Spread the love

Objects from the distant past have a deep, rich history. They are tangible fragments that give us a glimpse into specific moments in time when life was starkly different, to say the least. That’s why museum visits are almost always guaranteed to pique our curiosity.

Reddit also has its own museum of artifacts, where more than three million members share photos of artwork, tools, and archeological finds. Some objects date back to the B.C. era and carry fascinating backstories.

We’ve compiled this list of images from the community. Hopefully, you get to learn something new today.

It’s easy to assume that antiques are highly valuable. However​​, several factors affect their value, making it quite challenging to determine. According to Five Katz Antiques owner Edmund Kindle, market trends are one variable.

In an article for Florida Today, Kindle explains that younger people who inherit these old items from their grandparents aren’t fond of them, so they sell them for cheap.

Provenance is another factor, as it determines the history of the object’s ownership. According to Christie’s New York Department for Chinese Ceramics head Vicky Paloympis, older provenance from a prestigious collection does boost the item’s value.

But if you want to be absolutely sure, you can consult an auction database. Heritage Auctions’ head consignment director, Samantha Robinson, explains that auction results within the past three years are the best basis.

According to Chicago-based antiques dealer Erik Retzer, bronze holds a lot of value in terms of item material. Whether small sculptures or ornate chandeliers, bronze remains a precious item in the antique market because it is highly coveted.

The same applies to Suzani textiles. Originating in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, and Kazakhstan, they were initially used as protective wrapping panels for ancient tents known as yurts.

These days, people have found ways to repurpose them by using them as wall art or pillow designs.

The popularity of period pieces has revived the popularity of Georgian and Regency furniture. According to Los Angeles-based designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, today’s younger generation has embraced mixing these old pieces with newer ones for a fresh look.
