The romance to have a piece of history is appealing and has a sense of significance and meaning. By reusing an older piece , you are helping to lessen the demand for new products to be created. The extraction of raw materials to create new products contributes to pollution and exploitation. Compared to the same quality and level of craftsmanship of modern counterparts, vintage products is much more affordable and often increases in value over time. With so many styles to choose from, you are almost guaranteed to find something truly unique to your personal tastes. It is unlikely that someone else will have a piece the same as yours. Some designs have an appeal that never grows old. Choosing a timeless design for something that you are going to have, or handing down to your children just makes sense.
