This day marks the birth, in 1733, of Joseph Priestley, the man who discovered oxygen (prior to this, people presumably went about gasping like fish out of water).

Oxygen is widely used in the ageing of reproduction furniture etc.

Several hundred years left out in this mysterious oxygen, and the reproduction certainly looks older!
