Dear Anon,

1. Whenever, we buy a piece of antique, it is best to find out more of it's history if we can.

2. It is not necessary that every piece of antique(s) are bad.

3. If one has an antique furniture, it may still have (absorbed) the Qi from its previous surroundings.

4. If it is only a single piece of e.g. wooden antique furniture, usually, the impact on its new surroundings is not that great.

5. But, if you do have a roomful of such antique furniture, for example, the whole house cluttered with it, the Qi from its old surroundings may still be present.

6. Some Feng Shui practitioners believe that by keeping too many antique furniture etc.. it may `change' a person's mindset such as becoming more `rigid' in thinking etc...

7. Some believe that as mentioned earlier, especially wooden furniture, it would have absorbed the Qi of the previous location. Time would be required to allow this to dissipate. Here, I am not too concerned if it is true or not as one furniture, unlike several furnitures, would make me more `concerned'.

8. I believe that most antique furniture are `clean'. There are some practitioners that believe that, if something had happened (or horrible) had happened to the past owner, especially a favourite piece such as their wardrope or bed, such `spirits' may come together with it.

Anyway, Para 8, is in my opinion, very rare and should not happen most of the time.

Warmest Regards,
Cecil
