Collecting Antiques

The chandelier was found at an antique shop, and the bust was found at an antique market under a vendor’s table. It may be sold since it was under the table.

Ask questions. Don’t assume that because something is put aside or looks nice, it is either sold or too expensive.

Enjoy them daily.
