antique dealing

Antique dealing involves buying, selling, and trading items that are typically at least 100 years old, valued for their craftsmanship, historical significance, or rarity. Antique dealers often work in specialized markets or shops and may focus on specific categories like furniture, art, or collectibles. They assess the authenticity, condition, and market value of items, sometimes restoring them to enhance appeal. Dealers may source antiques from auctions, estate sales, or private collections, and their expertise helps collectors and enthusiasts acquire pieces that resonate with personal or historical significance.
