    Given the trash that passes for furniture these days I expect that in 50 years or so people will still be hunting for stuff from the early 1900s or earlier to put into their place.

      Possibly. They’ll still be baking with the same chunky mixers, though.

      This has already happened to a degree. You might have seen a log cabin but probably never a sod house. Probably not so many crank-powered tools either.

      Maybe the supply of old furniture will dry up, and demand would rise enough to make actual quality furniture feasible again
