...fashion today, when even the wealthy live in smaller apartments. What sells well now are French, English and Venetian pieces of the 18th century, whose size and grace blend well with contemporary furnishings. Most popular are the Louis XV and Louis XVI chests, tables and chairs; their light-colored woods look well in small apartments. Canny British buyers are turning for good investments to the darker, out-of-favor British oak and walnut of the early 19th century. U.S. bargain hunters have been shopping for early Americana...
