When you are talking about antique bathroom vanities, some people may think that you are talking about vanities that are extremely old and from different eras. However, most of the time the vanities being discussed are probably antique in design rather than actual antiques that are many years old. While some people do use actual antique bathroom vanities, many people are going for the modern reproductions that provide the antique look without some of the problems caused by an antique vanity. Since so many people actually love the antique look, it is actually quite easy to find a bathroom vanity that has the antique design and look to it.
These new vanities that have the antique look are still using many of the methods of craftsmanship from the past, although modern technology is used as well. Many of these antique bathroom vanities are still carved by hand for some beautiful and elegant looks. One of the most popular styles out there among antique bathroom vanities is the Victorian style. Many people who live in older Victorian homes love these Victorian style antique vanities. Usually these types of vanities come made out of heavy wood, they have very heavy carvings, and also boast beautiful hand painted designs on them as well.
The new modern antique bathroom vanities try to make sure that they keep the old feel while still adding modern conveniences and technology as well. These vanities are made to last for a long time, just as their older counterparts were too. If you are planning on basing your antique bathroom décor around these antique bathroom vanities, then you may want to use other decorative methods to play up the beautiful vanity.

Using old style fixtures and antique decorations, such as tapestries and pictures, can carry the antique theme throughout your whole bathroom.
If you want to use antique décor in your bathroom, you will have to choose between an actual antique vanity or one of the modern antique bathroom vanities that is merely a production. Although some people really want to have the real thing, the cost can often be prohibitive. You can expect to pay much more for an actual antique bathroom vanity than you will for a vanity that merely looks antique. For people who are on a budget, usually the antique reproduction is the best choice and it provides the beautiful antique look without the expensive price.
