How to choose a first antique?
Start small, choose what you will look at every day.
A first acquisition does not need to be spectacular. A mirror, a small table, a modest painting are enough to begin a collection.
The most reliable criterion remains attachment: a piece you enjoy looking at will age better in an interior than one bought for its market value.
Always ask for the essentials: period, materials, any restoration, precise dimensions. A professional shares them without reservation.
