87、 around a hundred years. That is my opinion. I have been selling old furniture, really old furniture, for 40 years, and people often ask me how I know the difference between something that is junk and something that is good. The answer is usually the age, because in the past, more care was taken mak
88、ing things. The technology might have been worse in the past, but people had time to make things better. People werent as rich in the old days, so their furniture was made to last. Nowadays, if something breaks, we throw it away. In the past, things were repaired. Many of the beautiful old chairs and tables I see show signs of having been repaired many times. Do I mind? No, I love it. It gives them character. Of course, there are still some beautiful things being made today, but give me the old ones any day.- 18 - 版权所有高考资源网
