Rogers Antiques offers a unique guide to buying antiques with years of experience and a friendly team on stand by to help you purchase an antique of quality and value suiting both your needs and tastes.
Norma Rogers proprietor of Rogers Antiques, offers the unique services as a personal antique buyer for her clients. This discrete service involves Norma calling clients homes and discussing wants and requirements for homes, offices, hotels etc. A plan is then given to the client indicating the finished room/s. From there Norma collects items of furniture over a period of time and places it in the homes of the clients. Buying mainly privately means that providence can be supplied on most items and they have not been seen in public for a number of years offering the highest level of discretion.
Rogers Antiques also offers advice on how to blend the ‘old and new’ together. A moderately new concept offering a balance of traditional furniture together with bold colours of the 21st centurary. For example a modern apartment can easily accommodate a single leaf dining table or round table which can be complemented by a range of modern and antique single dining chairs and vice versa. This results in a less formal setting but offers a stylish classy look along with having functional investment pieces.
Rogers Antiques believes that the key to using antiques in modern days to experiment with pieces and use them to suit your needs. For example Chiffoniers can fit nicely in the alcoves of most homes and act well as a stand for a television along with offering storage underneath for DVD’s etc. Sideboards prove quite functional in hallways due to the storage element while no comprise is made with appearance. When placed underneath a suitable mirror a complete new space may be created. Smaller hallways can easily accommodate a Fold Over Tea or Card Table (approx 3ft wide). As well as being a decorative and investment piece they are also quite functional.
Sometimes just one or two antiques example (a lamp table or pier cabinet) in a modern home can be just the thing to finish a room and need not cost the earth. It would often be less than a weekend away, but the result is an investment piece along with a focal point in the room, which always creates conversation.
It should be noted that purchasing of antiques is not something to be rushed into, it can take months to find the ‘right’ piece for your home, but it is always worth the wait. There is no need to rush out and start buying lots of antiques at once but even purchasing one or two pieces a year can prove affordable while gradually building up a nice collection. The key to investing in antiques is to get something you like, can and will use and of course it must be of good quality.
