Interesting video, very educational. I love fabrics too.
I could listen to him talk about this subject all day. Very interesting.
Love him. I'm ready for another topic by him :)
Another well made, informative video from you guys! These videos should be used for educational purposes in schools as well.
Thank you! Share!
I was thinking the same thing. This should be in a course.
Off topic, but I LOVE the paint color of that wall. So nice to see a bold choice, inside of overused gray.
I used to live near Grand Rapids, MI. It, too was a furniture capital from this era.
Interesting
'Eastlake' is perhaps the most overused term in the antique world. For example:If im looking for aesthetic movement furniture, i often see it is mis-identified as "eastlake'. I often see furniture from the 1860-70's that is pure Rennissance Revival called Eastlake. Its ironic that Eastlake himself did not care for the American misinterpretaion of his design ethic.
Outstanding! Do more videos with Mr. Laughlin! I could listen to him all day!
I know this is going to sound weird, but can we retire calling things "Victorian" here in America? Queen Victoria was pretty meaningless to average Americans. We took classical style and call it "Federal" here. We are a Republic after all.
I realize that our "robber barons" did go to Britain and the Continent on their travels to furnish their American palaces and they considered the Brits to be "the" tastemakers. And that's important, of course. They even married off their daughters for titles in exchange for money. (Read up on Consuelo Vanderbilt. Ghastly!) Calling things "Victorian" just because of the time period grates on this full-blooded American gal's last nerve.
I like the phrase Mr. Laughlin used -- "Gilded Age" -- much more descriptive of the American experience, in my opinion.
We will pass this along to Mr Laughlin and would love to do more videos if he wants to!
