Right now only the very best items are bringing the big bucks. The " 9's" and "10's" of the collecting world. I see the same thing in period furniture and decorative arts which I have followed for many years.I tell people now is the time to buy the low and middle market furniture if you can use it. You couldn't get the same quality made new by a cabinet maker for 2 or 3 times the amount you can get a period piece in nice shape for.
