Well, in the past tiffany’s made lovely, pointless things that cost a lot of money, made with care and extreme expertise. Crazy-fine glass eggs and lamps, jewelry etc.
Now they’re selling mass produced crapware made out of silver.
Imagine a rich persons home filled with this junk, now imagine that same home with high priced gomi from the 20th century. A very different culture appears, one connected to the preceding victorian and georgian eras.
