I think it's just misapprehended, a lot of the crash of value is just aesthetics. People are keen on modernist shiny stuff. They don't much like fussy dark big heavy things.
Dining tables are an exception; home entertaining has fallen from fashion as women are not at home all day to do the work required, people aren't doing dinner parties and they tend to have smaller families than in the past as well.
- amanaplanacanal 8y agoI'm torn. I love my modern minimalist look, but really I wouldn't mind having a houseful of all that baroque Victorian look either.
- sgt101 8y agoI think it's fashion, in 10 years the pendulum will swing back, somewhat.
- 1337biz 8y agoActually a good point. If I had the money I would buy up antiques as long as they are compatible with modern lifestyle/living space dimensions.
- aaronblohowiak 8y agoFYI: baroque period is 17th and 18th century. Victorian is in 19th to very early 20th century. There was a baroque revival in the late 19th century which complicates things :) in the world of furniture, they are distinct.
