what is your view on reproductions?

I do not have much use for repoductions as a collectable. I collect antiques because I like the workmanship and arstisan asthetics of the pieces. Reproductions go down in price generally antiques go up. Reproductions also have a bad habit of trying to pretend to be antiques down the road.

Now this does not mean I do not appreciate modern handmade work but that really does not fall into the reproduction market.
