The old items are starting to lose their allure, tho. I have noticed the younger generation really has no interest in it. They tend to be minimalists with no true interest in antiques of any kind. Sad to see, but it does look like these type of things may be dying out.
Yes, it's caused the value of antiques to drop as a result, and antiques shops are going out of business. The trend here now is for hybridized antique/artsy-craftsy/home decor stores without "antique" in the name lest they scare away the youngsters.
