This apparently is a term to describe what I attribute to people like us who have and still like some "old furniture." Stuff from the fifties to seventies.
There's a whole thread on a Canadian hifi message forum devoted to photos of subscribers' furniture mostly lounge and "listening room" items that can be described as such.
For those to which it appeals, there's a store in Berkley California which sells repro stuff as well as second hand items. You will not believe the prices.

We qualify as we have this in our front room. It's 9ft by nearly 7ft. It arrived in four sections. It's Danish made and has teak veneer. We bought it in the early seventies. We know it's been in and out of fashion a few times over the decades, but at the moment I'm advised by some on the message board it's definitely "in."
We also have this sideboard that also qualifies, but we only bought that new, two years ago from Dwell. We just thought it was the sort of style that appealed to old people.
