I do not subscribe to the belief that the Louis XIV Chair with rotting-but-original fabric has any value as a chair, as it is useless as such. THAT is a true museum piece.

Hello, and one person's junk (including "luddite-tech" radios) are
another's treasures. The OP's lamp may not be a candidate for an
auction but it may have sentimental value and perhaps the OP desires to
keep it in original condition as much as feasible. That original fabric
chair may well be worth more at auction than one with replacement
fabric. Old radios with original components? Don't know if the same
thing can be said. Sincerely,


Some of today's junk will be tomorrow's antiques.

Some value the technology of the thing, some only care about the case.
