Antique Resource Sites
Interesting Antique Resources and informative references outside the antique marks site.
A useful selection of antique associations and other resources that should help with any area of antiques but especially antique collecting.
No matter whether you collect silver, glass, china or any other antique collectibles, there are always diverse opinions and various interpretations on what is rare, what is valuable and or what is just downright fake.
Assessing and evaluating those opinions means using good antique resources.
We have included here a varied selection of good quality antique resources, guides or references to researching, collecting, buying or selling antiques.
It is by no means comprehensive, nor does every resource agree in every part with everything included on antique-marks.com; but what the references do include is good quality information that will allow you, the antiques collector or seller, to increase your knowledge and awareness of what exactly constitutes an antique and what you should be looking for in your chosen niche.

One of the UK associations of antique dealers. The site includes a good search facility for finding antiques and antique dealers.
We neither endorse these sites nor profit from them. We just find them interesting enough and informative enough that we thought you might like to take a look at them.
