Frequently asked questions
How do I check an antique listing before buying?
Ask for photos of markings, joins, wear and repairs, plus any available provenance. Distinguish documented facts from estimates. For a high-value purchase, consider an independent qualified specialist; marketplace descriptions are not authentication.
What should an antique seller disclose?
Describe known repairs, replacements, damage and uncertainty about age or maker. Do not call an item authenticated or professionally appraised unless you can support that statement.
How do I find antiques locally?
Filter current listings by location and confirm the item's location with its owner. Inventory changes, and some areas may have no matching items. Broaden your search rather than assuming local stock is available.
