[QUOTE="Miscstuff, post: 341662, member: 1331"]I'm convinced that society is losing the ability to appreciate the skill and effort put into many of the items we at Antiquers appreciate. Take this Fabris figurine group I purchased recently for example. To put this together requires a range of very skilled porcelain manufacturing techniques, technicians, sculptors and artists. I thought I was going to have a serious fight on my hands to buy this but they all gave up at AU$60. Can't help thinking this is part of a general societal malaise towards antiques in general or maybe they are too busy playing with their apps.
