<p>[QUOTE=&quot;808 raver, post: 9792376, member: 4654&quot;]Nice collection. This modern attack on all things rare and beautiful from yesteryear is just stupid, I&#039;ve never seen a convincing fake antique made from real animal products. Does this mean all Boulle antiques can&#039;t be sold? I read the other day Coromandel wood will be the next to be made illegal. I have many ivory items or things made with ivory and I refuse to get them licensed, £240 just for some &quot;expert&quot; who has no qualification in the field of exact dating of these items. I know these are antique and so would any person buying them. Why didn&#039;t they make the law in this way, &quot;if you are caught selling ivory made after 1947 then the punishment will be X, if you are doubtful then seek expert advice&quot; As things get more rare or go extinct should we really destroy every historic item made from them?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
