The comprehension of the adjectives new/used have a different meaning in the two eras: artisan and industrial. We can say that in the artisan era new things were realated to the functionality, it was something that has a new function what was considered new, instead in the industrial era something new is no longer associated to function but to fashion and esthetics. Also the duration of objects in artisan era was longer than in the industrial one, what means that the period of use of objects is shorter now than in artisan era.
