There is something about age and weathering that draws us in. Many will copout with buying "vintage" looking items, but wishing they had the authentic originals; The piece with 100 years of patina that can't be replicated. This also happens in the human experience! There are people who choose to appear wise without the experience to back it up; They offer to themselves the phony version. Others will allow misery to make them better, wiser, and Patina'd. This show is to highlight the others.
