[QUOTE="Viki, post: 64106, member: 702"]Hello everyone, I'm new to antiques, I have an interest in them but never actually sold anything myself. I have 2 items that are definitely antiques however, I'm not sure how to date or value them, I am looking to sell them but I do not want to be conned. No.1 is the antique mirror. My granddad brought this in the early 70's when he was made redundant for £9 from a local antique shop. I'm unsure how old this I'm guessing between 1930-40 judging by the design. In the images provided the mirror is in pieces that's because I'm cleaning it and it's a bit dusty but otherwise good condition. It's solid, varnished wood with thick heavy glass and a chain to hang it with. It's held together by small tacks. I would like to know the age and the minimum amount I should accept for this. The clocking in clock is in bad condition and I have been offered £20 for it I have no key for it, one of the handles have fell off its mountings and the wood is chipped.
