<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 4444837, member: 4654&quot;]I think the UK is right to control antique ivory and with a bit of knowledge by these &quot;institutions&quot; I&#039;m sure most, if not all of my items will fall into the exemptions. Often I have seen ivory being faked to look old, chess pieces, carvings, ect, these fakes (using real ivory) allow elephants to be killed and devalue real antiques. I just hope the government takes on the cost of verifying these antiques, thinking about it, I really only have 2 1820&#039;s Canton ivory burr puzzles that may be questioned, if I&#039;m not allowed to sell them (£600 value) I&#039;ll be a little annoyed but if it stops the main majority of my antiques being faked then it&#039;s a price worth paying. Perhaps ivory in antiques (if the government get it right) will become a mark of authenticity?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
