[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 304562, member: 1296"]You often see antiques styled and combined, even repurposed in unexpected ways these days. How liberally do you combine antiques from different levels or backgrounds? Would you feel like it's too historically inaccurare to take, let's say a painted country pine chest of drawers ca 1850 and put a ormolu bronze candelabra from the same period on it? Or plain faience plates on a inlaid, lacquered table? What about bringing garden furniture indoors? If you'd do that, would you just think it's fine as long as it looks good, or is there a need for you to formulate a back story to make it seem more historically accurate?[/QUOTE]
