And the best career for those who want people to notice their dandy outfits is.....
Antiques trade, various "art world" jobs; museums (curatorial jobs), galleries etc. I see some very dandified get-ups in this trade, at every level of price and pretentiousness.- Lucky Strike

Coco Chanel & Valentino Homes
The Valentino stuff was far too chintzy/eurotrashy for my tastes, but the YSL homes are just stunning, and the Chanel flat is just an amazing time capsule - it's a very clear inspiration for YSL's in Paris. Keep'em coming, plz? They're very well done, kudos.- Lucky Strike

help me identify these antique gold poacket watches
Unless your hands are quite big, these look like the smaller (often ladies') watch size. The cases are good quality, most of that is hand-chased and engraved. Can you find any marks on the insides of he cases? You have to take a look inside, and check if the movements are in order before you...- Lucky Strike

Home Bars
Here's mine - nothing comparable, it's not really practical at all, but it works very well as a sort of three-dimensional mirror, and we keep some cigars/booze and booze-specific glasses etc. in there. Pictures are from our old flat. Your set-up seems completely different - generally, I'm not...- Lucky Strike

Which is more respectable: inkjet art prints of famous paintings, or oil painting reproductions of
Well, lithos and digital/inkjet/giclee prints are two different animals. Lithography is a very old and well-established printing technique (abt. 1800) , whereas giclee is a twenty-odd year old invention. One of the most important differences, that influence a lot of how their authenticity is...- Lucky Strike

Which is more respectable: inkjet art prints of famous paintings, or oil painting reproductions of
Yes! The best example I know of is Han van Meegeren. In hindsight, his "Vermeer" etc. paintings all have some clear art deco/Neue Sachlichkeit influences, which would give his buyers in thirties Holland and Germany the feeling of a connection to the Dutch golden age. Göring was van Meegeren's...- Lucky Strike

Oh, I'm fascinated by the proper forgeries; I'm writing this sitting under a Modigliani drawing by Elmyr de Hory. I's signed "Elmyr" though, so it's from his late cashing-in-on-notoriety period. OP: What's your budget for this?- Lucky Strike

Craftsman Coffee Mug?
Hm, sorry, but I don't really have much more to offer in the way of information. My guess is still that it's German, though.- Lucky Strike

Noguchi Coffee Table: Reproductions vs. Originals, Quality, Specifications, Copyright.
I remember this room from an earlier post you made - it's going to look splendid. The gallery/balcony space is just made for hanging paintings. I think the Noguchi table will work well, a bit of classic modernism can break up any "igent's library" associations. On that note - are you sure about...- Lucky Strike

Well, it's a fairly common occurence, to put it mildly. And anything "impressive" will generally have very non-juvenile price-tags.- Lucky Strike

Anyone with any knowledge about art will be very unimpressed by both "inkjet art prints of famous paintings, or oil painting reproductions of famous paintings". I guess that's what you really mean when you ask what's most "respectable". Well, the closest parallel I can think of is wearing fake...- Lucky Strike

Craftsman Coffee Mug?
Stylistically, the decoration is Art Nouveau, or rather the German Jugendstil variant. It's probably not as old as early 20th century, but it looks, at least, like something made in Germany between, say, 1895 and 1910. The most obvious reference would be Peter Behrens' designs, or something by...- Lucky Strike
