Today, original examples are increasingly sought after by homeowners, designers, and collectors restoring period properties or incorporating authentic architectural details into contemporary homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"2571\" data-end=\"2574\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"7902pc\" data-start=\"2576\" data-end=\"2599\"\u003eWhy We Collected It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2601\" data-end=\"2972\"\u003eWe love architectural antiques because they carry the stories of the homes they once adorned.
