A lot of reworking on its painting, restructuring has been done again and again over the years to give it an old rough and antique appearance. This type of furniture originated first from Britain where some of these old country houses had such furniture that was valued and used. However, it started gaining a name of it’s own because of its rustic and ancient look, and at the same time, the chic furniture started adding an elegant appearance to the entire setting.
