Antique Auctions part 9 – once you get your purchases home
BySafely homewith your newly acquired treasure bought at auction? Here are a few of sugestions based on my experiences.
- - unpack these and examine them careful as soon as possible. If you have bought a large lot just to acquire one special piece this is particularly important as there may be other items of value in the lot which could be sold on.
- - Keep the receipt from the auciton house . This will help if ever you need to claim on your insurance following theft or damage to your antique.
- - Do not go mad on cleaning up you antique with modern day cleaning materials you can easily spoil it. Leave it until you find the correct way to clean your piece or get a specialist to do this.
- - Enjoy and go out and aquire even more!
The next part of my mini series on bidding at antiques auctions will be the conclusion and include a few special tips on specialist situations
