[quote=Anonymous]It might pay to get a book about antiques and read up a bit before you go out to buy. For example, the "Abigail Adams" suite at the magnolia link is indeed (new) victorian, but Abigail herself lived in the federalist era (regency in Britain) which had a very different style of furniture, much simpler. With some research, you can make choices that will hold their value well. So if you buy reproductions, you want to be sure it's faithful to the era it says it represents. You may not want to end up with "victorian" furniture with federalist doo-dads glued on. Or, if you buy antiques, it's worth learning what's more valuable, for example the original finish is generally more valuable than something that's been refinished. It's a whole other world....[/quote]
