I believe you&#x27;re right -- while mid-century modern is not technically antique because it&#x27;s not quite 100 years old, I believe it is currently occupying that niche in furniture fashion.<p>However, there&#x27;s one major difference in this market -- many of the classic midcentury modern designs are still being made.   You can buy a brand new, fully authentic Series 7 or Eames Lounge Chair or many of the other things on my wife&#x27;s shopping list.<p>And even new designs in the mid-century modern style do not have the same feel of inauthenticity that fake antiques do.     Mid-century modern has always been mass-produced in a factory.
