It is collected or desirable because of its age, rarity, condition, utility, or other unique features. It is an object that represents a previous era in human society. Antiques are usually objects which show some degree of craftsmanship, or a certain attention to design such as a desk or the early automobile. They are bought at antique shops, or passed down as an estate. Some valuable antiques can be bought from antique dealers and auction services or purchased online through websites and online auctions.

Antique Dealing by Matthew Ohms is a full-featured guide on how to buy and sell antiques for profit. It covers antique valuation & pricing, auction tips, profit potential and the legal aspects of buying and selling antiques.

The reason for this is that items like cars and machinery go through a lot more wear and tear than a chair or a desk. So for it to last 25 years is truly significant.

Q. What is the difference between Duncan Pfife and Duncan Phyfe antique furniture? Is one worth more than the other? I'm looking a drop leaf table in great condition, but I know nothing about antiques. The tag says Duncan Pfife, but on ebay I only see Duncan Phyfe. Is there a difference? Thanks in advance.
