There are many different reasons why vintage is better than new contemporary furniture and décor. Many people argue that vintage is over-priced junk and have no idea why someone would spend more on vintage than something brand new. But it is very simple. Once you have owned something vintage whether a desk, or cupboard, or clothing you will understand that vintage objects have a character about them that begs to tell a story. Vintage can be from 20 to over 100 years old. The items have lived through a time that many of us will not understand.
Many people buy vintage because of the originality of the piece. Vintage furniture was constructed in another era making it entirely different from the styles you will find today. When these pieces were made, the creator spent time focusing on the fine detail on the artefact that someone might over-look today due to lack of time. Wooden artefacts will often have engravings done by hand that you will rarely find today. 
Vintage pieces were made in a time that was different to today's world. It was a lot less focused on mass consumption but more on detail and the beauty that can be created in a piece of furniture or décor. Vintage pieces can give you this feeling again when you appreciate the detail and time that went into the piece.
Vintage pieces that you come across often are totally unique and they cannot be found in other shops. Often quirky off-the-wall pieces are tucked away in antique shops where they are waiting to be discovered The line "One man's junk is another man's treasure" describes perfectly how some people feel about vintage. These pieces are just waiting to be turned into something spectacular and be shown off in your house.
