Antique Furniture Magazine
Buying Antiques for your Home – Part Two
It is wise to buy yourself a notebook, subscribe to an antique magazine, and find out where to find good antiques at a good price. Look in the attics and basements of friends and family, try yard sales, and visit general antique and deceased estate auctions as possible to see how quickly you can begin building your antique collection.
If you are fortunate enough to have lots to spend, you may choose to locate items in ‘mint’ condition. However, it is always best to research before you buy. In any case, try to learn as much as you can about the certain type of collectible or antique: where it comes from, the style or era, the maker, artist or designer.
Find out the makers ‘stamps’ and always check the items you wish to purchase to see that the manufacturers mark is visible. You can find out these marks and signatures in the many books and magazines available to collectors. Whether it is silverware, ceramic dolls, antique clothing, furniture or paintings, the more you know about the items you choose to collect the better you will be able to judge its value.
Don’t rush in to buy an item. You will find that most antiques and collectibles have a price and if you are the only bidder then you shall have the piece. When you are next online and searching for good antique shops and markets, log on to art-search.com.au. You will find that they have antique vendors in Victoria and around Australia. OzFreeOnline.com has a classified section that has many online classified ads for antiques and collectibles, with comprehensive information available Australia-wide.
If you want to collect antique lights and chandeliers, consider it well as you will find that some pieces cost much less than you may expect. Missing crystals can be replaced, and examine the structure of the piece. You may even be able to use the pieces in your home and have your beautiful collectibles on show for everyone to see. A timeless well kept antique is difficult to find so you really need to know what to look for.
