Modern Gothic or Eastlake/Aesthetic or Both?

May 15, 2009

Bob Courtney Auctions is selling this 3-piece bedroom set on Ebay at the moment and the sale will be ending today.  The have listed it as an “Eastlake Aesthetic Movement” set and I’ve been mulling over this categorization and haven’t yet come to grips as to whether it falls cleanly into that genre or if [...]
