We’re not here to complain about contemporary furniture, but it’s pointless to deny the fact that the craftsmen of the past knew a thing or two more about creating lasting and beautiful interior design pieces than your local IKEA. Once you see the 10 antique household items we’re about to showcase, you too will wish that your hairbrush, stove, or water heater was from the Edwardian or the Victorian era!
1. Can you believe it, baby strollers used to look like THIS?
2. Antique sewing machines like this one were built into a table. Once you're done with your craft, you were able to fold it and use it as an ordinary table.
3. This is a Great Majestic Wood Cook Stove from the late 19th century, isn't it beautiful?
