Antiques are a profitable investment Automatic translate

The expression “eternal values” is familiar to everyone, but it is far from necessary that these values ​​have an intangible form. It is quite reasonable to apply this definition to antiques, ancient icons and paintings of the 16th-19th centuries, silverware, antique jewelry and gold, as well as a variety of jewelry. In our age of economic crises and upheavals, such things can become a real lifesaver, allowing you to improve your financial situation and solve some life difficulties.

In addition, antiques are a profitable investment, as the value of such items steadily increases. There is a misconception that antique items can only be admired, but this is far from the case. If a thing is well restored and has retained its original properties and characteristics, it can not only please the eye, but also be constantly used in everyday life. Isn’t it admirable to have an antique watch that you can wear on a chain without fear that it will show the wrong time and you will be late for a meeting? High-quality mechanical devices created many decades ago can easily outperform modern ones in terms of reliability; in addition, they have been tested for strength by time itself, and in their manufacture, as a rule, precious metals were used and stone inlay was used. Therefore, in addition to the original design, they can have a good price on the market today.

Buying luxury watches, whether wall, hand or pocket, is one of the activities of most antique shops. They are of particular interest to collectors, since they are very difficult to buy and the difficulty lies not only in their high cost. Firstly, there are a lot of fakes, and secondly, the owners of such watches are extremely reluctant to part with such things, individual copies of which can be called real works of art. To own such a thing means to have impeccable taste.

Among the variety of types of antiques, table porcelain has become quite popular in recent years. The products of the Lomonosov Porcelain Factory, which opened its own production in 1765, are of particular value. On the world market, the purchase of porcelain of this type is equal in value to the purchase of luxury products. Porcelain figurines, figurines and cutlery from that time are in no way inferior in quality to modern products, while possessing cultural and historical value, which attracts the attention of collectors to them.
