Antiques and Collecting
There must be thousands of people who do not think that they own anything 'antique ' - or 'collectable '. But in recent years high prices have been paid for toys, old tools, playbills - in fact almost anything that broke easily or was thrown away. David Battle, director of Sotheby's, Belgravla, specialises in 20th-century collectables as well as porcelain. John Bly, FRSA, is the latest in a line of antique dealers that goes back 90 years and he has written about English silver and furniture. Between them they will answer your questions on collecting ancient and modern, identify your own treasure and advise on its care.
