lisbonlife08 History of Portuguese Silver

It was at the time of the great discoveries in the fifteenth century, Portugal began to develop a taste for articles of silver. From then until today, the Portuguese silver has witnessed the country's wealth in different periods of its history. If opulence silversmiths made their wonderful pieces, in times of financial crisis, such as in the seventeenth century, there was a depletion in the work of silver. Among the first pieces performed, stood out platters and pitchers. The motifs and decorat… Continue

Linda Caricofe Well Kept Secret of Old Time Antique Dealers

Years ago there was an antique dealer that lived in the little town of Funkstown, not far from where I live today. He was considered eccentric , because his little shop was filled with what looked like trash. There was a narrow path to get to the door , and once inside you maneuvered through a maze of piles of stuff to get to the counter. To the locals who were not in the antique business, he was eccentric. To antique dealers around here in that era, he was the one you went to for reference and… Continue

Daniel Turriani How To Tell Authentic Ivory From Fake - Dream Art Gallery

Ivory is one of the hardest organic materials in existence, but it has very poor elastic properties. Any area which is under pressure or tension is therefore subject to the formation of cracks. The regions most exposed to the danger of cracking are holes for hanging or securing other objects like hinges, handles, metal ornaments etc. Forgeries do not present cracks in these regions. But cracks ( craquelure) can also be imitated. This is why they should always be carefully examinated with help o… Continue

Jeff Mack Some perspective on the current state of affairs in the antique business

It's certainly no secret that these are challenging times in every business but particularly in the "discretionary retail business" such as antiques. I hear continually about the "upcoming funeral" for the antique business. I continually hear the "death watchers" (ususally dealers who quit) talk about: 1. Lack of interest of consumers. 2. New generation growing up has no interest. 3. Customers aren't buying. I would like to offer a "New Head Set" to think through the current state of affairs:… Continue
