What I find particularly interesting about that times is the level of craftsmanship and its quality. Objects which were made back then all exhibit enormous passion, great patience and outstanding level of knowledge. To me, it feels that the craftsmen were considered very high and paid very well for the unique, hand-made objects they created.
Form simple tables and chairs, to vases and all else, I find their dedication being enormous. It appears that they had so much time they spent enjoying themselves in their work that they didn't mind to enjoy in the creation of such objects.
I wonder why one cannot find such objects, today. Although the tools improved and people, in general, are able to pay more, nobody really cares to make objects of such value and quality. Well... I am sure there are superb and expensive craftsmen today, as well, but... When did you see something like this for sale in your local shop?
I am prone to believe that all these, and better may be manufactured today. Is it because these goods are, again, exclusive for the richest and are not advertised for the poor. So where is the progress? Why the sell people low-quality products looking awful and stops to work almost exactly just after the guarantee expired? Back then, and also not so that long ago, things were built to last and not to create extra large heaps of garbage all over the world.
The machines took over so "people may have more free time" Yeah right. Machines took over so that owners of factories producing low-quality goods could make more money while skilled people remained are vastly unemployed and on social benefits. instead of pursuing their passions. An average person does have "more free time", as it was promised. However, before people accepted robots taking over their working places, somebody forgot to mention that free time and nothing to do, was to be everything they'll have because of lack of means.
Old objects give me food for thought about many things. Imagine how many people admired this dress. Imagine all their destinies and everything that was happening to them during their lives. And when they left, all the objects they loved stayed behind as silent witnesses, reminding us that people surrounding us are to be highly valued, not things.
Enjoy your day! :-)
