As an Antique & Vintage Dealer, I can assist in the identification of your item(s) and provide you with information regarding your item(s) along with current market trends. Information provided can include details such as artist/ maker, time period, style, and more + approximate auction estimates for your items and/ or a realistic figure you could expect to receive if you wish to sell your item.
