What are classic antiques?

Classic antiques are everything made by hand before about 1900 in the great European styles: from the heavy oak cupboards of the seventeenth century to the gilt mantel clocks of the Empire.

The names often come from French rulers. Louis XV (1715–1774) stands for the flamboyant rococo, Louis XVI (1774–1792) for straight, strict neoclassicism. Under Napoleon came the Empire style (1804–1815), followed by Louis-Philippe (1830–1848) and Napoleon III (1852–1870).

In Holland and England things were more sober. There it was all about oak: cushion cabinets, pewter cupboards, joint stools. Less gold, more wood.

Why are antiques so loved again?

Classic antiques: Dutch oak pewter cupboard of around 1700 with joint stool and Spanish candlestick in a château kitchen

Because it already exists. A cupboard from 1700 has survived three hundred years of use and can take three hundred more. Furniture does not get more sustainable than that.

Look at this Dutch oak pewter cupboard of around 1700: almost two metres high, 157 centimetres wide, with a work surface and open shelves for plates. It was made for a kitchen and that is still where it looks best.

In front of it stands an English joint stool from the seventeenth century, with turned legs. On the top, a Spanish brass candlestick of 24 centimetres. Three pieces, three countries, and they go together because they are made just as honestly.

The strength of antiques: wood, hand and time

Antique wood is different. It grew slowly, was sawn and planed by hand, and was then rubbed for centuries. No stain in the world gives you that deep colour.

You see the hand of the maker. A carved edge is never entirely symmetrical, a turned leg never exactly the same as its neighbour. That makes it alive.

And then time itself. A worn stretcher on a stool, a discoloured spot where a hand always rested, gilding that has gone dull. We call that patina, and it is the most precious thing a piece has.

How do you combine antiques without it looking old-fashioned?

By giving it space. What looks old-fashioned is not the piece of furniture, but the room full of rugs, little lamps and yet more furniture around it.

Put one cabinet against an empty, light wall. This seventeenth-century cabinet with a carved portrait and a shell is 124 centimetres high: low enough to hang a painting above it.

Here a still life by Marjolein van den Berg hangs above it, with a seventeenth-century Jan Steen jug and chestnuts, 35 by 45 centimetres. New work next to an old cabinet, in the same calm. A small Louis XV candlestick of 19 centimetres completes it.

What to look for when buying antiques

Classic antiques: Louis-Philippe washstand, trumeau mirror and Dantesca chair in a light bedroom

Look first at the construction. Hand-sawn dovetails, wooden pegs, a back made of wide boards: these are signs of age. Machine-made, perfectly straight joints are later.

Then look at what has been replaced. A new top, different handles or a later lock need not be a problem, as long as you are told. This walnut washstand from the time of Louis-Philippe has a white marble top and towel rails on the sides.

And watch for the words ‘in the style of’. This trumeau mirror with urn and dolphins is in Louis XVI style, but made in the twentieth century; the Dantesca chair with lion heads is a later look back at the Renaissance. That is not a flaw. It simply belongs in the description, and in the price.

Antiques in a light, calm interior

Dark wood and light walls are made for each other. Against limewashed stone an oak cabinet stands out like a silhouette.

But antiques need not be dark. This small Dutch cushion cabinet from the seventeenth century is painted white and stands on a base: 160 centimetres high together. It almost disappears against the wall.

In front of it stand two nineteenth-century British Windsor chairs, made for the army and therefore extremely strong. A chair does not get simpler.

Keep the floor empty, and the windowsill too. One book, one chair standing in front of something.

And let the daylight do the work. Antiques were made in a time without lamps; by a window they are at their best.

Start small

You do not have to start with a cupboard. A candlestick, a mantel clock, a pair of Delft vases on a console table: that alone brings another era into the room.

A wooden column is a good start. Put a bowl, a bust or a plant on it and you have made a place.

In the great hall below, a Sèvres-style clock garniture stands on the mantelpiece, an Empire tazza on a twisted column, and in front of it a chair with red velvet next to an oak stool. Five pieces in a great hall: no more is needed.

How would De Huiszwaluw use classic antiques?

We like to place antiques in a house that is itself old: light walls, a stone floor, tall windows with a view of the garden.

We mix the centuries. A seventeenth-century stool next to a chair from the nineteenth century, an Empire clock on a farmhouse table. It is about quality, not about the correct period room.

We hang art with it that brings calm: a still life, an etching, a drawing. And we leave out what can be left out.

Below you can see the classic antiques and classic art we currently have in the collection. Each piece exists only once.
