Just proves my point ! Of the millions and millions of Napoleonic or ww1 textile items manufactured, just a handful still exist to be bought for outrageous prices today, in the first case just 200 years later, and in the latter case, less than 100 years. Ergo, a tiny fraction of textile items survive to be passed on - thank you for adding to my point, wish I'd thought of it !
