What do antique shops buy?

1. Vintage icons. Yes, Russian icon at all times enjoys enviable demand from collectors and simple people who want to join spirituality

All over Moscow, only in 3 places there are specialists who are able to appreciate the statue of Buddha from the bronze of the 19th century and appoint a high bidding for a well-preserved copy.

8. Pictures: due to the impossibility of quickly, to find out the authenticity of the canvas, the cost is appointed, as a rule, lowered. A great risk to acquire a fake and stay with her forever.
