      Thinking of getting into antiques dealing but have no idea where to start? We’ve put together a comprehensive guide on what to look out for when buying, valuing, storing and selling antiques and collectables.

      The most challenging task for us was to reduce it all to only 30 pages. The Internet is supersaturated with information about why, when and how to buy or sell antiques and collectables, for every level of user experience - beginner, established or expert/professional. So we have chosen a combination between many, many years of experience and day by day acclimatisation to what’s new, happening right now as you read. Our intention is to always lower the volume, supply you with real life data and, quality before quantity.
