The owners would offer no help, so the removal of some structures within a home often required careful planning.
One would not want to remove the solid oak and leaded glass french doors and archway from a weight bearing wall first.
One house we worked in we removed a clawfoot tub, a cast iron kitchen sink, with hand pump.
We had also removed stained glass windows.
So yes obtaining hand crafted and antique items can be down, howver, it has to be done almost immediately or the decay and vandalism results in both decreased value and irrepairable damage, so that it wouldn't be worth removing.
