Antique media units
Antique and media unit may seem like an unlikely pairing. Antiques are always over 100 years old. And TVs, record players and other forms of media weren’t introduced into most homes until the 20th century. But many beautiful antique chests, dressers, cabinetsand bookshelves lend themselves to the task of holding a TV, or other decorative items.
From the 18th century you’ll find light oak antique TV stands, while the 19th century brought darker woods from all over the world. Mahogany is a staple in Victorian TV stand, when Oriental furniture had its moment.
Styling antique media units
Antique style spans many decades, meaning you can find a design which suits your home perfectly. Enjoy lighter woods which match rustic and other interior design styles, or make a dark wooden piece the centre of your room.
Older antique media units tend to be darker with more intricate carvings. You can see the individual work of each person who helped create the unit. These styles fit well with more ornate design styles, including art deco. Pair these with art deco vases, antique artwork and decorative antique trays for the full effect.
