Vetted and Un-vetted Antique Fairs and Shows, A Word of Warning!! |
|

Caveat Empor Buyer Be-Aware. Only a minority of all antique shows are vetted, most are not. But that doesnt necessarily mean you wont be protected if you purchase an item from a show that doesnt offer vetting. It is important to check in any brochure for any announcement of vetting or for any written procedure. If you are sold an item that has be incorrectly described, organisers of antique fairs and shows do not benefit from any items being sold as something it is not. The management of a fair or show may have its ovn guide-lines on what to do if you have been misinformed about a piece you have purchased or about to.
.. Vetted shows on the other hand,

A visit to South Beach and Miami Beach |

25 years ago, Miami Beach was home to the elderly. Few of the smaller hotels were luxury mostly outdated in need of rennovation and most used by the elderly as their homes. But today this is not the case. Very few small hotels are without rennovation and offer a very succinct and unique decoration.
