Karin Laserow has been working with antique more than 30 years, and her interest in the theme grows more and more, although at the beginning she chose another profession. Karin worked as a nurse, but then changed her mind and decided to deal with antiques.[5] Karin says:
"I like Baroque style, and I like Baroque music in the background, which creates a domestic life and atmosphere. Baroque is also a part of Sweden furniture design"
