<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 187889, member: 25&quot;]The OP suggested it might not have been a commercial piece, where the influence of current style is most evident. In Britain there have always been folk who&#039;d hanker for a more &#039;traditional&#039; style and makers to cater to them. Usually at much higher prices than the factory made stuff. If the style was current when bought, there would be no need to go to a small maker. Some would buy older pieces, some have a bit of a thing against secondhand stuff.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I was furnishing a house with no regard to cost, I&#039;d commision my own pieces too. They would not look at all 21st. Century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
