auction-sikorski Antiques - a multi-level system of different categories of antiques that have considerable value . In the ordinary sense - it is old , usually rare works of art , or other valuables that are collectors items and trade. By antique items include furniture, books, pictures , household items . Antiques - matter of private collectors. But interest in him and the state - to recreate the historical authenticity in numerous museums. What are the criteria for a thing ( in the broad sense of the word) for antiques ? And then the fun begins ! The composition of the criteria is the same in all countries of the world. But the devil , as we know , is in the details . And they are such that the issue price - millions of dollars. The most important feature - age . And here is the details: in Russia it has to be at least 50 years , and if the unique thing is under the age of 15 to 50 years , it can be ranked to vintage . And while its wines - a term meaning an excerpt of wine, in recent years it began to be used for a stylized antique trends in fashion . This is especially true of clothing and household items, reviving fashion trends of past generations and eras. Rare - rare, but antiques are rarities - rare or unique items. Other features antique things that affect the price include : serial , or vice versa - a rarity , connection with a particular historical period or with some historical events , artistic , historical and cultural value . It is also important material value of things , determined by the material from which it is made - paper , precious stones, gold, wood and others. It is also important thing as far as reflecting the fashion trends of his time , and whether you can play it today . From the large forms exist antique cars , furniture, but there is no antique yachts , ships and aircraft. They - the historic and more - technical value , and their prices - not antique . Ancient castles , mansions - very expensive real estate. But here comes into force decay factor . And this - the subject of a separate discussion , to antiques relationship is not available. Not included in the concept of antiques and old stamps , coins , label - its collectibles . But the famous coin , not being the subject of antiques , sometimes sold - and sold as an antique . The first U.S. one-dollar coin - silver coins in denominations of $ 1 coinage 1794-1804 s, not so much sought after by collectors , how many collectors of antiques. A dollar in 1804 - there are only 15 coins , one of the most expensive coins in the world. The world market price - about $ 4 million Of Russian coins in collectors of antiques valued special issue - poltina - board . In 1726, due to a lack of silver in Yekaterinburg published a series of copper denominations from a penny to the ruble into square pieces - boards or plates. Including - copper poltina . It is something special and valued . In the corners poltinas - board minted one stamp a double-headed eagle in the middle - a round stamp with the word PRICE Poltina 1726 EKATERІN BURH . Interestingly, the state is not very active buyer of antiques. For example, Russia reluctantly and rarely lets go of the money to buy even a Russian rarities. Needless not buy, but so strictly regulates trade rules that the most attractive part of antiques without looking behind the gates of black market. Many governments allow besprepyatst ¬ tively and duty-free import into the country antiques , encouraging collectors to invest in their country. The state thus collects taxes from sales and , especially , with the auctions. Russian antiques market with about 2-3% is the worlds elite . Its turnover is higher, the higher the price of oil when there is free capital to be invested in something . Transparent annual turnover of the Russian antiques market , including foreign purchases of collectors is $ 1.5-2 billion (according to some experts - comes to three) , the shadow experts estimate approximately the same amount. Russian antiques market - a multi-level pyramid . Below - about 5,000 dealers , private owners ( in common parlance - bugs ) that constantly sell , buy and re- sell items , mostly - Russian art. This is the - art historians, museum professionals, well versed in the subject of their work. But more often - people with artistic or historical education, having a capital of $ 500 to $ 500,000 . A step up - the owners of antique shops , even higher - galleries and salons. All of them are actively buying and selling antiques. At the peak of the pyramid - the owners of large custom-made collections. There are few people know outside of the higher levels of the pyramid - like directories while in Russia , unlike in other countries , are not released . In Moscow on 13 million residents and visitors - up to 200 registered stores and shops, large shops and galleries , many of which can be called home . But let me remind - is based in Moscow and 80 % of the Russian capital. And because it accounts for exactly half of the institutions of antiques. And when you consider that 80 - St. Petersburg , the inhabitants of the rest of Russia costing 120 shops and galleries. For comparison, in London for 14 million people around 2 thousand antique shops , 40 auction houses and countless galleries. And if you ask for such a purpose , you