Even in the '70s of the last century was the fashion for such works "in style". Dozen furniture firms, for example in Italy, the industrial way of producing such furniture. This furniture now often 40 - 50 years, one fifth the price.
Decent table early 18 th century can and 10.000 - 15.000 euros pull.
A decent table in style, made in the 20 th century, 1.000 - 2.000 Euro.
In general, the devil break a leg .
