Antiques through the generations...

Antiques through the generations...

People have always collected and treasured  older items including pieces that have been passed down in families through many centuries.  There is evidence that even ancient civilisations collected and during different centuries different items became en vogue. 

For example in the 18th Century there saw a growing interest in decorative items especially Greek and Roman.  In the 19th Century the industrial revolution and therefore the rise of mass production meant older items became more desirable and the term "antique furniture dealer" first appears.

In the 20th century to present day, the antiques trade continues to evolve.  There are a wealth of items on the market and more accessible than ever thanks to the age of the internet.
