Joo joo :roll: and it weighs in at 100 kilo and is located in a remote (no access road) mökki where one has to walk/wade 500 meters through a swamp to help you carry it to the waiting pick up truck! :wink:

Well, yes and no. It does weigh a ton, and needs to be dismantled and assembled; but its located in pajamäki in Helsinki. Transport is not necessarily included, but assembly might be depending on the southern connections...

Hank have you thought about trying to sell it to the guy at Pinapple...he had a similar bed for sale when we were there.... and was asking several hundred € for it. ..(650€ I think)..He is sure to have a pick up crew to collect such items....apparently they are "in Items!" with the diplomatic residencies set.

I'm interested what is considered antique here as time: is that over 100 years old at least?
I have seen some atrocious pieces in some central shops that probably aspired to look "rustique" about 2100 e! That was such a rip off!
I thought then about my antiques at home and felt really well! :-)

Antique in Finland seems to be anything that is not the latest style. You see tons and tons of stuff in fleamarkets and junk shops (which in Finland are called antique shops ) that is total and utter !"#¤%. Then they claim its design when 9 times out of 10 its not.

Just my 2 cents....

And still, people buy those furnitures, even lacked of style or design. It makes them feel nostalgia.Now, I believe, a rustique old furniture could not have design, meaning it was professionally conceived by a team of expert people (of the royal court, hehe). I think peasants did their things especially in a functional , economic way, with not too much pressure for decorative trimmimgs. Still, you can see huge pride and huge prices for selling what... old toilet from courtyard?

Hehe, no, I'm sure Hank offers something classier. But generally speaking, yes, who knows what future trends will sustain that yard toilets could be exhibited in one's home... and you won't even be able to use it, only admire from distance... :P

Heheheh, it is an antique since it's from 1700...;-) Has any of you tried one of these? I had the unluck and it was not even an antique, so I could be proud of... :P

Here follows some new-speak definitions:

Antique in Finland is so old that nobody can remember where it came from. Something like 30 - 70 years.

Archeology is older than 100 years. Anything older than 100 year belongs to the state. If you own something older than 100 years, you may keep it, but you may not export it.

----

However,..... if the object has not been in Finland for longer than 50 years and if it has no connection with the Finnish culture, this law does not apply.
So, you can freely import and export the antique Roman coins you found in your backyard when you lived in Heidelberg, but you cannot export the old Russian tea set you bought here.

-----------------

This is the archeology law text or the muinaismuistolaki 295/1963:

http://www.museoliitto.fi/huutomerkki/m ... danto.html

Laissa tarkoitettuja kulttuuriesineitä ovat yli 100 vuotta vanhat esineet. Taideteosten, käsikirjoitusten, sävellyskäsikirjoitusten ja kulkuneuvojen ikäraja on 50 vuotta. Lakia sovelletaan lähinnä Suomessa valmistettujen esineiden vientiin. Jos esine on tehty ulkomailla, sen on pitänyt olla Suomessa vähintään 50 vuotta viimeisten 100 vuoden aikana ja oltava riittävä yhteys suomalaiseen kulttuuriin. Kokoelmille sekä kansalliseen merkkihenkilöön ja historiaan liittyville esineille ei aseteta ikärajaa. Merkkihenkilöihin liittyviä esineitä voivat olla kirjeenvaihto, päiväkirjat ja valokuvat sekä arvo-, kunnia- ja ansiomerkit. Lupaa edellyttävät kaikki arkeologiset irtaimet esineet, jotka on löydetty maasta tai vedestä. Kulttuuriesineitä ei saa viedä maasta ilman lupaa.
