I very much like the old style furniture but one thing quick to realize is that most of it doesn't really have much organizing space.
It's a show of craftsmanship, it is something to look at but that is it.
I'm planning to build a lot of furniture for myself and the top requirement is internal space, followed by ease of assembly and modularity.
Visual impact can be achieve by different varnishes or finishes or, what I'm considering lately, pyro engraving or ink line work, underneath the varnish.
It's also a pain in the ass to dust with all those nooks and crannies. I can appreciate the craftsmanship but I won't bring anything like that into my house.
I remember my grandma using these anti static wood cleaning spray for it and it worked. Or just plain cedar oil.
Yeah I know how to clean this type of furniture, it's just a lot of work that I'd rather not have to do. All of my furniture has minimal detail and no filigree. It looks way less gaudy and is so much easier to clean.
I agree. It's a relic of another time, when having servants was common fare or it was obligatory having one person always at home, usually the wife.
