One golden rule for collecting antiques is not to part with your cash unless you know what you are buying. 聽聽Get as much authentication as you can from the seller. If you鈥檙e worried about whether it鈥檚 genuine, take a photo of it and check online for comparisons.聽 Don鈥檛 rush into a purchase if you鈥檙e overseas as it鈥檚 hard to return it once you鈥檙e home!
