[QUOTE="Tiquer, post: 9743468, member: 85332"]I remember my grandmother (father's mother) both looking for antiques, and, my father telling me about how she once had her own store before I was born. He also told me that her parents once owned chairs that, at some point, were owned by Louis XV. My mother's family didn't collect antiques that I know of, as they were just looking to survive. That said, how long has "antiquing" been a true thing? I seriously doubt alot of people in the past had a boatload of extra cash to buy others' valuables back in the day![/QUOTE]
