Heavy, immovable old oak furniture

A set of old oak furniture, too heavy to move. The dining table is a single thick slab with sturdy legs, and the cabinet is a two-part unit as tall as the wall. Their surfaces have been polished to a deep luster by centuries of wiping. The hardware is hand-forged iron. They have remained with the house. Avoid: using slender-legged and lightweight furniture, painting the wood light colors, using modern panel materials and veneers, making the furniture look new.

一組重到搬不動的老橡木家具。餐桌是一整塊厚板配粗壯的支腳,櫥櫃是整面牆高的兩截式,表面被幾百年的擦拭磨出深色的光澤;五金是手打的鐵。它們是跟著房子一起留下來的。避免:使用細腳與輕巧的家具、把木頭漆成淺色、使用現代的板材與貼皮、讓家具看起來是新的。
