BUYING ADVICE
“Have something in mind, but keep your options open”
It can be difficult to find something specific, especially when your heart is set on it. But you might stumble across something you never expected to find that you love just as much, if not more, and for a great price.
“Research and build your knowledge”
The more you know about what you’re hoping to find, the more likely you’ll be to spot the best pieces. Read books, look online and ask questions – soak up as much wisdom as you can, and you’ll soon be reaping the rewards. Researching new and emerging trends will keep you ahead of the game.
“Keep your eyes open”
Everyone loves a bargain but remain cautious – especially if something seems too good to be true. If you have concerns that an item could be a fake or a reproduction, then simply ask. The seller should be happy to help and if not, you can always walk away. If you’ve done your research, you should know some of the tell-tale signs of a reproduction and have an idea of the value of the piece.
“Invest in beautiful and practical pieces”
There is something uniquely personal about antiques. They have an individuality and character about them, that more modern furniture often doesn't share. It makes a piece even more special to think about how many owners and families have cherished it before you, the homes it was once kept in, and where it might move on to in the future.
