Welcome to Ruff Acres! What is an antique?  The definition says that it is an object that is at least 100 years old; however, an antique is more than that.  An antique is an object that due to its craftsmanship, artistic impression and aesthetic appeal retains or increases in value over time.  The skills, time, quality of materials and pride of the craftsman have produced an object that demands the focus of our senses and our respect for the artist.  This is true of all types of artistic expression whether it be an oil painting, porcelains, art glass, lighting or furniture. Furniture that lasts a lifetime best describes antique furniture. With the recent emphasis on recycling, antiques are the ultimate green.  Antiques can be used generation after generation, lasting several lifetimes.  They are less expensive to purchase than new furniture and retain or increase in value over time.  Unlike modern furniture, you don't need to buy in sets.  Each piece is made of real wood and easily matches other antique or even contemporary furniture.  Newlyweds often consider antiques when starting to furnish their home.  Pieces are purchased for less and are as attractive as new while retaining their value.  Many current furniture styles are reproductions of antiques.  So, come to Ruff Acres Fine Art and Antiques for furniture that lasts a lifetime.  We are your doorway to a beautiful home!
