myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (921) 3 years ago

When you think of antiques and you go into an antiquity store what are you most likely to appreciate the most?

When I go into one of these stores, what grabs my attention is the furniture! I love the oak finish. I actually have a preferred era, too. I really love and appreciate the items from the Victorian and Shakespearean era. Now if I were to look at wall furnishings I really like the Victorian and Edwardian.

How about you? What do you really like about antiquities?

I think if I were richer, I would be an antique collector. But they're quite expensive so I'm only up to appreciating them. Well, since Philippines was a colony of Spain, most antiques are inspired from the Spanish art and craftsmanship. I think I am drawn towards old hardwood tables, paintings, and statues of saints, of the Mother Mary, and angels. I'm Catholic so that says it all. :-)


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (921)  3 years ago

Are you saying that they still make Spanish style antiques?


myLot reputation of 94/100. Theresaaiza (3374)  3 years ago

Of course not anymore at present timelol!

Most antiques that you'll find here in the Philippines reflect the Spanish Era. There are chinese artifacts, and Japanese relics too but most of the time, it's Spanish. (I think I made them sound like Museum items)lolblink

I am not sure if I am using the right terms but you get my point pretty much. You're smart! Hehe

Glass and china mostly although I like to look at a lot of different things.


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (921)  3 years ago

Glass is really pretty if they are antiques because I think they look better than what is created today.

I am not much of a fan of antiques but I do like looking at them.


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (921)  3 years ago

They are quite a sight. happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. bubblyapple (1411)  3 years ago

There are some that I enjoy looking at and there are some that I can't seem to appreciate no matter how hard I try. :)


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (921)  3 years ago

Hahaha... that's okay. We're all like that I think.

I love the history of the antiques and how the piece makes me feel-you know not only if the piece will fit in but if it fits with me. Does that make sense?
I love the portrait's of the 1800's and of course the "girly" stuff such as the silver work and early glass from the 1600's.
Take care
Charlene


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (921)  3 years ago

I like to catch the Antique Road Show. People get to find out the worth of their belongings.


CharleneRB (85)  3 years ago

For myself personally it isn't even what the piece is worth in a monetary sense. The piece has to speak to me on that "personal " level.
Have a great day!
Charlene


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (921)  3 years ago

Definitely has to be a personal level. Thanks for participating!

I wish I had more money to buy collectibles of famous people! I would most definitely have bought the belongings of Mahatma Gandhi and Tipu Sultant - that were in news recently.

I am great fan of Victorian and Elizabethan England. That way anything belonging to Shakespeare or Dickens or Tennyson would be just terrific!


myLot reputation of 96/100. leonelaphotography (921)  3 years ago

Ah yes, Shakesperean is beautiful.
