We Buy Antiques in Tampa Florida
Welcome to the home of Tampa’s premier antique dealers. Appreciating and collecting historic and vintage items is an art all its own as being an effective collector takes patience, extensive knowledge, and a passion for the trade. Each piece has its own history – its own story – and we in our field work to tell that story to each of our clients whenever we appraise new collections.
It is quite common for us to meet with clients who feel that their item may lack value because, while quite old, it may be visually unappealing to them. That’s why it’s so important to become aware of the history behind each piece, as often times the appearance has minimal to no bearing on its worth. Our Tampa antique dealers determine the value of an item before buying them, according to:
- The age of the item – Even in poorer quality, many items are quite valuable if there are limited surviving copies.
- Rarity – This sometimes goes hand in hand with the age of the piece, however, artistic items may have only one original and needn’t be very old to be quite valuable.
- Source – The artist, period, and country or city of origin.
- Condition – Items of greater surviving quantities such as old coins, furniture, or bronze statues can vary greatly in their worth depending on their condition relative to other surviving renditions. However, often times the condition doesn’t matter and it’s important to keep in mind as antique dealers we accept any condition!
