Why Some Furniture Gives a House an Old Soul (5 Pieces to Hunt For)

Lift the pull on a hundred-year-old dresser and it drops back onto a little metal plate with a soft tap. Then the drawer slides out, wood on wood. Almost no furniture built today does that, and this video is about the five pieces that still do. The house I live in was built fast, like most houses are now. The pieces that came in through the front door are what give it any age at all. So this is a walk through five kinds of furniture worth finding old instead of buying new: the buffet, the dresser, the coffee table, the armoire, and the dining table. For each one, where it came from, what it does in a room, and how to find one on Marketplace or at an estate sale, including the search words that bring up the good pieces at the lower price. There's a poison check hiding in the word credenza, a French writer who went into debt over a bathrobe, a father in Normandy cutting down a tree the day his daughter was born, and the reason a hundred-year-old table is still flat when a new one isn't.
