Good website concerned with antique collectible furniture
When on the hunt for antique furniture it pays to educate yourself on the periods, styles, and names of the pieces you are looking for. If you are looking for an antique French armchair, this would be a Fauteuil, which means it is upholstered with open sides. If a Fauteuil armchair has cabriole legs and fine floral carvings on the arms this would indicate that it dates from the 1730s.
