[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 305351, member: 2844"]Yes, the time frame of the cargo loads of freshly made 'antique' furniture I mentioned earlier. It is such a pity that rough, badly constructed, and dirty is often equated with antique, when antique Chinese and Peranakan furniture is so nicely made. The picture of Phaik's family piece is an example of good carving with natural aging. That recent 'antique' furniture is very attractive, on the face of it. If they just paid attention to the construction and finish and didn't try to pass it off as antique, it would be beautiful traditional or replica furniture.[/QUOTE]
