Antique Restoration?
Antique restoration can bring new life to objects that have been passed down for generation. Sometimes an old hand me down can look like a piece of junk until it is restored, revealing a vibrancy you could have only dreamed of. By giving new life to an old piece of furniture, antique restoration allows you to preserve a little fragment of history. This helps to root you in the past and lets you tell stories to future generations. Antique restoration should only be done by people who are able to identify the value of antiques and properly restore them. Age is not the only thing that makes an antique valuable. It is important to look for anything that might identify where an antique came from, if it was mass manufactured or made by a small shop, for example. These can have drastic effects on the value of an item. This information can help you decide whether or not antique restoration is okay for you to do on your own, or if you should take it to a professional. Of course, antique restoration is often more expensive than simply buying a new piece of furniture. First of all, antique restoration means reducing the excess of disposable items, which is environmentally friendly. An antique item is almost always more durable and long lasting than something made today, meaning that it is often a much better investment to restore an antique than to buy a new piece of furniture. By the same token, no matter how nice a piece of new furniture might be, nothing compares to the knowledge that an item has been kept in the family for generations and generations. Antique restoration is a process that often does more harm than good if you choose to do it on your own. No matter what an antique restoration kit might promise, this is a process that is as much art as science. Those who understand the history and use of items are the people who are best suited to engage in this process. Take your items to a professional in order to avoid doing more damage than restoration. In some cases, all that you need to do is clean an antique. Even before doing so, it is a good idea to consult with an expert in order to know what chemicals are safe to use so that no damage is done.

What is the value of antique depress?
Depression glass was produced in the 1930's, so it isn't antique. An antique is over 100 years old. The value of each piece depends on how common or rare it is, and what condition it is in. If you search for your piece on Ebay and/or replacements.com, you can get some idea of what it is worth. Be prepared to be dissapointed, though. Depression glass was produced in mass quantities and often given away for free as a company promotion, so it really isn't worth much, unless you find a piece in a rare pattern or colour. You can often find plates at thrift stores or flea markets for as low as $3.00. It's also hard to tell if something is really Depression glass, or a later reproduction. Have fun collecting!
