Patina in classic cars is VERY popular right now, with original, heavily patinated cars selling for more than fully restored show cars in many cases. [nt]
The concept being it's only original once, but can be restored as many times as you want.
The concept of patina is almost exclusive . . .
. . . to watch collecting. I can't think of another field where the effect of aging is appreciated nearly as much. Gorgeous, both. Art

Furniture is the same.
As you say it’s only original once. There is also a question of the right/ to nice patina to leather, wood ect.
Furniture, too? Do . . .
. . . pool tables count as furniture? The only sensible way to buy is second hand. Distress sales are common. My early '70s Delta set me back maybe 25¢ on the $ against a comparable new table. Art
Merry Christmas, Marc! . . .
. . . and yes, a Fortis develops a touch of patina over fifteen years. Art
LOL, not specifically what I had in mind
But of course a pool table is furniture! I collect danish mondernist Classics from the 50`ies and 60`ies. Vintage sells above new production if patina and condition is right.
Interesting! I watch car auctions on TV every so often . . .
. . . but rarely see anything other than full restorations offered. Art
