Fine Art and Antiques Trade

The Fine Art and Antiques Trade involves the buying, selling, and valuation of high-quality artwork and historic objects. Fine art includes paintings, sculptures, and limited-edition pieces created by recognized artists, often valued for their aesthetic and cultural significance. Antiques are older items, typically over 100 years, such as furniture, jewelry, and collectibles that hold historical or sentimental value. The trade operates through auction houses, galleries, and dealers, focusing on authenticity, provenance, and market demand. Professionals in this field assess the value of objects, ensuring they meet specific standards for sale or collection.
