English term or phrase: bric-a-brac

The Berlin architect Hermann Muthesius duly asserted: "Yes, mass industrial production took on the externals of craft aspirations on a false basis and in that way produced merely all yhe more falsely because it began to use machines to imitate forms. You need only to point to the supply of the art-industrial marketwith that cheap mass bric-a-brac, like embossed tin ornaments, machine produced carving, moulded leather decoration and whatever all the surrogates and imitation of the last art induztrial period are called.

Il cliente dice che bric-a-brac è uno stile ma non mi sa dire come è stato tradotto in italiano. Avete qualche idea?
Grazie mille a tutti!

paccottiglia

Explanation:
premettendo che il termine in francese indica delle cianfrusaglie, delle cose di poco valore, nel testo mi sembrerebbe andarci bene.

cheap mass bric-a-brac chincagliera di fattura dozzinale

Explanation:
Si tratta soprattutto di ciò che noi definiamo soprammobili, questo è confermato anche dalla descrizione nel testo. Si può lasciare in francese, ma molto dipende dal target: chi leggerà il testo?

bric-à-brac

Explanation:
Si sente como bric-à- brac anche in italiano, benché sia una parola francese. Come sinonimi propri italiani: anticaglia (anche se è un po' dispregiativo) e cianfrusaglie
