<p>[QUOTE="James Conrad, post: 399246, member: 5066"]Yes, I think that's correct, there is a lot of victorian era furniture that still has it's original surface. There are many reasons for this i would say, not as old, big difference between 150 & 300 years old, generally speaking the finish materials were of much better quality across the board and lastly, there was A LOT more of it. Population of USA in 1700 was 250,000 whereas in 1880 over 50 million! A lot more stuff to work with, no doubt![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
