemporary furniture, some of you might yearn for a romantic past, a certain era. Love BBC historical dramas? Maybe Victorian furniture and decor would be your thing especially if you live in a house from that time. On the other hand, if your trim little ranch house went up during the Eisenhower era, why fight it? Midcentury modern’s HOT especially since popular TV shows such as “Mad Men” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” brought it back to the public’s attention. But why pay a bundle for antiques, often in fragile well-worn condition? Our selection of reproduction retro furniture affordably brings the glamour of America’s past back to life for you and with modern materials that are family-friendly.

If you feel that you missed out on intricate Victorian furniture design such as exquisite woods carved into details such as medallions and plumes, and rich, soft top-grain leather, don’t fret. You can get it all and more thanks to reproduction retro furniture, such as a leather-upholstered chaise longue like a fainting couch in Sherlock Holmes’s study. When retro designs are so reasonably priced, you don’t need to be to the manor born to make your design fantasy come true.
