A Fool and His Money

As technology increases and more people move towards a modern life, antiques seem to be a burden in the minds of the common people and thus, no value is places on them. Well? I’ll let you into a secret…

The antique trade is booming. Why? Nobody knows.

Many people see antiques as something very close to themselves. The art of collecting antiques is seen as a field in itself.
