The antique furniture style follows the time period between the two wars - the revolutionary one and the civil war. Therefore this style of furniture is based more on a utilitarian and practical note. In the rustic style there is more usage of materials found in nature and the influence comes from the culture and the region it has originated from.
The next is the furniture from Europe which has its origin dating back to many centuries and therefore there is an influence from the English, Italian and the French styles.
