[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 343803, member: 1296"]I'll leave giving advice to those who have accumulated more knowledge. I was however reminded about something that irks me, which is how so many experts and "experts" know so much about the high-end or otherwise "special" stuff. All the TV-shows about antiques are about wonderful and incredibly expensive treasures with provenances. The less expensive and more mundane pieces get usually dismissed as "just something from a period". Or worse are thought to be reproductions, because of someone appraising only being familiar with the high-end examples. Antiques don't have to be one-of-a-kind or jewel-encrusted in order to be interesting.[/QUOTE]
