Five years ago, antiquity dealers\u00a0had long-earned reputations, established bases of operation, traveled internationally to all the key antiquities events, and had a deep knowledge of the field. Today, with the advances in technology and the rapid changes on the web, it seems anyone can claim to be a dealer. The web is a maze of pseudo-dealers, legitimate up-and-coming dealers, and established expert dealers. How do you distinguish?<\/p>\n

1. Reputation<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

When using the web for antiquity collection, it is crucial that the\u00a0company you use have a reputable and respected name. This requires extensive research and, most of all, patience. This is not a process to rush, as you could find yourself paying for false antiquity. Find a few dealers you are interested in and take the time to research their history, read reviews and perhaps contact others for recommendations.<\/p>\n

2. Expertise<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Finding a dealer with years of experience and expertise is always the safest choice when shopping antiquities. After all, antiquity is all about history and tradition – look for\u00a0a dealer who has been in the business for a long period of time and who has had a ton of exposure to the complex world of antiquity.<\/p>\n

3. Provenance<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The provenance of a work \u00a0of art is a historical record of its ownership, although a work\u2019s provenance comprehends far more than its pedigree. The provenance is also an account of changing artistic tastes and collecting priorities, a record of social and political alliances, and an indicator of economic and market conditions influencing the sale or transfer of the work of art. Be sure that when purchasing a piece of antiquity, proof of the item’s history is present.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
