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
2. Gold and gold jewelry. Yes, it will be known to the reader that in some places gold jewelry is ready to evaluate not "for grams", but by their antique cost. And this is several things that are ready to give for an old brooch in the nearest buying or pawnshop.
3. Soviet porcelain. It collects and willingly buy people "in the subject". And antique shops acting in the role of intermediaries, willingly buy porcelain figurines of the Times of the USSR.

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. Therefore, to sell an urgent picture, even if the 19th century "for expensive" is very difficult. And the examination, it is quite likely to do it more precisely the picture itself. No, if you are certainly sure that it is Savrasov in the original ...
Let's just say: having even an expert opinion on the authoritative commission, the chances of any iota do not increase. What to do?
