<p>[QUOTE="UserUnknown, post: 72093, member: 622"]Thank you everyone for your replies. A bit more info on my part may have been helpful... antique is such a general term. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /> Going to blame it on lack of sleep. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> Generally I am drawn to "newer" antiques of the 19th century as well as early twentieth, beautiful and affordable. Victorian furniture was, as I understand, being mass produced with the industrial revolution. Times they were a changing. From browsing antique stores, museums (most the time you can't get close enough to properly inspect), books, online, etc., I feel that I can place items to this era, but would like to gain more definitive knowledge on the subject and would like to broaden my knowledge base as well. I know very little regarding furniture and would like to learn more. And, as Bev mentioned above</p><p>. Although great for some purposes, it complicates the proper ID for the inexperienced as myself. Knowledge is wonderful. However, too little or too much can be a dangerous thing. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie30" alt=":cat:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
