The old adage of “a stitch in time, saves nine” really is true when it comes to antiques and we at Daly Antique Services appreciate this more than most. Taking care of our antiques now will see them through many generations. It is in our interest to look after these items, as the beauty of antique furniture is that it has lasted generations and this is proof and testimony to the cabinetmakers of the period.
The cabinetmaking, workmanship and materials used in these items of furniture are of a superior quality and, in many cases, are extinct or protected specimens. The prolonged existence of these items is testament to their strength and quality.
Living in today’s throw-away society, surrounded by excessive production of short-lived or disposable items reinforces the fact that antiques are an investment that will stand the test of time and lives. As fashions come and go, future generations will inherit an even rarer and, as a result, more sought after and valuable antique.
