Searching for rare beads of possible value | |||||
Re: Re: nobody needs get hurt- -- stefany | Post Reply | Edit | Forum | Where am I? |
More than any other place I have shopped, London seems to have the most hidden treasures. How could you explain this? I presume this is because there are so many auction houses; Christie's, Sotheby's, Bonham's and many other auction houses serve as the "clearing house of the western world."
Especially in London, and other places in Great Britain, there is a complete cross-section of antiques of all sorts. The finest pieces sell from one top collector to another through these auction houses. While lesser antiques trickle down into the street markets such as those on Portobello Road.
So, with knowledge and patience, rare beads have turned up for you, Stefany, and others. Hopefully, each of us has been helping to sort out, identify and preserve rare beads for posterity.
Thank you,
Fred
