Simple things like scissors made to look like a bird’s beak, embroidered everything, scrolling details on metal spoons and clawed feet on furniture… tiny buttons, fancy thimbles! Why so many details for every little thing? Might be a silly question, sorry.

Details were marginally cheaper back then. It’s so much cheaper to get mass produced stuff nowadays, that our lives are based around it. People still keep the expensive, detailed stuff, and that becomes antiques. Cheap-looking, boring stuff is used and discarded, not kept, and no one makes reddit posts about it.
