Super great vid. :) Not mentioning the pause in the two world war periods was strange. Also the nostalgia effect - two generations later you get copies (not fakes) of the period.

Your videos have improved so much from when you first started. Excellent delivery. Fantastic information and education. Just the right amount of editing.

@JoshLevineSpeaks 4 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much...that means a lot. I plan on making more educational, but keeping it fun. I wish I knew the editing software better. It's capable of so much more. Plus a director as my delivery could be so much smoother. Its a little robotic for me yet...I am learning every day ! Take care and see you again soon !

Thanks for producing this. My parents decorated their house like it was a doll house. After Eastlake came American oak 1890 -1920, The staple style of Sears and Montgomery Wards. Empire revival 1910-1920, Jacobean revival (my favorite) 1915-1935. Influenced by silent films and castles. Colonial revival then Modernism. And I think that sums it up to World War 2. MCM, Formica, Futurism, Pine Pillow/plush, Brass and Glass, RTA, Tubular and beyond. What's next?

That's awesome....i thought about shooting a 20th century design by the decade video but have been focused on my auction show and producing another series. It would make a great show though and I might find time to do it. Thanks for watching and the inspiration.

Going to start calling myself Rococo; for I am not remotely straight. 😂 … anyway … Good video. Nice pacing, and solid information. Couldn’t help but notice that your first pictorial example of Eastlake featured some Empire lines. I like Empire, as well. My attention wains with Arts & Crafts. I appreciate it, but it just doesn’t have all that juicy, filigree, jaw dropping visual detail that many earlier styles feature.

I've got a piece of furniture that I don't know what it is. It's a big 3-drawer with square legs and two different size hand carved dove tailed drawers. There is no back on it, and I don't see any marks on it. The original drawer pulls are missing. I'd love to send you a picture of it. It doesn't match anything you've mentioned in this video.

@JoshLevineSpeaks 4 жыл бұрын

That would be fun...here's a fun fact: shuriken would be buried in dirt or animal feces, allowing it to harbor the bacterium Clostridium tetani....that way, if the point penetrated a victim deeply enough, the bacteria transferred into the wound could cause a then-incurable tetanus infection. Yikes....

Cnc machines in the 19th century?

@JoshLevineSpeaks 3 жыл бұрын

I understand, and yes, you are technically correct. The CNC as we call it first appeared in the 1940s when the 1st Numerical Control machines emerged....however turning machines appeared in the 18th Century....machines began replacing several handcrafting techniques and precision.
