Antiques and collectibles are rare and often valuable items that are sought after for their investment potential.
Antique collectors and hobbyists search for unique pieces to complete their home decor, collections, or alternative investment portfolios.
According to U.S. law, an item must be at least 100 years old to qualify as an antique. However, there is also a market for older items that meet this 100-year threshold and are considered collectibles or vintage items.
Collectibles are items that were once meant to be collected and can range in size and cost. Vintage items are high-quality items from the past, but do not pertain to a specific time period. The value of an antique or collectible is determined by its history, documentation, quality, rarity, condition, and overall desirability.
The most valuable antiques may be signed pieces, those previously owned by famous individuals, or those produced in limited quantities. Antique and collectible markets can be financially unpredictable, but some common antiques include dishes, porcelain, and depression glass.
It is important to do research and be knowledgeable about the value of different antiques and collectibles. Come on down and see what antiques and collectible rare finds and valuable items here!
