Create A Niche in Neighborhood With Antique Lighting Fixtures

By David Faulkner

As weird as it may seem to a layman that there are still age old lightings, and that these are sold at a whopping sum, the chances are that he will give a hearty laugh and move on, but not for the art lovers, and the collectors. The antiques as the word suggests are the articles or objects which are very old and have historic value attached to them, hence are priced highly.

Many kinds of antique lightings are available in the market. These can be accessed to at the local market as well as at the various auctions for the antiques and even on online markets. These being rare are hard to find and thus require a lot of research. You should be well aware of the antiques otherwise chances are that many may try to dupe you by selling off a fake.

An auctioneer or an expert in the field of antiques can guide you on the subject and assist you in locating the right lighting that you are looking for. There may be case where you might be charged more than the worth of the antique. These usually cost a fortune not only because of its rarity but also because the condition they are in and what legacy they possess.

Drawbacks of an Antique Fitting

With the popularity comes the threat, the age old saying holds good even in this category. The antiques are the commodity that even the big thieves are after and they will eye your prized possession not only with envy but also attempt to steal it also. This is the biggest drawback of having an antique light fitting.

The actual sweat is broken while locating an authentic art dealer and antique dealer. The normal folly attempted by many is that to surf the yellow pages in search of the dealer. But how will you tell this is not the fake one and real art dealer, its anybody�s guess but a little scrutiny will tread you to the right person.

Once you have found the exact source of the authentic dealer you should get in touch with him and convey to him your requirement and the budget, he may then seek time to locate the desired item, as he himself might not possess the artifact but through his contacts he may reach the right spot with a lot less energy wasted compared to you.

Ask questions: about what you read on the label and what's not there. How old is this piece? Where was it made? How did you (the dealer) get it? Have you done any repairs or restoration? Is the hardware original? What refund/return policy does the dealer offer if the item is discovered later to be not as claimed? What is the dealer's policy on returns? What they tell you isn't worth the paper it's printed on. So make sure you -

How do you find good antique shops when you're traveling out of town? I found it helpful to befriend dealers in shops I liked, then asked them if they could recommend other places that carry similar merchandise. I liked the antiques in my bed and breakfast, so I asked the owner where she shops. If you're just pulling into town, find a store with a sensibility that matches your own, then ask the proprietor for recommendations.
