It's a show of craftsmanship, it is something to look at but that is it.

It's also a pain in the ass to dust with all those nooks and crannies. I can appreciate the craftsmanship but I won't bring anything like that into my house.

I remember my grandma using these anti static wood cleaning spray for it and it worked. Or just plain cedar oil.

Yeah I know how to clean this type of furniture, it's just a lot of work that I'd rather not have to do. All of my furniture has minimal detail and no filigree. It looks way less gaudy and is so much easier to clean.

I agree. It's a relic of another time, when having servants was common fare or it was obligatory having one person always at home, usually the wife.
