Go Antiquing with Your Pals

Do you love antique furniture, art objects, and rugs? Do descriptive terms like Louis XVI, Victorian, William Morris, and Jacobean style get you excited? If you know of an auction house in your area, plan on seeing the items on one of the viewing days preceding an auction. If the auction house has a website, you may be able to view the items there and possibly even place a bid on an item that sparks your passion. Imagine, for example, finally finding and being able to bid on that that seventeenth-century copper gilt crucifix clock that you always wanted. Check out Sotheby’s latest catalogue or go online and look at some antique offerings from different auction companies. Ignite your passion for antiques, invite a friend or two along for the fun, and go in search of that piece of history you hope to find and claim.
