Theodor Ulrichsen was a well-listed Danish artist. His first passion was drawing. He attended the Royal Academy drawing school and later on he became a drawing teacher at the technical schools in Copenhagen from 1924 to 1928. It was the Danish master painter L.A Ring who inspired Ulrichsen to become a painter. Ulrichsen has illustrated many books and magazines, among others the book “Danske Folkeminder”.
From Veranda:
“Decorating with vintage items adds character, uniqueness, and history that is often difficult to achieve with mass-produced items… Using vintage pieces can be a conversation starter and way to infuse your personal heritage, style, and memories into a space. Vintage items often have a quality and craftsmanship that is not often found in new items at a similar price point. Not to mention, you’re upcycling older items, which is a more sustainable way to shop—and so better for the environment!”
Things You Should Be Buying Vintage Instead of New:
Oil Paintings
“To really stand out from the crowd designers suggest looking for original vintage artwork. While they might be more on the expensive side, older paintings tend to have a piece of history you won’t find in more modern paintings…
Consider looking through stores for paintings that aren’t always in the best condition: Not only does character lie in those not-so-perfect finishes, but that beautiful portrait might be worth quite a bit of money someday! If an item calls to you and it has a few scratches and nicks on it, you can always find an art restoration company to help you get it looking good as new again.”
