<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 13196280, member: 10944&quot;]I had the former in mind firmly when thinking about this side of things. I saw a couple interesting items cross the block recently. There was a museum exhibition in the last couple years in New England somewhere with “the taboo” being the theme. It heavily featured the sets you’re interested in I believe. Can’t find a link anywhere. I’m currently watching The Knick on HBO. It’s a drama based in a turn of the century NYC hospital. They did a nice job portraying a lounge of the era. A hostess even mentioned good quality jade bowls. The set decorators did a great job and the director (Steven Soderbergh) did a good job lingering on some of the architectural details. If I recall correctly Peaky Blinders also had scenes in a London lounge that were interesting. </p><p><br /></p><p>I bet if a poker belonging to Hendrix or Cobain crossed the block there would be a lot of morbid interest. They would be without a doubt collectible if the rich and celebrities of the modern era took the time to commission gold and silver implements. I’m sure some have. Maybe they’ll eventually make it to auction. A gold and diamond encrusted cola spoon and straw set maybe?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
