<p>[QUOTE=&quot;verybrad, post: 148448, member: 37&quot;]Not really a reproduction of anything historical.&nbsp; The teens were the beginning of the period where American makers began to create new traditional style furniture using borrowed traditional elements.&nbsp; Some of this was very good quality.&nbsp; Others, not so much.&nbsp; It really depended on the maker.&nbsp; It is pretty much the same today.&nbsp; Good reproductions by, say,&nbsp; Kittinger or Baker&nbsp; are going to be better than most anything out there, old or new. In general, old furniture is built better than new furniture but this does not hold true across brands. There was a lot of poorly made old furniture as well as newer. Most 19th century or earlier furniture is pretty well made, if not always of good design.&nbsp; There is more variability in quality of 20th century furniture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
