<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nvntivs, post: 379770, member: 7975&quot;]Thank you AuDragon. It is not only in Australia that the market for antiques is down. These days the society often does not cherish it&#039;s own past. In Germany you can literally feel some subliminal hate for all the times before 1960s. I recently had an offer for a wonderful baroque cabinet from around 1750, about 2,80 m high. With all its original fittings, locks and keys… even the glass seemed to be from the time. They asked 1200 Euro for it. I mean guys…This is approximately the same price IKEA calculated me for a bedroom wardrobe…</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding victorian furniture in Australia. Yeah, I noticed that before. Before I decided which desk I would like to have I really made a research to lern the materials and the techniques which were used. Tried as good as I can to learn to distinguish the genuine antique pieces from those of 20th century.&nbsp; In this time I frequently found ads from Australia selling great stuff I would definitely have bought without any further questions if it was offered this way here.&nbsp; Probably, as a long-time English colony you just have plenty of it in stock <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
