<p>[QUOTE="johnnycb09, post: 265922, member: 27"]My take is that youngsters today arent really into the provenance for an item as much as the "look". They dont seem to care if its a 18th century hand carved mahogany side table from the estate of Cornelius Vanderbilt as much as wether its cheap and will hold their gaming console ! Its been my observation that funky sells,be it from the 40s or 90s. Ive seen the oddest stuff fly off the shelves,but at the same time watched gorgeous Waterford crystal go begging.</p><p>I do think as the millennials mature, and if the economy EVER stabilizes,we might see it change,but I dont know if victorian/ornate/"fussy" will be coming back anytime soon. It depresses me to watch Antique roadshow and see how much gorgeous,quality items have lost value. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
