<p>[QUOTE="808 raver, post: 2649081, member: 4654"]My take is to look for something decorative, well made, made by hand, impossible to fake (or very very hard to fake) made out of rare and expensive materials and in a trade lost to history. Now I know what you are thinking, you think this task would be almost impossible but I have found at least 8 such trades in history just from one country and since I've been collecting the prices have risen by 4-10x at least. I started collecting Indian antiques around 10 years ago using the above method, Nagina carving, Sadeli, miniature Indian watercolors, good Indian carving, Hoshiarpur, vizagapatam, ceylon ebony carving, monghyr inlaid work. Then you have Khatam from Persia. All of these types of antiques were very affordable 10 years ago and I expect there are many more from countries all over the world.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
