Antiques? No, Chairlooms.

When you think of old, you think of the stale stench that usually wafts out of your grandparents house. But when you think of something of value you think of the term “chairloom”, something that someone else has sat on that has value because of the people who sat on before it.

We were so excited to see that the folks at chairloom were using Copperplate Gothic Bold to endorse their work. The old lady there looks like she is really excited about the chair she is presenting so the only font worthy of it would be Copperplate Gothic Bold.

We believe that the lady featured in this picture is none other than Martha Washington, the inventor of the American easy chair. It is a little known fact that her husband George Washington was a big fan of the easy chair and used to buy them frequently as a real estate dealer when he lived in Old Town Alexandria.

So when you think that you have something of value lying around the house, and it happens to be a chair, you should look it up, it might just be a “Chairloom” and worthy of Copperplate Gothic Bold!
