Does anyone know where they came from?
I've been researching various FAQ's on the series all day and have so far found no mention of the antiques..
Hey there! Another furniture junkie
There have been a couple of discussions about the furniture on various listservs in the past--at least, I've participated in some of them.
IIRC, the most authoritative answer came from someone who knew some production people and said that the furniture came from a variety of sources. Probably some thrift store pieces, reproductions, stuff from the studio, etc. I'm not a 100% on this, but I don't think Victoriana was "in" when DS was being made, so I imagine it may have been more readily available. I also recall hearing that occasionally the production people discovered that the pieces that they were using were actual antiques. Don't know if that helps you or not . . .
What I want to know about are those lamps. Another reason for me to get a DVD player--to see the set details!
