I wish I could find this link I found a while back - it was a furtniture store that sold one of a kind pieces made by legit artists. End tables were like 70k, etc.

It was so interesting. Like peering into a whole different world

Meanwhile your local amish communities probably make better quality stuff for pretty good prices.

If you want to be new rich, just hand someone a million dollars for a normal product, your peers only care about the sticker price anyway.

I will say, on this particular website, the furniture was literally artwork - By that I mean, it was clearly made by artists with great mastery of their craft. For example there were mirrors which were cut and framed in very unusual shapes. There upholstered pieces with atypical material/construction. So yes, amish people probably make more functional stuff, but this stuff was showcasing the skill of the builder, which is what brings the price. That said I don't care if you brought me and end table made out of moon rock, I aint payin' 70 grand for it, lmfao