can see how every day they keep watch Russian bugs . However, not only Russian , and not so much Russian - more and more often , you can see where men and women with the inevitable appearance of Chinese tablet computer in her hands. They sit in these stores and galleries in the office - to discuss this or that thing , looking at its quotations on the world market - both formal and informal , is always actively traded. And, not without bitterness told antique dealer from Frankfurt -am-Main , bring down the price, sometimes - by half. China is doing its job in 2011, it became the market leader in the sale of art and antiques , which is estimated at $ 200 billion , ranking it in a segment of 30%. And yet - China has helped the global crisis : before it was the U.S. market leader . And rather than China rose, and they went down - with 33-40 % of the market in previous years to 29% in 2011 . The third line (22 %) of this expensive rankings, hosted by the European Fine Art Foundation - the British , the founders of antiques. Chinese antiques market making remarkable progress - 6 years ago today a giant in its niche - Beijing Poly auction house did not exist . And in 2011, he - the third in the world in terms of capital and turnover . After winning in Europe and the U.S. war underwear , won practically all segments of the production and supply of clothing, shoes and cheap electronics , China has sharply increased private capital. And according to the laws of the genre , the first thing that draws the attention of private equity - the market of art and antiques. First , as expected, dramatically increased the demand for works of art from China , and then - in the antiques world . The jump was so significant that the spending of Chinese billionaires in the market entered the most respected global financial forecasts. Expert conclusion is unequivocal - the Chinese market will spill over a certain number of the world of antiques, and as a result , he will face the phenomenon as overheating of the market . And, quite likely , reducing demand , and with it - and prices. And especially realistic forecast looks at the background of slower growth the Chinese economy. Its going to hit in the first place - on the world market of antiques, art prices fall, according to experts - is significant, and with them - and profit antiques market . In pricing policies play a key role is the auction house conducting the auction . For some time he looked like an antique market on the stock , and the auction - on stock . It is believed that investments in art and antiques are similar to equity investments . It was said above - in Russia the subject was considered an antique if it more than 50 years. And if more than 100, then it is forbidden to export from the country . On this basis, there is one more niche enrichment Russian bugs . The case - in the definitions . In the U.S., antique considered a thing made before 1830 in Canada - until 1847 in the UK - until 1910 . In most other countries, the subject must be at least 60 years of age , that he was regarded as an antique . In Russia, however , someone broke definition - 50 years ... Six ... am Kurfürstendamm - the main shopping street in Berlin. People in blue vacuumed the pavement near Europes largest store Kaufhaus des Westens - the famous KdV. Nearby in the cafe two Russian beetles, afraid of being late to the discovery conjure with a long list of things. On the ... mechanical mill for coffee a date ? Yes - 1955 , responsible partner , looking to the list. How much is it ? 30 euros ... Take - will go for $ 130 on Ordynka ... Today Russia - not the leaders of the world market of antiques. But it was at the beginning of its formation. And the founder of it, it seems to me , was the imperial family . Just one example . Imperial Porcelain Factory Elizabethan times were not numerous - on sale this porcelain almost never done, he only complained of the Court or go to the palace needs. And after only 50 years old he seems to snippets of memories of notable men of the time , was the first object of desire for the latter-day antique aristocrat and rich. Since then more than 4 centuries ... Talk about antiques - is endless. Can not grasp - even over what is set out in this first publication took a long time. But be careful - antiques market by two-thirds consists of fakes. Up to 40 % of counterfeit paintings - in the price range $ 100-200 million, more than 25% - more than $ 200,000 . In particular - in Russia , where the turnover in the market of fake paintings comes to $ 200 million a year, while 10 years ago in the antique shops were only 5-10% of fakes. And especially a lot of them inexpensive antiques - more than 80 %. Counterfeited all : antique porcelain , furniture , clocks , sculptures and even ancient coins , up to the antique . But this - in other publications. Are you in the near future are going to invest in antiques ? It is logical - a sure way to save them, if not better deals. But be careful - antiques market is treacherous . It must be well-versed . For example , buying a fake, you are unlikely to sell its profitable - except for a song to someone who will be able to make money on it . Do not worry - I told you about antiques . A little bit. But thats enough to start to focus on this market.
